Here is the Stahl family's FB message regarding the sale of Case Study House 22. Possibly my all-time #1 architecture tour... Carlotta and Mark Stahl were hosting and it was absolutely magical. No one wanted to leave. Won't be the same under new owners, esp. given likely price tag, but 🤞

Best news item this summer (NYT). I want to order a root-beer float from this character, and then write a children’s book about the experience.

Lovely visit to the Addison Gallery at Philips Academy Andover, one of those smallish museums that's just the right size.
Couldn't escape the glare, but -- this photo! Lucien Aigner, Louis Armstrong in a swing performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream, Rockefeller Center, 1939

People who know Amsterdam: We're thinking of spending a few days there after Christmas, possibly over the New Year. Good time to be in the city? Any seasonal recos, or favorite sites in general? Thank you!

Any other location-spotters notice that Jimmy and Kayla's office in HACKS is architecturally interesting? Turns out it's in the American Cement Building (Daniel, Mann, Johnson, and Mendenhall, 1964), in Westlake.

It's hard, though, to top this man's selfies (1889). They pin you in place on the floor.

There are some other lovely portraits, too, such as "The Raising of Lazarus (After Rembrandt)," 1890.
