Excited to share photos of our concession stand adaptive re-use in Hickory Hills! By formalizing the ad-hoc use of the garage with a new service window, metal panels, and a supergraphic, we add to the placemaking efforts of The Lakota Group’s Veterans Park refresh.

A church dedicated to Bonhoeffer being Brutalist makes a hell of a lot of sense

I want this to go to the Supreme Court where they end up ruling all gerrymandering unconstitutional. Make the GOP destroy its own system.
The DOJ is suing California over Prop 50, saying it's a "brazen power grab that tramples on civil rights and mocks the democratic process."
Nothing mocks democracy like a president ordering red states to gerrymander while prosecuting a blue state for letting its voters decide.

Dibs does not resemble a game of jacks here
If you have ‘dibs’ on something, you claim or declare rights to that thing before anyone else.
‘Dibs’ comes from an old children's game called ‘dibstones,’ which resembled the game of jacks.

This absolute mid century banger of a church in East Chicago just got listed on the NRHP in September ‘25, one of 12 new listings in the state thanks to the great folks at Indiana DNR and Indiana Landmarks.

"the legend lives on from the siuslaw on down of the big whale they blew up in florence..."
November 12th, 1970, 450kg of dynamite is placed in the sand on the leeward side of the 45ft deceased sperm whale, the resulting blast is recorded and broadcast on KATU
the explosion launched chunks of whale nearly a fifth of a mile, some large enough to damage vehicles

Bertrand MFIN Goldberg baby (although these exact windows are no longer there - replaced in 2000 or so)
I go through this book every now and then as I learn about new guys and slowly recognise more names. It’s the book that keeps on giving. Next entry features this banger, paging @jmings.bsky.social:
