I have written numerous prefaces for books, but I must say that the one for «Street Design» by my friends @massengale.com & @victordover.bsky.social was a real pleasure & also an honour 10 years after its release with Prince Charles at the time. The afterword by Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk another joy

I have received a wonderful gift from my friends @massengale.com & @victordover.bsky.social: the 2d ed. of their iconic book "Street Design: The Secret to Great Cities and Towns". 10 years ago, then Prince Charles wrote the foreword. I now have the honour of writing it. An amazing book! Well done 👏👏

The new edition of Street Design by John Massengale & @victordover.bsky.social just showed up... It is a beast (well over 600 pages) of good information.

ICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.

Manhattanhenge returns to NYC this week with street sunsets
The phenomenon occurs whenever the path of the setting sun aligns with Manhattan's street grid, which skews slightly to the northeast.

I respect the rights of both sides of this debate to protest. I'm over at the Barnard Library, and my wife is at Avery Library (in a beautiful room designed by McKim, Mead & White). I don't respect Donald Trump's attempt to take away academic freedom. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
