Random PoP Observation: Urban Catch 22?

Have you noticed it is staying light out much later? That is a great feeling, knowing Spring is around the corner. But here is the catch 22: I can’t wait for the longer days but I’m dreading the inevitable shootings that will come with the longer days and warmer weather. Does this mean I’ve become jaded?

Similarly another catch 22: I can’t wait for the warmer weather so that I won’t have to pay anymore $237 heating gas bills (Ed. note: and that is keeping the thermostat at 58-60 degrees, ok, 62 degrees when I have company over) but I don’t have the scratch to the tune of $14,000 to put in central air conditioning. I know, I’m living a very tough life…

I was a little thrown by the pea green color but on closer inspection I feel these condos have a bit of barracks look to them. Thumbs up or thumbs down?

A commenter a while back didn’t like the cool slate steps I had featured. So what do you think of the brick option? I have to be honest, sincerely, I freaking love the astroturf covering. I’m not sure it goes with brick, but think if you had astroturf down the whole steps, you could have a sweet practice putting green.

Does it Fit With the ‘Hood or Not?

Despite the fact that this building probably has a sweet roof deck, I can’t quite get over how much it clashes with the classic rowhouse right next door. What do you think -does it fit or no?
