Re: “Talking Density In Irvington

A wise man once told me that the only thing Portlanders hate more than sprawl is density.

Re: “Fantasy Baseball Stadiums

Finnegan, i'm an architect and have been to quite a few Winterhawks games - they're pretty fun (I'll have to keep my eye out for a cat fancier show). I also saw the Davis Cup Finals and Obama in the MC - two events I'll never forget. I love the transparent box with a teacup floating inside, and if I'm not mistaken the glass curtain wall is supported by wood columns - pretty rare and a classy regional touch on the international style. The building is a little worse for wear, but it does not need $150 million to upgrade. That's absurd. Maybe $20 million. Demolishing it for a AAA ballpark that can't be expanded for major league is shortsighted and foolish when there are better (albeit more time conusming) alternatives on the table.

Also, the MC really does look nice from my pearl condo. What's so wrong with that?
