Will be going to Merci for the burger pop-up. Thanks for putting us on notice about the banana pudding…quick plug for the duck leg confit at Merci. I finally tried it yesterday. Delightful! I would probably get a small side of something to go with it though, since an order comes with 2 duck legs and a great housemade garlic sauce, but doesn’t come with a side dish to round out the duck.
I M Pei put a glass pyramid in the middle of the Louvre. I get we are not Paris. But still, an epic location deserves art and not another birthday cake with a tile roof.
Yes, you are not an architect but you are right. This is so boring, could be in any city in Southern CA, Palm Springs, Bakersfield. Oh, silly me. It's the B. Kernal Institute of building.
Great read as always! My parents are in Portugal and enjoyed the article also. They report that you are spot on about the sidewalks.
Hi Rob,
Is the architect and his staff liked by the workers?
That’ll depend on how long the permitting process takes.
Would love to share the amazing property I just closed 'off market' on Pomar Lane after 7 offers for $8,088,000. Where to send information and photos?

Any idea when this is scheduled to begin development?
Ditto the other two comments. Wonderful to see this country! Thanks!
Hotel Santa Barbara. 533 State St.
This was a fantastic article with great photos. Wow.
Thank you again Erik! I love your travel reporting.
A Michelin star from Montesano Group? That’s a stretch. The food at Lucky’s has devolved to tasting and looking like it fell off a Sysco truck. It used to be good. It’s practically inedible these days.
Sounds like you have little to know information and you are clearly making assumptions.
It isn't a sob story. You didn't have to repeat his awful words.
Time to try a little humanity toward others, don't you think?
I was referring to Germany’s misguided and premature decommissioning of nuclear in the 2010s which led directly to filling the gaps by burning more coal. You can see the compensation here: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3b/Energymix_Germany.svg/620px-Energymix_Germany.svg.png
They most likely were designed after pressure cookers, why mess with perfection?
But FWIW, the T1 repeater cans don't just keep out the rain, they are actually pressurized with inert nitrogen gas. Sensors inside monitor the can's pressure so the telco knows if one springs a leak before moisture gets in and destroys all the expensive goodies inside.
Just quoting the Sima guy who said it- Jim Knell. Take your sob story to him
What a horrible thing to say about fellow human beings.
I think that's the Carpe Data office window on the 3rd floor. The Lululemon building, on state and De La Guerra.
All those homeless will probably just move up the block a few feet to Starbucks.
Where will all the filthy folk go now?
Agreed. Wholeheartedly.
The FS is currently under contract to be sold. You can bet the new owners will be tasked with bringing the decor & furnishings up to FS brand standard.
I have been hoping this McDonald’s would close for years. It’s been such a blight on an otherwise great block. Hallelujah.
