- My monthly column in MAS Context returns with "A Dark Age for the Renaissance Center," as GM and Bedrock plan to demolish the podium and two towers of the Detroit landmark. The iconic 1977 design, a remnant of Detroit's response to Urban Renewal, "means Detroit nearly as much as the Old English D."

- If the building of 30 North LaSalle and the demolition of the Stock Exchange are inextricably linked in representing a significant moment in the development of the preservation movement in Chicago, than the landmarking of 30 North LaSalle represents a significant moment in its deterioration.

- Landmarking 30 North LaSalle Street would be more cynical than ironic: (thread incoming)

- For MAS Context, I investigated what happened to Gerri's Palm Tavern, a legendary Bronzeville venue established in 1933 that survived World Wars, urban renewal, disinvestment, and urban attrition, but ended up a victim of aldermanic prerogative, and an ill conceived development plan.

- Unpaid labor at a municipal planning agency is not okay--it devalues the expertise required for these positions, and drives inequity. Chicago's Department of Planning and Development can and should do better!

- Grateful to have this op-ed on the sale of the Roger Brown Home & Studio written by myself and @susannahribs.bsky.social in the Chicago Tribune. This is precisely the type of civic engagement we learned how to do as students in historic preservation at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
