I'm a historical landscape architect, photographer, writer, recovering graphic designer and journalist, pop culture enthusiast, and unabashed sports fan. I started this blog to keep in touch with friends from Boston when I moved back to my hometown of Portland, Oregon. I wanted a way to share stories that I would have otherwise shared over drinks or while watching a Red Sox game. In my dream world I wouldn't have to choose between living on the west coast or east coast. This blog allows me to zip up the distance between the two.
from time to time i find myself on the road... and recently i visited st. louis. touring the grounds of the st. louis arch designed by eero saarinen and dan kiley was the highlight. going to the top of the arch was not. but hey, now that i've done that i don't ever have to do it again. that's what i love about life - there's always a brightside.
