  • Here’s where the feds once envisioned a mile-long cubicle farm Friday, 25 October 2019
    During this year’s World Series, millions of baseball fans will have their eyes turned to Nationals Park, with the new skyline of Half Street SE beyond the left field line. But if federal planners from the 1960s had their way, that view could have been of a tremendous Brutalist office compound instead of a ballfield, dining/entertainment venues, and thousand […]

I was seriously surprised to discover that the much shorter ride around DC was considerably more tiring. Sure, the mu […]
  • A stadium subsidy by any other name is still a stadium subsidy Tuesday, 15 January 2019
    Stadium subsidies are a waste of public funds, according to polls of both the general public and and economists. Amidst this nearly universal disdain, politicians have found inventive shell games that cloak colossal giveaways of taxpayer resources to billionaire sports team owners. Two of these charades have already been hinted at in news reports about what […]
