Most unfairly maligned building in the country. What’s bad about it is the wasteland that surrounds it, the jfk building, the tower. I know the plan is from Gropius, or near him, but overall the destruction of boston city center and the west end is one of the worst urban planning decisions of the „urban renewal“ and interstate highway era

Everyone please meet someone who has never read a decent critique of the first avatar and thinks anyone who points out that the story is not a whole lot more than a retelling of every other story about the white guy who goes native and teaches the natives how to be better natives than they could have been without the white guy Superman is „woke“.

Guess what genius, this is a discussion about narratives that has been going on a lot longer than whenever some wingnut snowflake came up with the term „woke“ to describe any discussion they have trouble following

White mountains in the winter months should only be climbed with alpine gear - you must be prepared for potentially harsh, subzero conditions and strong winds/heavy precipitation.

Even on clear days, with stellar weather forecasts, you cannot go up there without the right gear.

2 years ago went up to Monroe with my BIL, and we saw a group of 4 guys from Quebec headed up to mt. Washington, fully outfitted, alpine boots, goggles, heavy gloves, the works. They turned back because of high winds. They knew. I got frostbite.
