Artifact 1
Now I keep a Word document of thoughts, notes, ideas that never get executed, that changes daily and that I email to myself so I always have a version. Currently, it's 38 pages and I'm […]
Mostly Me
The Making of a NIMBY
In Carroll Gardens it seemed like every other house had a giant construction dumpster out front. Gut renos on their way to dream houses. In Clinton Hill, or this particular far Northeast corner that's as […]
