February 11, 20232 yr Gosh darn, those supertalls are an acquired taste. Simultaneously exciting and disjointed. Maybe we should ask @Geowizicalto render a few of them into the 3 C downtowns to see what our futures may hold. 😉 Edited February 11, 20232 yr by DO_Summers

December 12, 20231 yr In the serene setting of Ohio’s Hocking Hills State Park, a remarkable concrete bridge spans Old Man’s Creek. Made from a series of cast-in-place concrete platforms and piers, this bridge is a testament to both resilience and design. The need for this structure arose from a catastrophic event on January 7, 1998. A flash flood ravaged Old Man Cave’s Gorge Trail, severely damaging its three stone bridges and completely obliterating seven wooden bridges. This disaster made it clear that a stronger, more durable trail system was urgently needed to withstand the impulses of nature. I've posted more photos and narrative here.

May just be style that many copied in that period as I believe I have seen similar looks in Poland and Moscow.
November 21, 2024Nov 21 So much fine detail in many of the old buildings. It would cost a small fortune (or large fortune?) to build something like that now. Edited November 21, 2024Nov 21 by LibertyBlvd

It's rumored that Moscow State University and the Palace of Science and Culture (which some want to rename after St. John Paul or Reagan as a slap at the Russians) were modeled on the Terminal Tower, which was modeled on NY City Hall (shown).

I knew there had to be a connection given the similarity. Thank you.

The Municipal Building in NYC was the clear inspiration for all of these, including the Terminal Tower. Though the Seven Sisters in Moscow's general inspiration came from the never-built Palace of the Soviets.

May 22May 22 Tracing the History of U.S. Route 24 from Genoa, Colorado’s Wonder TowerPassing through the open plains of eastern Colorado, we made a brief stop at one of the state’s more peculiar roadside relics: the World’s Wonder View Tower. From here, you can trace the evolution of American travel—layered like sediment across the landscape. Down below, a railroad cuts a sharp line across the prairie. Nearby are the remains of early highway alignments and, farther still, the steady hum of Interstate 70.
May 22May 22 Ah yes, Genoa. The middle point between the Kansas border and Denver. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
