Northwestern in Summer

From 2016 06 26 Northwestern

Northwestern University is not only a great university, it's a beautiful university. Set on the lakeshore of Lake Michigan in Evanston, Illinois, the view is stunning. To the south, down the shoreline, is the Chicago skyline. To the east, stretching to the horizon, is the lake. There's no better campus to stroll on a sunny day in summer (OK, there is one, but Northwestern is in the top two, honest).

All photos from our afternoon at Northwestern University can be seen on Google Photos.

Request for More Parking in Richardson

It's not just downtown Dallas towers that are adding parking. The owners of a Telecom Corridor office building plan to construct a four-level parking garage to add more appeal to the project. The three-story Campbell Commons office campus in Richardson was built in 1998 at 1201 E. Campbell Road.
I saw that and scratched my head. Why does that old office building need more parking? Why would today's tenant need more parking than the tenant who occupied the building twenty years ago? I can think of only one reason. Employers today are cramming more workers into less space than employers did in the past. And that can be for one of two reasons.

Trumbo (2015)

IMDB
Trumbo (2015): Heavy-handed treatment of 1950s Hollywood blacklist. IOW, just like the true history. So-so drama, but important history. B-
