What town am I?

John Massengale is a “recovering architect,” author (New York 1900, Metropolitan Architecture and Urbanism 1890 - 1915), and started a popular New Urbanist internet list. He also publishes a weblog called Veritas et Venustas. I like his “Name this Town” photo albums. I didn’t have much luck. Here’s a hint, this one is in the Northeast.

Speaking of urbanism and the Northeast, I’d like to give my mom and sister a big Texas shout-out for their recent NYC trip’s goal of not only shopping, dining, and taking in shows, but also to “walk the neighborhoods.” They explored downtown neighborhoods like SoHo, TriBeCa, and others. It sounds like The Shops at Columbus Circle at the new Time Warner building are pretty spectacular. Cool photo of the circle…
