With Your Coffee

Pink & more pink in the Village, a neighborhood in Montreal, all decorated for the summertime Aires Libres Street festival. I, of course, desperately needed a picture of this. PINK!

Happy weekend! With Your Coffee returns after a few fun, whirlwind weekends (family visiting, visiting family, a birthday party, a wedding and all good things). How is your June so far? Sunny? I hope you have a fun weekend in the good weather, and mostly outside. For a few quiet moments while you sip your morning coffee or your afternoon iced coffee, here are a few links I thought you’d enjoy. Cheers!

• The Unappreciated Architecture of Waffle House. All those late nights in college eating waffles? Totally counts as field research. Right?

• The locks from Paris bridges are being removed because the weight and rust are ruining them.

• Once Upon a Building and Once Upon a Building, Updated. The artist of this beautiful mural is Mary Lacy.

• Looking for a preservation job in Vermont? Revitalizing Waterbury is hiring.

• Raina’s photographs are always beautiful.

• We seem to have a severe gap in pay and rent in this country. Could you afford to live in your city if you made minimum wage? Probably not.

• I love looking through Dwell. Whether it’s a house made of shipping containers or a historic rehabilitation, I want to live in most of the featured homes. Check out this NYC home (it’s historic).

• More on parklets. How about using them for transit stops?

Have a great weekend!
