I see from South Woodward Ave. a new spire going up. If you could look around to the side of this construction you’d see that it spans a dozen or so football fields. I mean this is going to be big. HUGE.

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010Fresh Cuts of Faux
Saturday, June 5th, 2010Downtown carnival with a new prize offering: fresh hanging cuts of fury faux lions and tigers. Like fuzzy sides of meat in a butcher’s playland. Or something like that. (Shhh…they’re sleeping…)
Non-Rangefinder Break
Monday, May 17th, 2010Like many snap addicts across the land, I have been living with a condition known as Hipstamatic. I hear it will naturally run its course and leave the system in weeks.
