This is what American cities looked like a century ago (and what happened to them)... 🧵

Huh
I'ma need a bigger bag for the cohort
Tryna make a millionaire out of slum dogs
Bet that, head crack, blunt force
Cozy with the east Africans up north
Where seven make a three, turn a ten by law
Crescent moon wink, when I blinked it was gone
Left the crib, smacked, no sheath on the sword
Made it by the skin of my teeth, thank God
'03, momma rockin' Liz Claiborne
Had her stressin' up the wall playin' Mary J. songs
Rainy day came, couldn't rinse the stains off
Long way to go, we already came far
Story stayed the same, it was never madе up
Threw me loose changе, look at what I made of it
When the mood change, I'ma poker-face 'em
It's a new day, who got all the aces?
Who be foldin' late? Who know when to play dead?
Who sit up straight when the roof caved in?
Had a full plate, you ain't wanna split it
Tell it to you straight, you ain't wanna listen
Cup runneth over the brim
Bust open, there's no closin' the lid
Drumroll, here go my lil' entrance
Gung ho, I'm the one that go get it
Five O's on me like the Olympics
Pure gold, somethin' told me, "Don't mix it"
Caught a feelin', momma had me out Temple
Not religious, we was really out Philly
Livin' on the fly tryna wing it
We got us a fire to rekindle
Redirect the fight where it's meant for
Triumph over plight and immense loss
Ride alone at night, I get clear thoughts
Caught a couple slights and I veered off
Saw another height, had my ears poppin'
Walked outside, it was still gorgeous
Sharp incisors reveal slowly
In the dark inside, we was real hungry
On a seven of the five, we was real hungry
Uh, niggas still drummin'
Foot shook ground when I stepped on it
Didn't look back when I broke soil
'Cause every time I did it would hurt more
In the dark inside, we was real hungry
On a seven of the five, we was real hungry
And I didn't look back when I broke soil
'Cause every time I did it would hurt more
Alright
Yessir, this nigga spittin'

I'm gonna post some buildings designed by the late Argentine architect Alejandro Bustillo
Bristol Complex in Mar del Plata
Central Bank of the Nation in Buenos Aires
Llao Llao Hotel and the church of Our Lady of Nahuel Huapi in Bariloche.
Bustillo was the grandson of the Businessman Eduardo Madero, who was the project manager of Puerto Madero (Madero Port) the main port in Buenos Aires. The old Puerto Madero is now a tourist zone with many restaurants, the Buenos Aires Hilton is located there and if you stay on that zone you can walk a few blocks until Plaza de Mayo and visit the Casa Rosada, no need for a taxi.

You can really see just how rich Argentina was compared to the rest of the world for much of its history here. Very pretty, 🥰

from Buenos Aires, the Palacio Paz which belonged to 19th and early 20th century media Mogul José Paz. The building currently belongs to the "Círculo Militar", a club for Argentine military officers.

Using big buildings to wave your civic peepee around was big in America in the late 1800s, a period when Portland was booming. We had all this old growth timber to chop down and it was really valuable at the time in America, Asia, wherever. So a couple buildings that were made way too good just to show off that Portland was rich:
Union Station
Central Library

Kinda reminds me of one by me. The old Columbus courthouse in 1885. It was probably cool then but they didn't have any air conditioning, fire escapes or anything really. It was basically falling apart before they tore it down in the seventies and built two more in its place. All the utilities are screwed up in these old building and shit just gets old and needs to be modernized. You'd look like a strag building some victorian shit down here nowadays anyway.

Kein Haus, kein Garten = Nichts für mich! Hasse andere Menschen / Nachbarn.
Das zweite Haus sieht aber tbh aus wie ne Fabrikhalle. Nur die Eingangstür ist bisl klein.

That hurt to read. Seeing beautiful structures get demolished after an event sucks. Another example is the Tennessee Centennial Exposition (below), but the city at least kept the Parthenon replica and reconstructed it to be permanent.

Much of the White City was a cheap plaster mix built over wood framing. The buildings were closer to paper mache than anything designed to last. The ones built out of stone did survive, and they became the Art Institute, the MSI, and a few others.
