From Kottke comes this long piece from New York magazine about New York's development over the last 25 years, jam-packed with before and after photos. I'm not a Modernist kind of guy, as many of you know, but I love the color work on the studios at 229 West 42nd Street by Platt Byard Dovell White, which shows up early in the piece. (And, hey, like almost all New York buildings, it conforms to David Sucher's Three Rules of Urban Design [note: .PDF file])

Next, from John Massengale, we have a slideshow from Slate about Wasilla, Alaska. Notice particularly the Truth In Advertising moment when you see the name of the construction equipment company that goes by.
