  • Here’s Looking at You Paris: Plus a Rant About the U.S.

    Podcast Transcript Paris Walking 3

    I didn’t mean to, but I couldn’t help it. While finishing up our walk around the block in the beautiful streets of Paris, I start ranting about how miserable life is in North America. It wasn’t planned, it just happened. Well, I guess I can speak about lovely Paris here and just hope that some of you read it. If you are wondering, the building that I refer to in this episode is the Val-de-Grâce School. Which of course was a Church and then a Military Hospital and currently a museum, hospital, and school specializing in medical research. The hospital located there is famous for treating most of the French Republic’s top officials and anyone covered under the French social security system. It is a historic building considered by many to be the finest example of French baroque architecture in all of Paris. Of course it is. Meanwhile, I’m stuck looking at our latest architectural atrocity currently occupied by an AT&T outlet. Ohh…Ahh…I like blue light because I’m an American.

  • Urbanist Snark: Brussels Journal

    Please Join me as I recount my experiences visiting Brussels, Belgium. From my snarky, urbanist perspective I found that Brussels was a haven for convenience, efficiency, and style. There was a little something for everyone and the urban landscape and fabric was rich with options. Especially third spaces including: music venues, gastropubs, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, bakeries, meat markets, seafood markets, fruit stands, and plazas. There was a metro station in every direction with access to both above ground street cars and light rail, but also below grade subways. Not only that but there was ample biking and walking infrastructure that made getting around the city a breeze. I stayed in Saint Gilles which is a neighborhood South of downtown and rich with culture, architecture, and history. Don’t forget that the Belgian’s invented beer, so there is plenty of it, along with chocolate, everywhere you go. Making Brussels an urbanist paradise on Earth.

    Welcome. In this episode we are going to discuss how urbanism in North America, specifically Denver, is miserable, and how we can learn from places like Amsterdam in order to improve our lives. Specifically, I discuss how riding your bike is far better than driving your car. Even when you have to go long distances. Like my trip to the outlet mall in Amsterdam. Join me.
