Tripalink. There’s no need for me to go on about who they are and what they do; I have already written a bit about them here.

    Thirty Posts—Now What?

    Thirty posts in thirty days: done. The destruction of Los Angeles's architectural heritage continues, of course. Nathan will too — just at a pace that allows him to finish his next book.
