I do not propose to write an ode to dejection, but to brag as lustily as chanticleer in the morning, standing on his roost, if only to wake my neighbors up.

This blog is dedicated to all things urbane, urban, and erudite - not necessarily always about architecture, but skirting around and within the subject in order to perhaps gain some insight into the current state of the field.

My personal editor has refused to provide pro-bono services for such a project - so if what I post totally sucks, it's their fault.  I happen to like my hyphens, inappropriate capitalizations, ellipses, dangling modifiers, run-on sentences, and various other grammatical crimes.
