also what i call the a favela azul (the blue favela), which is a favela almost entirely painted in light blue. it's on a hill fairly near the centre (i've worked out it must be between estacio and santo cristo) and has a big church (in brilliant white) in the centre. it looks amazing from the bus. i want to find out more about it, but i can't find any pictures and every caricoa i've mentioned it to doesn't seem to have any idea what i'm talking about."The Christian way has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found to be hard and left untried" - GK Chesterton.

The best you could say is that the Awakening no longer became a landmark. Or that it gives out faulty directions nowadays.Originally posted by Cort Haus View Post
The Awakening defined Hains Point for several decades, so it rightly should have been called a landmark.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

The Bean (technically, it's named Cloud Gate)... It's by British artist Anish Kapoor.
It's made of stainless steel, is 66 feet long, 33 feet high, and weighs 110 tons. The arch underneath is 12 feet high. And yes, the Chicago Park District employs people to keep it shiny.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

Secondly, you were the one talking about history... you can't get more important historical landmarks anywhere else in this country than Philadelphia."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

Jesus ****ing christ, Alby. I'm in a DC suburb. My dad works downtown. Most of my friend's parents work downtown. When people ask us where we are from, we say, DC. Or Northern Virginia, a suburb of DC.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?
