As an American I'm just assuming that road was moved to be widened and a bunch of low income housing and many blocks worth of historic buildings were demolished in the process.
Mildly Interesting
This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.
Low income housing is a far better use of space than preserving "historic" buildings that are actually just out of code, poorly designed, and slowly decaying old houses that never actually had any historical significance.
The needs of people who are alive and struggling today are infinitely more important than your nostalgia for the homes of dead rich cunts.
Portland, Oregon did it first. And they just got rid of the freeway instead of burying it.
My hometown. Looks better than the old photos ;) Come visit us!
I totally puked a litre of concentrated grape juice in that hot park in 1999.
Guess whose German wasn’t nearly as awesome as they thought it was…
The before reminds me of Portland. The waterfront is wasted with i5 and roads running through it.
Always love more greenery .
Where are the roads? There could easily be a 15 lane highway right there!
Seattle did the same thing. So much better.
Scheinbar passiert doch etwas in unseren Städten. 😊
I can’t wait to see Seattle’s viaduct on here when the full parks, sidewalks, and bike lanes get finished!
This is encouraging!
