DC City Hall Tells Supreme Court: F.U.
2008-07-17 17:22:00 Now, my friends… when the liberals violate the law as they are so wont to do (illegal immigration, sanctuary cities, election fraud, ROTC in schools, etc., etc., etc., etc.)… why the hell doesn’t the Executive Branch (the one that ENFORCES the law) step in and do something about it. In this case, the DC city government ...

San Francisco City Hall, San Francisco
2008-06-10 09:40:00 The City Hall of San Francisco, California, opened in 1915, in its open space area in the city’s Civic Center, is a Beaux-Arts monument to the brief “City Beautiful” movement that epitomized the high-minded American Renaissance of the period 1880-1917. The present building is actually a replacement for an earlier City Hall that was completely destroyed during the 1906 Earthquake. The architect was Arthur Brown Jr, whose attention to the finishing details extended to the doorknobs and the typeface to be used in signage. Brown also designed San Francisco’s War Memorial Opera House, Veterans Building, Temple Emanuel, Coit Tower and the Federal office building at 50 United Nations Plaza. Interesting historical tourist spot. GPS tourist coordinates: 37° 46′ 45.08″ N, 122° 25′ 8.9″ W

In Oslo, Norway, Day 2.5 (AKA: OMG BACKPOSTAGE BECAUSE I WAS LAZY)
2007-11-10 14:47:00 So I went to a museum in the fort that was on Norway's resistance when they were taken over by Germany. The most striking thing about it? A wall of guns. I don't know why it was there (the explanation was in Norwegian) but when I saw it I thought of a certain someone who would appreciate it.*coughMichaelcough*It was kinda scary to behold.After the Museum, I went across the street to the City hall. I really liked the statue out front... The Swans are so pretty, and in a strange way, romantic.At least I think so. I think I'm going to play with this picture ot see if I can get rid of the buildings, so you just see the swans against the blue sky.The inside of city hall. It was actually kinda funky decor, but I liked it. Very impressive in the way that you could kinda tell they wanted to intimidate you. I think I accidentally snuck in, there wasn't a person at the desk so I just walked in and followed behind a tour. I think I went to some places I wasn't supposed to go, bu...

My Field Trip to City Hall, Video Version, Part 3
2007-10-26 23:40:00 So now we go to the Gold room, which was created by a young artist. He wasn't really that famous before he did the Gold room, and in Sweden he wasn't very famous afterward either. This is because the old artist who was going to do the room died before he could start. The new guy was found, and he was very promising... but he first estimated that the room could be done in seven years, only to be told he had two years to do the work. So there's a few mistakes. Like St. George the Dragonslayer's head is chopped off.Now, the Gold room is rather controversial because the artist did it in a style not typically thought of as "Swedish" Or even classical, in keeping with the rest of the building. Rather, this room is rather foreign in flavor, more in keeping with Roman or some other mosaics. However, all the motifs are Swedish.The best thing about this room though is the woman who dominates the artwork. She's susposed to the the spirit of the lake that joins up with the sea (Wher...
My Field Trip to City Hall, Video Version, Part 2
2007-10-26 21:34:00 This is the room where congress meets. The dais is there not because of any sense of grandeur (heaven forbid Swedes raise someone up higher than all the others and perhaps imply that he or she is better than all the others) but because of acoustics... because the room is so high. The beams. Originally the beams were supposed to be covered, but the architect decided he liked the effect, so he left the concrete beams in, covered them with wood, and had them painted. The motifs in the "sky" are supposed to invoke the Vikings, who held their meetings under overturned boats in the winter. Apparently the Vikings made very quick decisions because nobody wanted to be out in the cold that long, and this was the architect's way of trying to tell the governing body to keep things brisk and efficient here. To one of the sides there is seating for people to watch. What's funny is often the members of the council will bring their children with them for their meetings, because most of ...
My Field Trip to the City Hall
2007-10-26 20:37:00 So today the whole of the Swedish Program got up really early to go see Stockholm's City Hall- the place where the Nobel Prizes are awarded. It's coming up soon, and already people are starting to get excited and talk about it. This first video is of the courtyard. The City Hall is actually only just over 80 years old, even though it looks older. They made it to look and fit in with the other historical buildings in the city. And while they succeeded in some areas, they did not in others (some of the rooms are quite modern looking, or quite... other country looking. You'll see what I mean, later)*EDIT: MY ORIGONAL POST HAD THE "COURTYARD" AS MY DINNER FROM LAST NIGHT. IT HAS BEEN CHANGED. MY APOLOGIES. I hope you have been amused.This is of the view of Gamla Stan and the sorrounding area that can be seen from the City Hall.

Seoul City Hall: Always Something To See
2007-08-05 09:32:00 One of my favorite places to check out in Seoul is the area around City Hall. There is always something interesting to see or something interesting going on. Prior to meeting Gi-Young (sorry for spelling your name wrong!) for lunch at The Place, we met up at the City Hall subway station.Children playing in the public water fountain area:The City Hall station can be accessed by either Line 2 (the green line) or Line 1 (dark blue). If you want to come out of the exit right in front of City Hall, you?ll have to walk to the exits near Line 1. Anyways, while we were waiting we noticed that there was a huge mosaic next to City Hall. There was construction going on (can somebody fill me in on what?s there right now?) and the outside of the perimeter mall was a cool mosaic of Seoul.The mosaic featured the main attractions of Seoul, such as Seoul Tower, Namdaemun, Cheonggyecheon, City Hall, the National Assembly, and the 63 Building to name a few. It was part of Hi Seoul?s ?Soul of Asia? cam...

2007-04-25 10:10:00 TORONTO/AM 640 TORONTO - Toronto taxi drivers and airport limo drivers are refusing to leave council chambers at City Hall this morning. They're protesting an ongoing licencing snag dictating where they can make pickups.

Stockholm?s City Hall
2007-03-28 03:17:00 Stockholm?s Stadshuset (City Hall) is a massive architectural feat. The first time I saw the Stadshuset, I was standing on the Gamlastan (Old Town) looking at the hall?s massive tower. The Stadshuset dominates the edge of the island of Kungsholmen (King?s Island) and is an excellent tourist destination for anyone interested in architecture on a grand scale. The three most famous spaces within the Stadshuset are the appropriately named Golden Room and the less-obviously named The Gallery of the Prince and the Blue Hall. The artist Einar Forseth?s Golden Hall is covered with mosaics composed of millions of gold-leaf and glass. The Gallery of the Prince is a lengthy reception hall dominated by a row of pillars in front of a beautiful mosaic by Prince Eugen. The Blue Hall, however, is the sight to see in the Stadshuset for it is here on December 10th that the Nobel Prize ceremony is held. The Blue Hall is the largest space in the Stadshuset and also holds an impressive pipe organ. Daily...

City Hall For Sale?
2006-12-13 06:05:00 At a Chamber of Commerce breakfast this morning Boston Mayor Thomas Menino proposed selling City Hall to developers for what he believes could be up to $300 million. This bothers me. I like Mayor Menino. He has done a great job and is on the right side of about every issue I care about, but I also happen to like City Hall. I know I am probably alone on this, but I think Boston City Hall is a beautiful building. I love it's late 60's architecture, and think it adds depth and contrast to the downtown area. I will concede that the barren brick-covered desert that surrounds it is ugly, but I think the building itself is amazing. Call me crazy. "This sale will open up prime real estate for facilities and open space that will galvanize the vitality of our downtown and strengthen Boston's future," Menino said before calling the building inefficient and pointing out that it needs repairs. I hope he changes his mind. More here.
