December 14, 2009 By 1 Comment
I've seen this video twice over the weekend and it still creeps me out a little. You can see the movement on the bridge each time the subway passes through.

Checking up on Swatow: Chinatown’s Newest Development
December 7, 2009 By 1 Comment
Photo: Deya Bautista We were due to give you an update on the latest (and best looking) chinatown construction. So, here you have it: The all new and completely finished Swatow Plaza. Looking sharp, looking proud. It even looks sexy, if that can be possible for a building. There is only one tenant moved in, and so far it looks like the rest of the building is pretty much empty. Not sure what … [Read more...]
