Urban Renewal
I saw this building near work being demolished near the intersection of Gough and Market and it reminded me of the urban renewal projects back in the 1970s. It was a dash of nostalgia along with a little bit of hope and apprehension for the future. In this pic, old buildings are being ripped down, and in their place there is going to be a set of condos. When I saw the condos for sale sign, I also wondered about affordable housing for people who wouldn't be able to afford these new condos.

Wasn't there a Tower of Power album called "Urban Renewal"? Your picture reminds of the album cover picture. Nice shot.
This is another interesting theme that we should cover in more depth someday.

By the way, I want to you that you should size your uploaded pictures to be max: 750 to 800 pixels on the long side. I think this one is smaller than that. On the other hand, the Kirkham cat shot is 1048 or so on the long side, which is a tad too big.

You're right. I was thinking about the size of the photo after I posted it. I thought I posted it as large. I guess not. I should use the preview button more often.
And yes, there was a Tower of Power album called Urban Renewal.
Hi Eric,
The photo upload size selection only refers to the size of the thumbnail on the post. I was referring to the size of the original picture that you are uploading. To set the size of the original, you need to do it in your photo editing program.
I usually use "Large" for the thumbnail size in the blogger post, and my original pictures are sized in Photoshop to either 750 pixels or 800 pixels on the long side.
