Continuing Architecture Week on Frill Seeker Diary, I want to pay homage to the works of my other favorite Frank, Frank Gehry, a man who has caused a lot of personal excitement and grief in my life.
Gehry, whose latest design incarnation is supposed to shadow my little Prospect Heights Brooklyn apartment, has a unique way of highlighting whatever area of the city he decides to plant his projects in- and I both yearn for, and fight against, seeing a Gehry stadium in Atlantic Center, Brooklyn.

As a New York City native, I’ve been going to farmers markets for as long as I can remember. Some of my favorite memories include taking a walk with my grandma and her little red wagon and loading up on fruits and veggies, that she would add to the ones she grew in her Brooklyn garden, for our usual Sunday feast.
