I only just recently learned the name of this structure from an urban exploration channel on Youtube: the Petrova Gora monument.



There apparently isn't much to the building in person; it's an empty tower that was originally a monument to Croatia's resistance against the Nazis (?). It just looks cool; like a real life version of a structure you'd build in Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2.

This is an extremely problematic monument

If you want some more fun Pittsburgh stuff, look no further than the Westinghouse Atom Smasher, which is just sitting in some grass behind some houses

Longwood garden is amazing.

Longwood Gardens is one of America's wonders, it's lovely that it isn't better known. It's incredibly touristy but it could be way worse.

Union station in LA is actually quite nice, oddly enough.



Why is it so tiny?

Lol wow I think it is. That's embarrassing. The real thing is just as cool.

Then what about the incessant heartbeat under my floorboards?

Noise. Cancelling. Headphones.

Every idealized and interesting living space humans have ever built eventually breaks down from the strain of humans living in it and the fact that humans are lazy and don't maintain everything. The best space for people to live in is a nicely built three bedroom ranch style house, one story, that can be cheaply and easily maintained and also cheaply and easily added on to as needed. That's the true organic space.

They're not especially common in towns built after the widescale adoption of natural gas or electricity because they were more necessary when they had to produce the gas from coal and store it locally. Nowadays you generally put the giant tank of gas somewhere else and pipe it in under pressure.

We've got at least two gasometers in Philadelphia, one from 1856. It's just too much work to demolish or something
