Greenspace is nice, but my vision for the BFP is Las Ramblas in Barcelona.

Fill in the center lanes and create a vibe with cafes, shops, street performers etc. It all terminates at the Art Museum with a killer pedestrian walkway over the traffic.

Las Ramblas

Instead of buildings flanking the edges, we’d have trees straight down. It would be such a cool look. I know it’ll never happen.

I’m here for it. Add a couple tall apartment buildings to the left. And then make the remaining Parkway an actual boulevard with street commercial. The entire area would become much more livable.

This is GOOD now that's how it should look it would transform the whole area. In the future from the museum all the way to Broad st when It is capped should be full park & Vendors, farmers market, hot dog stands, food trucks, benches, night life and more it would turn a dead zone into a full alll the time zone.

Having walked Las Ramblas in Barcelona, that would be an EXCELLENT idea I could get behind

Switch so Sony and get a Tamron lens, Im currently using a 28-200 Tamron & A Sony A7III

I was using a Nikon D3500 I think 2 years ago and I was stuck on Nikon until I used the Sony it will blow you away and it's gonna be a top competitor for the next 10 years even with all the new cameras out.

4k Video which is a plus and opens up your opportunities and ISO that can handle the night better without getting grainy.

Your photos are A1 as well btw I just want you to know and grow.

I've been using the same body since August 2017, who knows when I'll upgrade. And I appreciate your comments! Your shots are lovely as well!

Of course man we all gotta start somewhere, Idk if you know about the site MPB.COM but its a site where you can sell, trade and buy cameras lenses and etc. so you could trade your current gear in to offset the price and go from there


Anyways back to SSP

Any thoughts on how long the entire Parkway redesign process will take? It is a mess to walk around and cross roads around the Art Museum.

I couldn't find the threads for some of these I know some may have got downgraded but I swore the Delaware ave projects had one.

I think we need to keep threads or make threads for projects at a certain size compared to "height" Size in width can equal the same as a 15 story project.
