Praise Crosscut! We have an architectural critic in 'print' again. Thanks for this insightful piece. It saves me at least one trip across the lake! I look forward to many more wonderful opinions from Mr. Cheek.

Poor Joe! He's served so many mayors well and unobtrusively. Bodyguard though he be, he been a very personable link across the years from mayor to mayor.
