At the Beach...

After attending the Monai presentation, Eric really wanted to be someplace tropical. So, he closed his eyes and clicked is ruby red loafers together and said "there's no place like the Bahamas, there's no place like the Bahamas, there's no place like the Bahamas"...and when his eyes opened he was magically in the Bahamas.-Brian and J...

Urban Agriculture

If your interested in Urban Gardening or just Gardening in general then check out this event at the AIA office downtown. I happen to live next to the Fremont Community Garden. It is incredibly successful and is always full of urban dwellers growing vegetables, flowers and playing the occasional game of Bocce Ball.-Br...

Deep Thoughts...

Many of you might remember a skit on SNL called "Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy". A skit in which one man's thoughts about whatever ridiculous thing popped into his head were shared. I recently came across a few publications of his best work and thought I might share some over the next few weeks. Yes, they are rather dumb...and yes, they make no sense but they are funny and guaranteed to make you laugh.“If you saw two guys named Hambone and Flippy, which one would you think liked dolphins most? I'd say Flippy, wouldn't you? You'd be wrong though....

The Music of Second Saturdays

This past Saturday I set out from my midtown abode to explore Second Saturdays Art Walk in Midtown. It's always nice to walk around with thousands of strangers and explore all that Midtown has to offer. What I found interesting this time out was all the live music that seemed to be everywhere. So I thought I would share...This performance was completely impromptu. It was a promotion for an upcoming event at Harlows nightclub entitled 'HAIR - a tribal rock concert'. So if your a hippie or just a fan of the musical then check it out July 16th at...

Exploration Bahama

A nice quiet stroll on the beach such a little explorer Tom is...These are a few images from a recent site visit to a project in the Bahamas. Look for more to come about this new and exciting project. Thanks to Tom and Terry for giving everyone the low down on how great their trip was, how awesome their tans are, and in general making everyone extremely jealous about a week in the tropics. -Brian, Tom, Te...

Hot Italian - Midtown

After over a year of renovation, Hot Italian finally opened to a packed house a few months ago. They serve up some authentic Italian thin crust pizza's and gelato, and of course birra and vino, along with a variety of merchandise, all from Italy. Next time you're downtown, stop by and check it out. If you choose to ride your bike, they have the coolest bike parking in town. Check them out at 16th and Q., across from Fremont Park.-Br...

4th of July Festivities

Good food and some heated Wii competition. Another successful WP lunch time get together. Thanks to everyone who brought, baked, stirred, cooked, and grilled food for the event. To top everything off, and start the 3 day weekend off right...ice cream cones to finish the day....

Let Sleeping Interns Lie

Yes, that is our interiors intern Ashley grabbing a few minutes of shut eye in the library. The best part is that she has no idea the pictures were taken and is seeing these for the first time, like everyone else. So, if you can't find Ashley at her desk, and paging her doesn't work (because she's sleeping)...check the library.-Br...

What Do You Do When The A/C Breaks...?

Eat popsicles of course... Thanks Ci...

Here are a few pages from the latest Nana Wall brochure...featuring the Yocha De Ye Golf Club. -Robert...

No Bag, No Problem

As is typical when you make a retail purchase you usually get a huge bag with the stores logo on it to carry your goods. I was pleasantly surprised that when purchasing this particular pair of shoes that they did not put the box in a bag. They simply attached a small rope handle. One might say this is genius, I say it's common sense...and I also say I wish I would have thought of it!- Br...

Newest WP puppy

She is a black lab, weighs in at 17 pounds and is a complete bundle of energy. We had an interesting weekend of saying “no” to all the rocks in our backyard that she tried to eat, a few accidents in the house and her nipping at the backs of our legs as we played with her. She is a lot of fun and a great addition to the family. - Jeff and ...

Bad Joke of the Week

"I was standing in a park watching some people play frisbee. I thought to myself why is that frisbee getting larger...and then it hit me."-...

It seems like everyone is jumping on W+P's bandwagon and starting blogs. I highly doubt we were the first, but we were one of the first that I know of. HOK, a rather large firm...large enough to have a full time editor of a blog has started posting articles recently. I'd really like to hate this blog as it is the big corporate type but it has a lot of great articles. I guess if we had 2000+ employees in 24 cities on 4 continents we'd have a ton...
