Popeye Power Greens

When we have this jar of vegetable goodness at the project office, we always get the "what in the world is that" look.  Some ask and we tell them it is a salad in a glass; spinach, ginger, garlic, cucumbers and a medley of apples.  We have convinced a few of the guys to taste it and much to their surprise they like it.  Others have taken a further step to exercise and shed pounds.

Famous Arena Extreme Makeover

Madison Square Garden, home of the New York Knicks, is getting a complete top to bottom renovation.  We planned a new stadium for the Atlanta Braves as part of a team of Olympic Games designers.  http://www.slamonline.com/online/news-rumors/other-news/2013/10/inside-madison-square-gardens-construction-photos/#1

Just Beneath Your Feet

These brave souls are working nine stories underneath the streets of Manhattan.  This project is similar to the work we did with a team to expand rail system routes and build stations to go with them. For more photographs http://photoblog.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/06/18/19012073-photographer-documents-subway-construction-nine-stories-below-manhattan
