October 17, 2015 by David T. Allen

How does a community celebrate a bridge’s impending implosion?

In Greenfield, they throw a party.

Japan Day 1: Flight to Osaka
It is with great pleasure that I am returning to Japan, this time with Leslie. It has been five years since I lived in Sapporo, Hokkaido, but looking back is like watching a movie of someone else’s experiences now. I might even have a hard time believing I had ever lived in Japan, if it weren’t for recently seeing my old friend, Tomohiro Suenaga, when he came to visit Pittsburgh and we travelled together to New York City.
