Here’s a treat for all those who have been moaning about the steady loss of design criticism and reporting in mainstream newspapers. The finalists’ schemes for the competition to redesign three sites on the National Mall are being shown to the public for the first time. The Washington Post has a story, sort of. It’s by the Associated Press, and its most helpful observation might just be that “Proposals in the competition are varied.” If you want to see who actually did what, go to the web site of the competition’s sponsor, the Trust for the National Mall.

More peeks behind the curtain: Stalwart Managing Editor @mzacko reviews the color proofs for the February issue. If you’ve ever wondered how much lag time there was between shipping an issue and it’s publication date, the answer this month is about 21 days. By the time February hits the mailboxes, we’ll have produced the entire next issue and be prepping it for the printer.It’s not just the support of the ASLA membership that keeps us going during deadline week.The November issue is out! This month's cover strikes an elegiac note. Shot at the end of September in Washington, DC, @saharchphoto captures the lure of the urban riverfront at the end of a long summer season for a feature by senior editor @jenniferxjennifer. For decades, the Anacostia River has been the city's biggest scar, reflecting back years of pollution, racism, and neglect. Now poised to become a high dollar urban amenity, thanks in no small part to tireless environmental activism and the vision of the city's water utility, will the river still belong to everyone? Elsewhere in the issue, an unsentimental remembrance of Richard Haag, designing a park for a pan-Asian neighborhood in Seattle, the 2018 Rosa Barba Prize winner in Iceland, and a threat to a beloved baseball bat from the emerald ash borer. We cover both coasts with plenty in between this month. Follow the link for the full contents and single issue ordering: http://bit.ly/NOV18LAMThe December issue is coming together.... Art director Chris McGee and managing editor Maggie Zackowitz review layouts for the feature well with editor Brad McKee.LIKE LAM ON FACEBOOK
