You gotta love the cabbage as well as the avocado, and of course the king of all fruits, the mango.  The glorious mango.  I was a little shocked to see celery scoring so poorly.  Celery looks so harmless.  Who knew it was the benedict arnold of vegetables.  So boring, so benign, when in fact, a killer.

Check out this new project that my friend Nick Bastis completed.

Much of Chicago is mired in vacant lots and foreclosures. Bastis uses a 1:1 replica of a Frank Gehry building to test the idea of destination architecture as a means of cultural and economic rejuvenation for blighted cities.
