New York’s Tappan Zee Bridge is scheduled for demolition, but some want to convert it into a park.
In the mid-1990s, LEED-accredited architect and designer of Rainforest Caf? restaurants (!) Dave Solner and his wife, Chip, purchased a heavily wooded five-acre lot in Apple Valley, Minn. with grand plans to eventually tear down the property’s modestly sized ranch house and start anew. Well, 10-odd years later the couple had still never quite got around to it (blame having kids).
