Architecture Abroad: Casco Viejo

Feeling the warm breeze while sipping on an oh-so-cold-and-delicious pint of Balboa beer outside in Plaza Bolivar inspires a singular thought: Life Is Good.

I’ve had the pleasure of being friends with Jamie ‘Janx’ Johnston since we were teenagers. We both attended Ecole DeLaSalle, the French art high school back in Ottawa. Aside from the countless hours spent kicking around the ol’ hacky sack and wandering around quasi-aimlessly & discombobulated through the streets of Lowertown, our young lives had … Continue Reading
