well, the 150 or so years here is really like no-more-than-25-or-so years of "character," as nearly EVERYTHING here meets its fate with a bulldozer and wrecking ball before the pipes ever need to be reworked. There is a lot of artificial "character" here... which i find--as a designer--totally repellent. The mod stuff however, that i love, but it is all designed to coexist with the "character."
In many ways, Atlanta is a textbook example of how far wrong architecture and the built environment can go.
What a fun[ny] photo of you. I hope to see more funny photos! Yes!
ReplyDeleteHave a fantastic time with Steven and your colleagues. It's beautiful outside!
All I can say is that if this is a representative view of Atlanta I think I'll stay right here in pretty Providence.
ReplyDeleteThat's the thing, Providence has almost 400 years of character to it. Atlanta - 150 years or so.
