Sheets are an affectation of the bourgeoisie.

Most of 'em are still around too, primarily because it'd be a colossal pain in the rear end to remove that much concrete.

Now imagine that room with the same kind of blank white tile on everything.

It'd probably look cool as all hell. Esp. if everything was a slightly different shade of off-white. Someday I want to see Hagia Sophia in person; only reason I'd ever fly out to Istanbul.

Real actual bats? What did they do with the bat poo poo everywhere?

I hear it drove them batshit, trying to clean all the bat poo poo.

JFK's terminal 5 has an awesome view of this terminal. Once a year (every 5 years? something ridiculous, anyway) they open it to the public. Someday I hope to see the inside.

Regarding 1950s-60s architecture chat: atomic ranch homes are awesome. Nothing makes me sadder than when some idiot takes one of these beauties and "updates" it with modern kitchen cabinets, bathroom tile, whatever--it just looks WRONG. It is my dream to own one of these and restore it to its former metal-cabinet, pink-tiled-bathroom glory.

Googie architecture was pretty fuckin' fun too.

Loz Feliz right (unless you didn't take this). I love coming across random googie stuff in socal

I didn't take it, just found it after a google image search for Googie. Growing up in LA in the '90s you saw this stuff all over the drat place, in various states of repair. The area between LA and Vegas is a desert filled with Googie bones, too.

I want to know what the sound of it falling off was. Peeling velcro?

I've had to tear some vines off a building before, and rustling leaves basically covered up the sound. Infestation wasn't as severe as that one, though.

All I can see is this:



That building was clearly something before the Scientologists bought it, but I can't figure out the right search terms to find out. Anyone have an idea?

I like big juts and I can not lie
You other realtors can't deny
That when a house goes up with a ton of wasted space
And a faux-dormer thing in your face
You get 25-percent down!

Not so much a failure as nouveau-bland design and colour taking over. (Guess what colour the entire interior is)

Is this in Idaho? Looks eerily similar to my sister's house.

This trips me out a little since I live within driving distance of two pretty healthy malls. Are they really on the way out in general?
