so let's talk about college campuses and how they don't seem to demo old buildings when they decide to put up new ones.

there's a nice library. it's tall. so tall in fact, that it's the second tallest school library in the world. it looks real nice lit up from the inside at night.



lived in this my freshman year. the elevators were terrifyingly bad.

that said, brutalism owns and it was a hilariously fun time living in that tower. i typed many lovely papers in the top skybridge.

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?

do you live in the midwest? than probably yeah, they are dying.

do you live in a prosperous upper-middle-upper class area? then they are doing great.
