I was lucky to have a few professors who understood that the building we studied in was pretty awful and that there was much to be learned from history.

I am not a big fan of cartoon buildings-they are to Architecture what Weird Al is to music.

Great stuff, guys and gals. That is not the Night Train talking, either. Thank you very much, JE. :wink: :lol:

Come on out, get your kicks on route 66 and stay at the Wigwam Motel.

This was just a short distance from my house-and is completely landlocked . It was a seafood restaurant that became a private house until it was tirn down in 2007 to make way for the usual chiboard and vinyl McHome.
