i was talking to a friend of mine last nite, who had friends in levitttown, and it would be great, to talk to people who lived in utopian architechture, from like 1953 to 1967, now.

I was shocked that people still live in Sadife's cubes, and I wonder what its like?

I would love to live in a BF dome.

Blake Gopnik claimed that his family moved from the U.S. specifically to Montreal to live in the Habitat apartments. (from a 1972 article in Time). He wrote about living there as a kid (they loved it), but I can't find the article on line.

I've watched the three silent home movies several times. They are just gorgeous.

expo67 was the peak of western civilization, as far as I'm concerned. If the future had continued to look like that, I'd be a lot happier than I am. Von Bark and I went up into the burned out ruins of the american pavillion, before they turned it into an over-priced eco-whatever. If we can't have the future they promised, at least they could have left us some nice ruins.

Hi Rob. What's the L.O.L. equivalent for feeling-choked-up?
