Regular reader sent this in the other day. Really cool map of what this neighborhood looked like once upon a time. Compare that view with this - from 1956.
Of course the killer view is this one...from today. Like what happened? Didn't take long, did it?

the automobile culture happened.
ReplyDeleteFascinated by these comparative photos. --Chip
ReplyDeleteI think its more than just an automobile culture.
ReplyDeleteI also think there is a disposible culture that came along with the advent of cheap consumer goods. Its cheaper and/or easier to build/buy new for a comparable item that it is to repair or maintain it. This culture also desires quantitiy over quality.
Unfortunately we have applied it to our houses and neighborhoods too.
