i get rambunctious abt architecture
#the sort of secondary downtown in the town i grew up was all these really charming little brick buildings and there was a ben franklin and#a donut shop that exploded (dw abt it) and really classic signage and the unitarian church which is a really lovely romanesuqe building#from 1890. it's one of the topographically lower points in the area and what should happen a few years back but these giant towering luxury#condos coming up at the highest point in the area. its like a church r smth idk but its fucking hideous in that sort of 80s-pomo-modern#farmhouse way and there arent apartment keys you have to use an app which makes me sick. oh also the library was rebuilt in 1965 and is#this adorable little building which is decidedly midcentury inside but not in the cool way you're thinking but it's PRETTY. there's an#ornamental book on the face of it and a wrought iron gate and it's really cozy. but the wiring is janky and instead of just fixing it they#are gonna knock it down and rebuild it to be one of those hideous glass walled monstrosities that have taken over any public space. see#also how they knocked down the high school which was built in the late sixties after the original burned down and replaced it with this#torture chamber. no character at all just sterile blue furniture white walls and light gray tile. it is cold and soulless and so big it#makes me sick. its also almost entirely open concept. but it USED to be this fantastic 1970 ish brick building w brick walls and multicolor#tile and lockers and a gym with wood panelling and murals of the beatles and calvin and hobbes#anyway rant over but the world is turning to shit
