karen...tha...hey kb! I plan to go out growling!<br />---<br />karen...that, getting lost in a housing development, has happened to me many times.<br />My first memory of that was when I was in 2nd grade and got lost in my own neighborhood because so many houses looked the same.<br />Strip malls are the worst blight...I've seen some newer ones built where it makes an attempt to look like a mish-mash of styles on the front, and the parking in the back or underground...Much better!<br />But I'll take old,vintage...and ugly any day. <br />What will I think of old ugly strip malls? Tear Down. just tear them down and make parks and mini-farms!propriatresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16694898527978152332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8408278716063752455.post-38117098147591610552010-11-14T07:23:25.271-08:002010-11-14T07:23:25.271-08:00I totally agree with you.

Cookie cutter homes and strip malls are FAR uglier to my eye than any old building that might sport a mishmash of architectural styles.<br /><br />True story: my parents moved to a new housing development in Denver where all the houses are copies of each other (my mother has differentiated their yard from the others with xeriscaping--she had to fight with the housing covenant people to do so. Ridiculous). I drove out one day to the grocery store, maybe a couple miles away and got so lost trying to find my parents house again I had to call them and have them lead me back to their house. Everything. Looked. The. Same!<br /><br />Quite a story with this bar!Karen/Small Earth Vintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08077078663239991329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8408278716063752455.post-28515292326038742552010-11-13T21:17:54.616-08:002010-11-13T21:17:54.616-08:00grrrrrr...keep on keeping on Yountville Grrrl. :^...grrrrrr...keep on keeping on Yountville Grrrl. :^)kitschbitschnoreply@blogger.com
