If you were blindfolded and dropped into the middle of this scene, you'd have no idea if you were in Waco, Texas or Arma, Kansas. I think it's kinda scary.
Seriously, Rene? You would like to see this? Since you are an architect, I would love to hear your opinion of suburban, USA. My opinion is that these chain stores and restaraunts and fastfood places have taken all of the creativity out of our man made environment. In my opinion, it is dissapointing to see these small regions and cultures that have lost their individuality. I could go on and on about this, but I'll stop now.
I would not say it about Brooklyn or Manhattan. Its like you travel in different countries, different cultures, and its mixes and mingles. Even in architecture. But in Russia was the same in 60-70-80, they built the same boxes.
Well, it's how europeans see the States anyway. Whether in Waco or Arma, I'd love to be able to see it in reality.
