How,why when and where of , buildings that honor our existence and those that facilitate the industry of helplessness. Of place and of nowhere? Buildings are telling the naked story of brutal exceptionalism.

Holding On For Dear Life
On An Alley, Near A "Free"way <><>
The fingernails are bloody, but someone still lives here. You can tell by the relatively well maintained car parked on the other side, and the window air conditioning unit.
The gravel lawn, with a few weeds standing guard, only lends to the charm. (Xeriscaping) It fits into it's surroundings. Two gravel parking lots, an auto shop, a car wash, the freeway connector.
I salute this shack, trying it's best to hold on in the face of automobile tyranny.

Turd Polishing
This is an Eighties, semi brutalitarian structure, having a wash. I told Dwayne Carver, who was sitting in his convertible in front of the RecordHut, where I work. We were also fascinated by this insurance company come on vehicle, a roving billboard of hands trying to convince gullible kids to waive their student insurance fees. We were thinking that some art major got paid a pittance to come up with that idea, then we realized it was probably stolen from an intern with a fixation on the Bob Fosse film "All That Jazz."
