The things people did in the 1950's-1980's with cities still boggles my mind
Lets tear down old buildings and put up modernist abominations!!!!
Forget this old classical train station lets give it an 8 foot ceiling and Laminate Floor!!
Lets build roads on all of our waterfronts and fill our rivers in with concrete!!!!
Lets put on tight brown corduroy pants, flower orange shirts, and have mustaches with long unkempt hair!
It was like everyone lost their minds
