I screwed up my post, basically any past 1900, I'm unlikely to like art and architecture.Poohbah wrote: ↑Wed Jan 25, 2023 1:57 pmOddly enough, the old Aztec Center was . . .

Sand-colored concrete, graceful arches and covered walkways that called to mind the San Diego Mission, the student lounge was glass-walled and very spacious . . . It fit the site. It didn't overwhelm, it was big enough for a 30,000-student campus, but not too big.
The new building completely blocks your view of Mission Valley if you're below the sixth floor of the dorm towers, and it's a big ugly wart if you're above that.
Does Doc survive the reunion immediately after publication?
Good question. I was thinking he did it under a pen name and changed the names to protect himself.clancyphile wrote: ↑Wed Jan 25, 2023 3:32 pmDoes Doc survive the reunion immediately after publication?
Penthouse was in Manhattan. They went with the Manhattan NDB initiation... Along with a bloody good Sci-Fi magazine called Omni. The same fella (Bob Guccoine) owned and published both.

If it's like Houston, TX, shut down the freeways due to all the overpasses, tell everyone to stay home, and the TV news saying it's the end times.Matryoshka wrote: ↑Fri Feb 24, 2023 4:30 am OOC: I have to confess to a certain morbid curiosity myself.

Part of the problem is that we don’t get snow, we get ice, and I defy anyone to try driving on a sheet of solid ice!jemhouston wrote: ↑Fri Feb 24, 2023 11:10 amIf it's like Houston, TX, shut down the freeways due to all the overpasses, tell everyone to stay home, and the TV news saying it's the end times.Matryoshka wrote: ↑Fri Feb 24, 2023 4:30 am OOC: I have to confess to a certain morbid curiosity myself.

Back in the early 80s, while I was still living in Cedar Rapids, I drove back from home one Sunday. It was just after sunset, and the I-380 suddenly got icy. I did a 360 into the ditch along with a half dozen other cars.Wolfman wrote: ↑Fri Feb 24, 2023 3:06 pmPart of the problem is that we don’t get snow, we get ice, and I defy anyone to try driving on a sheet of solid ice!jemhouston wrote: ↑Fri Feb 24, 2023 11:10 amIf it's like Houston, TX, shut down the freeways due to all the overpasses, tell everyone to stay home, and the TV news saying it's the end times.Matryoshka wrote: ↑Fri Feb 24, 2023 4:30 am OOC: I have to confess to a certain morbid curiosity myself.
