I love architecture. When I travel I always dedicate a large amount of time to check out the local spots looking for different type of interesting features and influences in the design of local buildings.

I can relate to George Costanza in that I always wanted be an architect. Unlike George I found other gainful employment. One type of architecture I enjoy is Art Deco.



The building above used to be the Wiltern theater in Los Angeles, California. I spent many a Saturday in the 70's in that place checking triple feature Martial Arts movies. Five Fingers of Death, Lady Kung-Fu, and the Chinese Connection was full of win! All the while in this beautiful ediface.



Another L.A. landmark and a fine example of the Art Deco style is Bullocks Wilshire. It is actually right down street from the Wiltern and was the place my Dad purchased my first big boy three piece suit...oh yeah I was sharp!



As a teenager I had a job as an usher in the Pantages Theater. While unassuming on the exterior the interior is magnificent.











Finally here is a more ornate and stylized Art Deco example.





Grauman's Chinese Theatre. I saw the premier of Enter the Dragon and Star Wars there. Good times...Great architecture.

This is the shuttle you are looking for

I am a sucker for good poster art. If you are as well check out the great work of Steve Thomas. You can't loose with great art and Star Wars themes. The force is strong with this one.

Simple Question

What... is the Airspeed Velocity of an Unladen Swallow? What does that have to do with anything? Nothing really...and that is the purpose of this blog. It's the blog about nothing really but you have to know these things when you are King you know.
