This water treatment plant was built in 1926, and definitely evinces an aesthetic awareness rarely found in more recently-built public structures. It's won recognition from the city for "urban environmental design," is nationally recognized as a "water landmark site" by the American Water Works Association, treats 20 million gallons of water a day... and is only a few blocks away from my house. http://ci.ftlaud.fl.us/public_services/peeledixie/landmark.htm]]> Buzznet bone 2004-03-10T16:27:29Z bone http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users/bone/default/thumb-msg-49304-2.jpg http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users/bone/default/synd-msg-49304-2.jpg http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users/bone/default/mob-msg-49304-2.jpg http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users/bone/default/gallery-msg-49304-2.jpg http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users/bone/default/large-msg-49304-2.jpg http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users/bone/default/feat-msg-49304-2.jpg 0 0 http://bone.buzznet.com/user/photos/?id=111947

This huge sign, proclaiming a run-down strip mall on the corner of Davie Boulevard and 27th Avenue (aka Riverland Road) has a "50s-kitsch" look that I've always found appealing.

This book sat on my mom's bookshelf for years. I took it back to Florida at one point after she died, but was never interested in its pedigree. I found out today that it's a first edition.
