nora 🥥: Even things like the municipal docks here in philly have beautiful old art deco style buildings

this is the entrance to a public elementary school built over 100 years ago - no one is spending money on this kind of quality work anymore, especially not on public infrastructure (where this kind of thing is more important than people might think)

I work at a number of schools built in the 1920s and the level of craftsmanship is astounding. They were built to LAST - and they look beautiful.

Yeah. Really was different when the country saw public works and institutions as a common good. Around here even some of the POs are in these grand old buildings with soaring ceilings and not some lobby in a sad strip mall
