Ah, thanks. I can never remember and was too lazy to look it up. LOL!

Your brutalist quote brings back a memory. Decades ago I saw the front page of a gag version of the New York Times dated 1949. From the contents of the front page it was obvious that certain events in world history had not occurred.

The headline was "Lusitania Docks in New York for Royal Visit of King Edward VIII." There was an article titled, "Palestine: the Switzerland of the Middle East." Another was titled, "Fifth Straight Year of Deflation."

But my favorite was, "German Artist Adolf Hitler Dies at Age 60." The article noted that Hitler was the father of the German school of Brutalism and was best known for his illustrations of scenes from Wagner's operas.

Funny what memories a word can bring back.

It’s pretty fussy, but brutalist should have been called brutish. LOL!

Brutalist Architecture was "made popular" by Stalin! LOL! Here's Boston City Hall:

Took all of a couple of seconds to look it up. LOL!
I knew they were in Nov. but didn’t know the peak night this year.

It’s hard to enjoy the winter meteor showers because it’s too cold to stay outside long.

My mother worked at the old city hall-—and then they built the “new” one and she absolutely HATED working there.

I was a guide at the new City Hall, and met quite a few folks who hated their new office space. I may have even met your Mom!

You may have—she retired in 1974——probably before your time.

She worked in the Registry Department-—deaths,marriages,and births.

Oy. That looks nearly as bad as ours. It's a facade over the old courthouse so it's not even real Brutalist. It's fake. LOL!

You Are Gothic

You can be too moody and impossible to understand. Most people don’t have feelings as strong as yours.
You are a sensitive, romantic soul. You live to love... it’s the most important thing for you.

You’re quite loyal to those you love most - friends and family. You have a sweet heart.
You are a deeply spiritual and wise person. You seek meaning in every aspect of your life.

A very pleasant good Wednesday morning to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country and thanks, LUV W for this morning's thread.

Here is the result I got

You Are Modern

You are a very exciting person to be involved with in any way. You are like a drug.

You make for a very formidable opponent. You destroy all challenges in your way.

You are a naturally powerful person. You know how to get what you want.

You crave success, but you're going to become successful on your own terms.

Howdy, E.G.C.

Were you and Gizmo able to get to the lake? The weather’s looked a bit ugly.

The storms thankfully dissipated before coming to our area. We both slept really good. No storms around our area while we were at the lake. Giz and I had a great time.

Good morning all.
Good morning to our AWESOME Military
our Allies, and
their families.
Thank you for all you do.

Just passing through to check in.
I'm not having a good week, so far,
and won't be hanging around.

Hot day ahead. I'm taking the day off
and going to the pool as there
are not too many more pool days left.

Oh, I agree with radu, not crazy about cities; plus,
I've never been to some on the list,
so it was hard too chose.

You Are Gothic
You can be too moody and impossible to understand.
Most people don't have feelings as strong as yours.
You are a sensitive, romantic soul.
You live to love... it's the most important thing for you.
You're quite loyal to those you love most - friends and family.
You have a sweet heart.
You are a deeply spiritual and wise person.
You seek meaning in every aspect of your life.

Okay, I'm off. Hope everyone has a BLESSED day.

I didn’t take the quiz. I looked and couldn’t answer any of the questions. There is no choice for “What do you love about the city?”. They should have had the choice of “nothing”! Anyway, I already know what architectural style I am. I’m log cabin!

Hi Luv. Sez here this week that I am Art Deco. This confirms I am not Art Carney.

YOU ARE ART DECO

People know they’re going to have a blast when you’re around. You bring the fun!

You think the world is a bright and brilliant place. You think other people have a lot to offer.

You are the friend everyone invites to the party. It’s not the same if you’re not there.
You are a free spirit, but deep down you are reliable and trustworthy. You honor your commitments.
