Like all great American art, we created something wonderful, then ignored it and thought it had no value because it was closely tied to commerce and “low class culture,” and didn’t even realize we did it at all (there’s a reason “film noir” is a French term - they noticed this stuff wasn’t “junk” but a genre unto itself long after the genre ceased to exist). 

A lot of the “greenhouse” fast food restaurants remodeled in the past 10 years. Smashed in, like they were trash and the owners probably didn’t think anything of it at all. It’s really a tragedy for a style to appear, then totally disappear and nobody noticed or cared. 

When I started searching sunroom, a fascinating thing happened. I kept on finding upscale restaurants that, as a part of their architecture, use Solarium design or have sunrooms. This isn’t the first time some element of “low culture” is repackaged as expensive haute couture. 

Double trouble.

maybe the shit will come full-circle one day. maybe the weirdos will continue to delve into their own pits and collect in the shadows like cockroaches. maybe the times then and now really aren’t that different and in a few hundred years people won’t even be able to tell 'us’ apart, the way the nobody knows the difference between 1120AD and 1160AD.
