NO NOT THOSE FOUR basically) but it is right on the edge of reasonable doubt. Like, I haven't just visited San Diego, I spent a month there couch surfing at my friend the elephant trainer's during a brief residency. Maybe it's a northern/southern California rivalry bullshit thing, but San Diego feels... weird. Not good weird. It felt like it was more influenced by the desert and Phoenix than by the ocean and Mexico. The personality of the city just didn't fit. And that building fits perfectly in that incongruity. permalink fedilink source parent
