    Whelp, time to ruin it by putting up some shitty modernist architecture for a tourist trap. No possible way anybody wants to actually try rebuilding that. Because, like these new apartments in Coeur d'Alene, nothing says "authentic architecture" like looking up at the top of a red/brown brick facade that's been there for 100+ years and seeing it topped by some corrugated steel box that's painted either a dark blue or slate gray with unshuttered modern windows and no balconies even. Because I too want to live in the architectural equivalent of a shipping container on the roof of a building.

    • @Chrisicola
      @Chrisicola 2 роки тому

      A new structure that's somewhat comparable to the existing buildings is better than an empty, vacant lot(s). A business building that adds to tourist appeal and rare, local jobs is more important then just pure, outdated aesthetics. Time is change- not everything can remain like Leavenworth. Besides, it's really the trip via ferry through the San Juans to Friday Harbor, as a last stop, that's the draw. The island's downtown is cute and quaint, but it ain't all that great.
