yeah, they don't make them like they used to in most of the world
construction labor has been pared to the bone as has the price of real estate gone through the roof (the bank owns the land, the building is a separate but immovable part of the price, the bankster inflation on land prices ate the viability of proper, careful and labor intensive construction - what you are experiencing is evidence of a crime).
I think you're right. This is an amazing building built late 20s or early 30s.
I was just thinking about how a lot of people make the mistake on US road trips of sticking to the interstates. The world of the boomers.
There was a whole pre-1940s world on the back highways. little towns with beautiful buildings from 1890s -1920s timeframe.
And then there's the ancient civilizations that we are just now finding in the Americas. It's such an amazing continent.
indeed, i'm on a mission to stack enough to get a boat and go there by wind power in the future. not sure about what is a good time to sail the atlantic, based on the intense windy stormy weather of feb-may on the north of this island i'm guessing that i probably don't want to go on a long haul until a full year from now, so i may just go and dock in cape verde for a while and wait out the bad winter weather then i'm heading for the coast of south america somewhere. idk, brazil, maybe, but then i might as well circle around and go up the west of the gulf and see ES and guatemala and mexico
