Hello, and Future Programming

Dear readers, it's been about seven years since I touched down on this blog, and I guess it's time to post a few things. I'm feeling this blog is a good place to drop random bits about Mid-Century art and architecture that relates to Sacramento and the greater Sacramento Valley region. Most of the stuff is going to be piece-meal, and scraps about houses or designers or architects that are no-longer with us. I guess that's just what I'm interested in. In looking at what we've lost, at least that part of history is set-up to fill in the gaps around what still exists.

Keep an eye out in the coming months for these and more :
