Goodnight, Cassini.

A couple of quick peeks at the Monroe Theater on Monroe Avenue in Rochester, New York.  When I snapped these shots I was heartened that despite being closed the theater looked to be in good condition.  When I went to the cinematreasures page I found out that the theater has endured a series of indignities, and is now only partially intact.  The actual auditorium, which would be hidden in these views, was demolished nine years ago.  Photos taken August 9, 2017.

This Home Rental Site Is Airbnb for Architecture Lovers

Sometimes, a great hotel is worth the trip all by itself. If you’re looking for design-focused accommodation—as opposed to just booking a hotel for utilitarian reasons—there’s a rental service that should be on your radar: PlansMatter.  Conceptualized by co-founders Connie Lindor and Scott Muellner, the company follows a business model that’s comparable to Airbnb.

“We were inspired to create PlansMatter by our love for architecture, combined with seeing the need for a tool to help other people who love architecture find incredible places to stay while on vacation,” says Muellner, who met Lindor on the design duo’s first day of architecture school at the University of Minnesota’s College of Design. “We are driven entirely by the design quality of the property. Our selection criteria is based solely on architectural integrity.”

Spätzünder: Ganze zwei Jahre nach der Vorstellung auf der IAA 1957 geht der DKW Junior in Serie. Von 1959 bis 1963 entstehen insgesamt 118.968 Fahrzeuge. Der wassergekühlte Dreizylinder (Zweitakter) leistete 34 PS und beschleunigte den rund 5000 D-Mark teuren Wagen auf 114 km/h.
