The Pruitt-Igoe housing project in St. Louis became most famous at the moment of its demise. The thirty-three high-rise towers built in the 1950’s were supposed to solve the impending population crisis in inner city St. Louis. It was supposed to save the urban poor from the indignities of the downtown slums that lacked natural light, water and fresh air. And for a short while, it worked. It was a housing marvel.
But when conditions started to decline, everything got very bad, very fast. It got so bad, only two decades after it was built; the housing authority blew it up. The image of the first Pruitt-Igoe controlled implosion circled the globe. The implosion footage became the unassailable proof that Modernist architecture and federal housing just didn’t work. Chad Freidrichs is the director of the new documentary The Pruitt-Igoe Myth and in the film he examines all the reasons people cite for the demise of Pruitt-Igoe. (via)that looks real good.

GET WELL SOON SILVER BULLET!
Some A-hole hit her and quit her last night. She's at the doctor's office now (not nscience's because he's not a dr. yet). Good news though, they said that she would make a full recovery. Of course she will. Feel better soon!
shangela on dance moms
flim said that shangela was on toddlers and tiaras last night, so i was immediately reminded of when shangela was on dance moms. widely known fact, shangela is the reason i want to learn to death drop.

the people have spoken.
it's settled. samoas are the best girl scout cookie, followed closely by thin mints. and anyone who eats do-si-dos is a total loser. and unpopular.
that's just the way the cookie crumbles.
Ayyyyy OOOOHhhhhhh RIVER!
During last Friday’s season premiere of Portlandia, star and co-creator Carrie Brownstein uttered a phrase that apparently resonated with the viewing audience. That phrase (word? sound? onomatopoeia?) is, of course, A-O RIVER! Fred’s and Carrie’s characters Kath and Dave are using the phrase as a signal, for what though is unclear. In this behind-the-scenes interview we talk to Fred and Carrie about Kath and Dave and how exactly A-O RIVER! came to be. (via)what is the POINT.
