The age of the McMansion saw the shift of the house from a place that we live in, potentially for the rest of our lives, to an asset that we are decidedly not supposed to live in forever.
What do our abandoned playgrounds say about who we were- and who we are?
A new name and visual identity, pretty much everything else is the same.
We’re a city with a giant wooden lumberjack for our mascot and a moose on our official coat of arms. Let’s embrace Comic Sans.
