Heavy Treading

The 1957 Hell Bound doesn't have many accolade tracer elements. Medically primitive even by the standards of a 70's serial like Emergency, it nevertheless has an interesting dialectic between the plot at the top billed end, and all the seedy cast members in between, tying chronic conditions to criminality in conventional and less conventional ways: a blind dope pusher, defining the essence of the burgeoning beatnik class, the addict, a morbidly obese diabetic, a dead child, casualty of our fabled car accidents, representative of the world which made Arlen Specter of the Warren Commission, and with less spectacular luck, more freshly deceased Thompson, who was a crucial aide during the Watergate hearings. In his last reverse mortgage commercial, which was a tacit admission to death panels, the leg he favored and the limp he staggered are perhaps testament to the quiet dignity of steely reticence.

If only Wework could do for public housing as it does for millennials. I may call them. I signed up for writers coworking philly, and remain hesitant, my social skills not that of an optimistic graduate, but I'm more or less curious about the coffee shop.

The problem with architecture is its relative permanence, lack of elasticity
