I’ve previously written briefly about Googie design, the space-age futuristic look from the middle of last century. Though its extremely car-centric, I still find the futurist style appealing. Googie is interesting, and it’s different, and it’s often fun. The frequent use of neon doesn’t hurt, either. Plus, it’s nice when a restaurant or gas station looks like something.
The New York Times recently wrote about the fight to save Googie, and the article includes some excellent pictures.
