Few businesses in the United States are regarded with more fondness than mom-and-pop retailers. There's an "all's right with the world" quality about owner-run shops that meet a neighborhood's everyday needs and, through repeated face-to-face exchanges, help people feel they're members of a mutually supportive community. And yet for a long time, mom-and-pop stores have been under stress. In the half-century after 1950, cars shifted much of United States's retailing to unwalkable roadside strips and winnowed the ranks of neighborhood-scale mom-and-pops. In the past two decades, the burgeoning of the internet has intensified the pressure on brick-and-mortar retail, a situation worsened by the pandemic.

What Kind of Architect Would George Costanza Be?

Posted: 01 Apr 2021 02:35 AM PDT

Perhaps no modern character from TV or film is more enthralled with architects than George Costanza from Seinfeld. And, let's be honest here, how many architects chose the profession in order to say those words, "I am an Architect?" Well, what if George was an architect? What kind of architect would he be? In this episode, Stewart breaks down scenes from Seinfeld in order to piece together the kind of architect he really wants to be. Using seven exhibits and a lawyerly argument, he builds his case around this most pressing 'what if' scenario. Exhibits range from George's overt references, like his claim to have designed the addition to the Guggenheim, to a more psychological assessment of his proclivities for cozy, velvet-lined spaces and concluding with his fascination for pretending in the first place.
