Best Bad Idea Ever

I must admit that even though I thought I knew my Bay area history, I never really knew about the thwarted late 1960s development project Marincello that would have included 50 high rise towers and 30,000 residents clustered among the Marin Headlands.

Appalling on just about every level, it's also hard not to wonder what it would be like to live in the penthouse of one of the towers for a week. That's one of those things I'll try to imagine in my head but also be thankful never happened.

Tuesday on a Friday

I've not seen this since it was released in 1980, so I was pleased to track down Serial, one of Tuesday Weld's late career films. Tuesday, as many may know, is one of my all time favorites and greatly overlooked in my opinion. I don't hold down high expectations for coming back to this flick nearly 30 years later, but it's an interesting view of my hometown through the hazy lens of the past.
