Bakersfieldian Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 I'm glad they are leaving out that hideous junk they've built in Glendale. Seriously though, our architecture is one of strongest links we have with our past. I'll definitely check the exhibit out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vava Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 If anyone one from the forum is going on Monday, I'm sure that those of us who are too far away to be able to attend would appreciate any information on what was presented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantom22 Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Too bad that I left the smoggy land of Sodom & Gomorrah. I would have just loved to attend this seminar at UCLA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
