I love this short interview with Aaron Draplin. Whether you are a designer or not, the premise of the piece is spot on. Drive around everytown America for a little while and see how our country more and more lacks personality and historic respect.

Typical but not hideous. At least their use of color is fun and not a complete disaster. Best part is the link to "Soul of Athens" which is WAY cool. I think the video and my commentary were more focused on the disaster that is places like East State Street, Columbus Road, All of Columbus Ohio etc...

You DID notice that the sign the dude in the clip bought, and the actual Athens sign, are both "the Sunset Motel"?
