    Interesting contemporary modern architcture! I am into old malls, modern contemporary designs, but I hate seeing them torned down for new shopping centers.

    There was such optimism in this era. I was once looking at some old photos with my mum and there was one of her in the mid 50s in the first bungalow my mum and dad bought (we're in England by the way) and I said to her how optimistic things looked then and she agreed. A newly married couple buying their first, newly built home was a big deal. New homes with clean lines, lots of light and air, and all mod cons, and a car in the driveway. People were building the future and looking forward to living in it. We are so negative by comparison now.

      The reason we are negative is due to the media and education system raising children from a young age to be nihilistic.
      Children who are raised to think the world will end in 15 years time are going to have lots of baggage and not a poor outlook on the world as a whole.
      Very few teenagers now work in jobs and the minimum wage is blocking many from getting on the career ladder. And their only option is to go to college that will teach them to be negative about life.
      The 1960s university hippies that hate the world they lived in and wanted it to be the USSR are now in charge of the culture at ever level.

      There is no one person behind it. Marxism is a culture that has millions of people who support that ideology.

      Every education body in the western world has now adapted catastrophic climate change as a means of education.
      You are just proving that nihilism is the norm.

    My father, Rudy Javernick, built hundreds of homes in Boise during the 1950's. Brick ranch style was popular in the East End off Warm Springs and Cruzen Subdivision off Curtis and Fairview. His clients gradually chose the Highlands and other hillside locations. Dave Dickover was his architect for many years. The houses I grew up in on Hays and nearby still look much the same.

      Was Dave related to Burt Dickover? I went to school with his boys and later worked in the bar he and his wife Joann owned

    That Hawkins Kentucky Fried Chicken at 10:37 has to be the Los Betos on Fairview by Channel 7. It looks like it, but the big connection is the Holiday Motel sign in the background at about where it would need to be for the Holiday Motel at 5416 W Fairview Ave.

    I'm sure Boise's story is pretty much the same as a lot of other American cities at that time.
