Sometimes I need somewhere to land with my notebook and pen, a place to consolidate my outstretched self.
My impulse has often led me to areas with verve, culture, and snappy people living impressively.
But lately I've been seeking out the mundane and forgettable spots instead. There's a local grocery with an ugly in-store coffee nook that I like. There, wedged between a display for gaudy coffee mugs, pharmacy bandages, and closeout items, all the beauty and magic is forced to come from within.

Great places to build from stylistically, glamour wise, and often hilarious.

I know I do this to myself, but sometimes I think about it and my appetite goes away. My ability to sleep becomes null. This is a students' residence for a prestigious university in Bogotá. It's very ugly. It's incoherent with the rest of architecture in the city. These are two clowns in the middle of everywhere. The Twin Towers would laugh at this shit 😔. Share with me the ugly pieces of architecture you've seen if you'd like. I'm curious and masochist.
