The Detroit historical photos post on the main page this morning made me think about landmarks. Most of the things I'd recall as "landmarks" from my childhood and even young adult days are now gone.or so mutilated as to be unrecognizable. (Obviously I didn't pick sufficiently enduring things as my "landmarks" . . . .)
Are landmarks even important anymore?
Are cars instead of places our landmarks?
Is there anything from gearhead culture (Kulture for you "Kustom" folks . . . "petrolhead" for our overseas friends . . . . ) that will outlive us? Or are the things we thought were important going to eventually disappear into the "cloud" of revisionism and "progress?"
