Sparked in part by the designation of a “googie” (a Denny’s diner) as a heritage landmark structure (a designation that the deep-pocketed owner, the Benaroya company, is going to fight in court), Berger reports on subsequent repercussions and discussions among “representatives from the state Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation, Historic Seattle, the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation, and others.” The comments thread is pretty interesting, too, and there are parallels to what Victoria is facing in its considerations around “landmarking” modern buildings.

- YuleHeibel: In Victoria, it seems that small 1.0 minds keep censorship alive in a world trying to be 2.0.

- YuleHeibel: @hummingbird604 I signed up for that - I'll see you there, Raul. Looking forward to it.
- YuleHeibel: @hummingbird604 That's very sweet (& generous), thx. But I'm at a dead-end here, either I leave or get a job bagging groceries at Safeway.
- YuleHeibel: @NaomiDevine Or maybe it's the other way around (re. shallow grave)? Too little to live, too much to die? Whatever. Island DNA replicates.
- YuleHeibel: @hummingbird604 Oh, I mean Victoria alright. I'd move to Vancouver, but right now Seattle (or US) looks interesting, too.
- YuleHeibel: @KathySierra Totally agree. Came here as adventure, but need to realize it's not "my" place. Wld like to come home (US), actually.
- YuleHeibel: @NaomiDevine Yeah, Victoria is a shallow grave. Its depth is measured by too little to die, too much to live.
- YuleHeibel: I feel like I live in the city of betrayals. And disappointments. Time to leave.
