Don't freak out with "angkor" in the link above just yet, it's just an ironically named link. -_-|||
However, mr ian, the old police station, like the Black Pearl is still sunken in anonimosity. Will keep finding.
I just wonder...What is it about trams and trolleys that brings out the romance in us? Is it the slower pace..is it the non-polluting energy use..is it the immediate post-industrial image..is it the reliability of it's service that instills trust and peace of mind..is it the public ownership-use that encourage community consciousness? Or what? Are those qualities transferrable to our architecture?
