#232












#232, Boerum Hill, Brooklyn


This looks seriously sci-fi for old Brooklyn. I always wonder if there will come a point in time when this so-called futuristic font will just look retro. Or maybe it already does to you. What comes to mind when you see this 232: Jetsons? J.G. Ballard? Or how about Tron?

Well spotted.

The Grapes Of Wrath. I can't explain why.

Wait, isn't there that scene where Rose of Sharon leaves the Dust Bowl and goes to outer space? No?

Radge said...

Yes, yes there is. It's in the outtakes.

This font is way in the future for me. Trust me, one day even you lot will find this retro. Then I will be smiling - if skeletons smile.
