The Palms- Hillcrest 60s Building

The Palm, San Diego Painting- For Sale
I think this apartment building in Hillcrest/U Heights is probably from the 60s, since Modern design from that decade was more delicate. Whenever it’s from, it’s a cool place.
Decayed Modernism is so prevalent in southern California. Modernist architecture, urban planning, and design had mostly utopian ideals, trying to make people’s lives better through design. Did it work? I’m not sure, and there’s something poignant about the irony of those high ideals contrasted with buildings in disrepair.

We stopped in an industrial area. I’m not sure where we were- somewhere between LA and Santa Barbara. It was a little town with a palm-lined main street. I liked the quonset hut a lot.
I went to preschool in one- a quonset hut I mean. It was on Quantico- a military base in Virginia near Washington DC.
