Maybe more so, as at least the concrete massifs resisted demolition somewhat. This new stuff falls over in a good storm. Even worse, that could be a picture of virtually any British town centre - there is nothing whatsoever to distinguish it from Liverpool, Cardiff or Aberdeen. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Rick Womer > Sent: Thursday, January 07, 2016 4:06 AM > To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List > Subject: PESO - New Look > > Speaking of the UK... > > This shopping complex in the Bloomsbury section of London was a grim, arid > Soviet-style desert when we lived nearby 35 years ago.
