    Ok, I am going to say it. I effin hate FLW designs. Can’t stand them. They look like James Bond Villain Lairs. Horrible. Do you know how many times I have been dragged to Fallingwater? 16. Sixteen agonizing trips totaling 35 hours of my life gone.

      Why did you go there so much if you hated it?

          Scouts
          School trip
          Mom
          Aunt
          Scouts again
          2nd Aunt
          School trip again
          Sister’s new MIL
          Mom again
          Girlfriend’s mom
          Other sister’s MIL
          Sister’s friend
          College Girlfriend
          Drunk trip with college friends when the ski weekend was a bust since it was too warm (don’t plan and reserve cabins 3 months in advance)
          Mom again
          And an outside visit to point it out to Lucas. Didn’t count it since we didn’t go inside.

              You are too nice. Other than my mom, I would have just paid for the cab fare for my relatives to go.

                I don't understand the appeal of these houses, either. They're self-conscious, and a bit up-themselves, and don't look like homes at all.

                I was only joking

                  Bunch of wussies who don't know awesome when they see it.

                  If I ever won a big lottery payout, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

                              While FLW provided many ideas for trends, much of it wasn't practical for the real world - a bit like couture fashion.

                                Every single day I see office and commercial buildings based on Wright’s designs being torn down. Thank God… 70 years too late, but it’s something…
