City & Society Becomes Semi-Annual
If You Build it They Will Come
AS POLAND COMPLETES the privatization of its economy and attracts increasing foreign investment, a district such as the Kazimierz section of Krakow faces a new dilemma-how best to regulate new construction and renovations in order to preserve its historic character.

The subway was the H line-the Hell line-with destinations instead of going from, like, Dyre Ave. we spelled it Dire Ave. Instead of going to Bedford Stuyvesant, we went to Deadford Stuyvesant. Slurs and slants on all the stuff. It was kind of cynical and we wanted to throw a kind of gruesome or grotesque thing in a very Hallow…
