From Jonathon W., and I definitely remember these: Photographs of Cheap Motels in 1970s America.

From C. Lee, and this is terrific: “A Solemn and an Awful Thing”: Dining with Americans Sickens Dickens. This is thoughtful: The Great Gatsby: The world's most misunderstood novel. An interesting idea: Could plastic roads make for a smoother ride? I would totally agree: How Survival Themes Save the Management Games from Themselves.
