I'd be happy if we just had more architecture like the Space Needle. It seems to me that "futuristic cities" always seem to have a lot more spires than we get these days.

I have a poster of Amelia, her Lockheed and a Cord Coupe. Gee... Golly gosh. The world of the future never looked so good ever again.

Hey Swank, there's a beautiful picture of Ameilia Earheart in hangar with a bunch of the world's brightest men on the CIA's website (enter at your own risk). I bet not even AE could have predicted what today would be like!
