Rather than my usual tarot post for a Monday, I just needed to write quickly about the Worldport at John F. Kennedy Airport. The iconic flying saucer-shaped structure is in the throes of the wrecking ball as I post this.
It's listed in the Top 11 Endangered Historic Places. There are throngs of folks who are huge fans of this masterpiece of Modernism. It's been used in countless films and TV shows (most recently, the TV show "Pan-Am" filmed there). But just as of today, a good portion had been bulldozed away.
Nope. Sometimes the marching ahead of "progress" just blatantly sucks.
