Faux

Jaydyn Jaxxon was enraged by faux brick on Vincent. Tim D was confused by faux wood in Subiaco. I wonder what the Manhattes barkeep would make of these materials. These are the stuff of Perth. Maybe throw in some mini-orb and some salmon brick.  He was bemused by normal colourbond. Any fake brick down Hudson River way BSWAM?

      The Fauxgues make me want to hang myself, I can only handle listening to them for no more than 7 or 8 hours a stint.

    Fake Brick in the HRV? Hell yes–Port Ewen is coated with it.

    Speaking of which delightful spot, I regret to inform you that Lindy’s Diner, of Port Ewen, is no more. A grassy lot is all that remains.

    Halcyon Hall, on the other hand, is still standing.

    Well, slouching.

    • Port Ewen sounds like it needs a colourbond revolution.

        You mean the steel pretend wood fence? That we do not have, not even in Port Ewen. Hell, not even in Middletown, where they could probably benefit by it.

        If this isn’t the most idiotic thing I’ve read in a long time not something to do with Mitt Romney.

        The hotel is in clear view of a string of houses on the other side of the road and abuts a condo development. Not exactly the middle of nowhere or at least not any more so than Millbrook itself is.

        “What sordid things went on here???” I imagine bitching about grades, hand-rolled cigarettes, the odd bit of sexual fumbling, pretty much like any other school. My blood runs cold at the thought of all those bong hits.

        It is not about to be demolished any day unless the town magicially finds the money to do the job. Places they could look: under the sofa cusions, in the glove compartment, somewhere in the 200-year old 80-room mansion next door. The last might actually be a likely place but I’m pretty sure there’d be a bit of a tussle involved.

      BSWAM – how does one travel to the Hudson Valley from Manhattan? Trains or should I hire a car?

      • Surely it would be difficult to stop and buy old blacksmithing tools or rusted advertising signs by train.

        The train is fine if you plan on exploring places like Cold Spring or Beacon; a car is necessary for other locations. The train ride itself is beautiful, so there’s that to consider.

    A label kind of defeats the purpose of faux anything, doesn’t it?

      I confess I was skeptical about the benefits of another waterfront plan, but then I saw that you were offering $1000, and I’m now confident this Facebook campaign will draw the cream of urban design talent.

      Perhaps we could build the Aboriginal Cultural Centre out of the various waterfront plans rejected since the Swan River Colony was established.
