Dachau, Germany
Emeryville, California
|
I start across the walkway to the Emeryville station
and freeze. I am frozen by the design of this place. It seems
too similar to places I have only seen in pictures - places of a much different
sort. What architect designed this place? Was the similarity
intentional or purely a result of ignorance?
And I realized the similarity went past the architecture. Indeed
the historic image involved trains as well - trains filled with people
who never left.
It was a strange moment and I secretly hoped an earthquake would destroy
the walkway...after I was safely on the ground. |
