The Alabama building doesn’t seem like a great execution, but the concept is right.

But if you haven’t had a stroopwafel, they are recommended. Yum. Unlike the modern monstrosities Kunstler highlights....

Yes! Especially the ones with caramel. Caramel is the bacon of sweets . . . makes EVERYthing better.

Check out the De Young Museum in San Francisco, before and after. A huge middle finger to the decency of mankind, as intended.

Yes. This was in Berlin. Each corner mounted a dual 120mm flak gun.

4 AA guns mounted on top? Most of them are still there. Those towers were downright resilient:

Yes, 4 mounts for their large (longer range/higher altitude) flak guns.
Smaller 88 mm (3-1/2 inch, faster-firing) shorter range, higher speed flak guns around the big ones.
