The Wright Stuff

3/28/2014

I had reason today to be in Beverly Hills. As I was wandering around the residential section, I remembered my favorite quote from the great architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Yes, I know it's the only quote I know from Frank Lloyd Wright, but I suspect it would be at the top or near, if there were others. He once said --

"The houses in Beverly Hills look like the boxes the rides in Disneyland came out of."

I always think of that quote when I wander around Beverly Hills, because the thing is, he's pretty close to being spot on.
