“Hrm, I hadn't thought of it that way, but yes, it makes a lot of sense, the destruction/creation contrast. I think he writes really well, but I guess it just really isn't my thing.”

“I agree. Lived there for a bit and had no clue re the exposition or who invented the Ferris wheel (other than a name) or the architects...now all gone and they have a Trump tower taller than The Hancock. You might like "Stanley" for a good tale, also true.”

MCA, a 49-year-old woman in Raleigh
“I'm one of those who liked the writing style. I think he was going for the juxtaposition - how people were choosing to use their energy - one to build, one to destroy - and how it was all happening at the same place at the same time.”
