The things built by Americans during the 1930s represent, along with the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad 60-70 years prior to that decade, the very best we ever were as a nation. Post offices. Libraries. Bridges. Banks. Schools. When we are given the opportunity, we create beautiful, lasting edifices. Right now I’m sitting in Macado’s in downtown Marion, and I’m thinking about the mail, and the letters people sent from where I’m sitting. It’s magical.
