Metropolis Magazine on Saarinen

This month's Metropolis Magazine is dedicated mostly to Eero Saarinen.

Check it out here.

Posting may be light this week. My computer's hard drives is having issues. But fortunately the lovely people at Dell will be sending me a new hard drive this week and a nice person from tech support will be coming out later this week to install is for me. I am busy backing up everything on my computer before the new hard drive is installed. But I hope to be back later in the week with more postings.
