Art deco and Plovidv
Doc Searls went and pointed to a very interesting page of photos of Plovidv, Bulgaria, taken by Stephen Lewis. Apparently the town is a time capsule of (among other styles) Jugendstil and Art Deco buildings.
This was not much of a surprise, as we just saw The Black Dahlia, and it seems one of the ways they got so many stunning Art Deco locations to film, standing in for LA in the 1940s, was to go to Bulgaria.
