I would hesitate to ponder your feelings about a photograph of a woman's buttocks. They've been doing that awhile, too.]]> Ricky Tick http://places.designobserver.com/feature/re-inhabited-circle-ks/11057/#comments 2009-10-30T16:35:33-05:00
This strategy has not become more interesting with the passing of time. Bring something fresh to the approach, or go home!]]> Andy Ross http://places.designobserver.com/feature/re-inhabited-circle-ks/11057/#comments 2009-10-30T12:50:43-05:00
They are perfectly adapted for independent businessmen not wishing to be part of a larger strip mall, loved for their huge angled beams and cantilevered roofs (witness the abandon with which they are adorned with Mexican beer flags and banners), and come in a variety of flavors that are a delight to identify on your next road trip or jaunt across town. Next time you are in a repurposed Circle K, take a look at the angled beams and the hardware, and compare to another commercial structure of Haver's like Copenhagen/Lou Regester. Don't bother calling Circle K, the corporation has changed hands so many time their PR department has nothing for us on the history of these prototypes.

Great job Paho -- I saw the series of photos at New American City a few years back and having grown up with these buildings have a fondness for them, Haver or not.]]> Alison King, Modern Phoenix http://places.designobserver.com/feature/re-inhabited-circle-ks/11057/#comments 2009-10-30T00:54:01-05:00 Nicholas http://places.designobserver.com/feature/re-inhabited-circle-ks/11057/#comments 2009-10-29T13:56:09-05:00
