The Bunget

Philadelphia is still nice and cozy, but, as it turned out, not everywhere. In some places it is so severe that you do not want to get out of the car once again and even sitting inside you do not feel very comfortable. Landscapes around remind us more of the end of the world than about the bright future, and if you suddenly have to go somewhere, then every walk ends with a meeting with an aggressive asshole. It turned out that there are areas in Philadelphia that are no longer in New York and which are described on the Internet as words like ghettos and slums. Philadelphia is the largest city in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the sixth-most populous city in the United States, with an estimated population of 1,567,872. Philadelphia served as the temporary capital of the United States, 1790–1800, while the Federal City was under construction in the District of Columbia.

Only in the interwar period cars became popular in Romania, especially because more and more people could afford such luxury. I decided to talk a little about the situation of drivers at that time, but also to present some vintage pictures (badly) colored by The Bunget. The statistical data is available only from 1926, but according to the book Automobile in Romania: History and Technique written by Chiriac Vasiliu, between 1922-1926 the import of cars strongly grew with an annual average of over 2000 units, so the number of cars in Romania was 11308 in 1926 (despite those 1,000 units in the pre-war period). In the next five years, the number of cars will almost reach 26,000, the increase being due to higher market involvement of foreign manufacturers such ...

Every station is an important place of the city which is called a ”level”. I want to show you the most important levels from the art déco perspective. Ryan Amusements “…Ryan thought my vision was immature… "antiquated," he said. This place could have been something magical, but instead he turned it into a school… no, a cathedral. Dedicated to himself.”                                 ― Carlson Fiddle Ryan Amusements was a theme park built by Carlson Fiddle, intended to teach Andrew Ryan's philosophy to the youth of Rapture. Ryan realized after completion of the city that children, whether they immigrated to or were born in the city, might someday wish to leave Rapture seeking the surface world. Seeing t...

The Guardian Building is a landmark skyscraper in the United States, located in Downtown Detroit, Michigan, within the Financial District. Built in 1928 and finished in 1929, the building was originally called the Union Trust Building and is a bold example of Art Deco architecture, including art moderne designs with a very strong influence of the Mayan architecture.  It was designated a National Historic Landmark on June 29, 1989, and the associated Detroit Financial District is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Elegant detail is seen throughout the facade and large amounts visible on the north tower crown. The interior, however...
