You have the symptoms.

Here's a twofer:

From the NYT, a photo essay of the human pathways replacing Detroit's aging and irrelevant street grid (click through and zoom in):



And from Vivian Maier, an "amateur" photographer, born in France, lived in Chicago, died this year at 83 and her work was discovered at an auction:



Really amazing stuff.
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

Artificially imposed structure gives way to the natural and practical. 

This is very encouraging.

Glad you guys like them.  Both links are pretty amazing and made my day better, but in totally different ways...  And those Vivian Mayer photos are amazing.
