Can We Talk?

January 15, 2021 By Guy St. Clair Leave a Comment

Two weeks ago, in a New Year’s Day message (An Optimistic Perspective for 2021), I raised the question of whether or not it was possible to be optimistic after all we have been through in 2020. Eternal optimist that I am, my response was a resounding yes.

An Optimistic Perspective for 2021

January 1, 2021 By Guy St. Clair Leave a Comment

I had been to Cleveland before, at least twice, both times on business. …

Vienna’s Otto-Wagner-Spital: A Disturbing Story

July 21, 2020 By Guy St. Clair Leave a Comment

Before I conclude my own personal homage to Vienna’s most famous architect (coming in a few weeks when I write about Otto Wagner’s stunning Österreichische Postsparkasse) I want to look again at the Otto-Wagner-Spital which we visited a few days back.
