Notes:
Venice as Visual Text
" . . . The visible fact that the people respond to their environment by their particular, personalized, and original additions and changes creates an environment which, in turn, stimulates further responses; this fact illustrates the dynamic interaction that exists between the environment and its people. This sense of participation, of the possiblitity of writing on the evironmental text, becomes more visually evident by contrast to the determined, noninvitational, and restrictive character of the new Venice."

"City Manager Perry Scott, favoring the removing of the Santa Monica Pier . . . said city taxpayers were subsidizing . . . the pier. "There's a very substantial use of the pier by those who don't spend money. I'm talking about kids and the elderly who come out to dangle hooks. The pier might be charming to some folks-but I wonder how much the general public should pay for that charm."" Stanton, 1990, See Below
