I wrote a review of the architecture of Severance, and got a chance to talk about horror, corporatism and labyrinths. Go check it out, I’ve been trying to write about this topic for a long time and thrilled that @archpaper gave me the opportunity to do so. Also peep the Backrooms videos by @kanepixels if you love offputting videos.
A little Borges, a little Orwell, a little Samuel Beckett.

Two in one week is a new record for me.

I wrote something about some under appreciated gems in my hometown, Omaha, Nebraska. I love offshoots and buildings that don’t make it into headlines. This Wingstop in particular has always had a particular place in my heart.
Thanks to @tiffany_jow and @untappedjournal for indulging me on some hometown hero’s.
Also a fun Lannie Weak story.
Shout out to @rollinray33 @emily_weak for the photos and for making sure I don’t forget things

My first ever building review released on Friday in the latest issue of @archpaper and it’s a real doozy. Thunderclouds and priceless art. What more could you want?
A truly surreal experience to review the new addition to a building that featured so prominently in my childhood. If you’re in Omaha go check it out. It’s a fantastic and thoughtful addition. Thanks to @archpaper for giving me the opportunity to ruminate about my hometown.

Lild Strand, Denmark
Pop. 300
I’m super behind on posting images from towns I’ve been visiting, but Lild marks the 10th of twelve or thirteen that I have planned.
It was a pleasure meeting people in Lild, and learning more about the Smart Rural program and what it’s like to live in a village of ~300 on the Northwest coast of Denmark. Special thanks to Bjarne, Mette, Kirsten, and Sheila who showed me around and talked to me about how they organized the villages in Lild.

Molenlanden, Netherlands & Kinderdijk, Netherlands
Pop: ~40,000 & 750
Had the opportunity to meet some really lovely people and have a really peaceful few days in Molenlanden, in the Alblasserwaard in South Holland. Among them was Peter @ppkhm (pictured in the first photo and subsequent photos in the post), one of the millers living in one of the 16 windmills that are still inhabited in Kinderdijk. Peter is a punk, a bluegrass fan, a die hard futbol fan, and very passionate about Kinderdijk. He’s also created a lot of really cool things throughout his life (TV shows, yearly jam session festivals, books, and more), but has worked a long time as a miller, managing water levels in Holland, since 1991. He’s been living in this particular windmill for around 13 years, give or take.
He talked to me about some his ideas for forms of tourism that would be regenerative for small towns like Kinderdijk or for ecologies like the landscape of Molenlanden, as well projects he has going on in or around Kinderdijk. He talked to me about chef’s foraging local ecologies for the food they serve, Bluegrass bands that play jam sessions in Kinderdijk once a year, Bed and Breakfasts to that support local business being places where tourists can get to know locals over a shared meal, and finding forms of tourism that embed travelers in a community; something deeper than leaving with a photo and tchotchke.
Kinderdijk’s bakery (pictured in photos 2 and 3) @ons.dagelijks.brood is one of those projects. This bakery had been a staple in Kinderdijk for over a hundred and, was the last surviving shop in Kinderdijk in 2021 before it too needed to close down. Townsfolk rallied together to create a foundation to reopen the bakery in 2022, only allowing the bakery to stay closed for 3 weeks. Small institutions like bakery’s create a place where tourism interests with locals. As the bakery website says: “The world meets Kinderdijk and Kinderdijk meets the world.”
The landscape in this part of Holland is beautiful. I accidentally went on 32km (~20 mile) hike through the center of Molenlanden on my first day in the municipality, but managed to see so much!

He’s been living in this particular windmill for around 13 years, give or take.
He talked to me about some his ideas for forms of tourism that would be regenerative for small towns like Kinderdijk or for ecologies like the landscape of Molenlanden, as well projects he has going on in or around Kinderdijk. He talked to me about chef’s foraging local ecologies for the food they serve, Bluegrass bands that play jam sessions in Kinderdijk once a year, Bed and Breakfasts to that support local business being places where tourists can get to know locals over a shared meal, and finding forms of tourism that embed travelers in a community; something deeper than leaving with a photo and tchotchke.
Kinderdijk’s bakery (pictured in photos 2 and 3) @ons.dagelijks.brood is one of those projects. This bakery had been a staple in Kinderdijk for over a hundred and, was the last surviving shop in Kinderdijk in 2021 before it too needed to close down. Townsfolk rallied together to create a foundation to reopen the bakery in 2022, only allowing the bakery to stay closed for 3 weeks. Small institutions like bakery’s create a place where tourism interests with locals. As the bakery website says: “The world meets Kinderdijk and Kinderdijk meets the world.”
The landscape in this part of Holland is beautiful. I accidentally went on 32km (~20 mile) hike through the center of Molenlanden on my first day in the municipality, but managed to see so much!

Stanz Im Murtzal, Austria
Pop. 1,769
Stanz is a series of small residential hamlets along a main road the stretches for ~15km in Steiermark. Along that road is a small town center that hosts a grocery store, municipalities office, a community hall, and some other shops and stores that are popular with the townsfolk. Stanz used money provided as part of an EU investment initiative for small towns to build a new building (similar in some ways to a 5 over 1) that hosts a grocery store and hair salon on the ground floor, and apartments for seniors and young families on the levels above. The town also spent money renovating the community hall and municipality building. (Pics 1-6)
When I visited, the grocery was packed with people milling about and chatting out front before or after picking up things from the store. I spoke with someone who informed me that the grocery runs from 8am-12pm everyday but Sunday, but is self-serve outside of those hours.
The town also hosts a beautiful centuries old pinkish church, that looks down on Stanz from a perch 50-70 feet above the town, accessed by a covered stair. (Pics 7-11)
Otherwise the town hosts a few traditional Austrian restaurants along its main street, a library, and a community swap meet of sorts where Stanz residents can donate or pickup used goods as they need without charge. (Pics 12-15)
Last but not least- a photo of new favorite statue of mine. All towns should announce themselves with a Tim Burton-esque statue (last pic).

When I visited, the grocery was packed with people milling about and chatting out front before or after picking up things from the store. I spoke with someone who informed me that the grocery runs from 8am-12pm everyday but Sunday, but is self-serve outside of those hours.
The town also hosts a beautiful centuries old pinkish church, that looks down on Stanz from a perch 50-70 feet above the town, accessed by a covered stair. (Pics 7-11)
Otherwise the town hosts a few traditional Austrian restaurants along its main street, a library, and a community swap meet of sorts where Stanz residents can donate or pickup used goods as they need without charge. (Pics 12-15)
Last but not least- a photo of new favorite statue of mine. All towns should announce themselves with a Tim Burton-esque statue (last pic).

Stanz is a series of small residential hamlets along a main road the stretches for ~15km in Steiermark. Along that road is a small town center that hosts a grocery store, municipalities office, a community hall, and some other shops and stores that are popular with the townsfolk.

Trofaiach, Austria
Pop ~11,000
Trofaiach is a really cool town with a complex history. A once proud mining town that celebrates its history, in recent years there’s been a concerted effort to renovate buildings in the towns historic urban core. Based on the Roman Catholic symbolism you’ll find throughout the village, it seems like the village is a few centuries old.. atleast.
I loved all the corner apse statues, and the lime green benches, bus shelters, and bike shelters that seemed to indicate a recent addition to Trofaiach’s urban fabric. Lime green seems to the villages brand color, as it’s used on most public infrastructure and on all “Trofaiach Meine Stadt” signs. It’s cool to see branding used to bring a smaller community like this together, and for that branding to be around collective ownership

Weissensee, Austria
Population ~750
Weissensee, Austria is actually a string of small villages mostly along the north side of Weissensee Lake, a beautiful crystal clear lake, formed from glacial runoff, that’s stretches 23 kilometers. Much of the shoreline is reserved for nature which includes plenty of space for Weissensee Nature Park, which depending on the season supports hiking, cross country skiing, skiing, fishing biking, ice skating (the lake freezes over in the winter), etc.
There’s a small development on the Southern Bank, which is accessible via a bridge.
The architecture of Weissensee is interesting, a mix again of traditional Alpine architecture often remixed withcontemporary forms, or modern additions grafted onto older structures.
All along the Northern banks are Spas, BNBs, Eco Hotels (hotels where nature is fundamental to the experience), and stand alone sauna buildings. I happened to be here in the offseason (too cold to swim, to warm for snow) and thus am missing out on what makes this place great, but even so.. this place is idyllic in ways that feel fantastical.
I can see the Alps and crystal clear water from my balcony

Much of the shoreline is reserved for nature which includes plenty of space for Weissensee Nature Park, which depending on the season supports hiking, cross country skiing, skiing, fishing biking, ice skating (the lake freezes over in the winter), etc.
There’s a small development on the Southern Bank, which is accessible via a bridge.
The architecture of Weissensee is interesting, a mix again of traditional Alpine architecture often remixed withcontemporary forms, or modern additions grafted onto older structures.
All along the Northern banks are Spas, BNBs, Eco Hotels (hotels where nature is fundamental to the experience), and stand alone sauna buildings. I happened to be here in the offseason (too cold to swim, to warm for snow) and thus am missing out on what makes this place great, but even so.. this place is idyllic in ways that feel fantastical.
I can see the Alps and crystal clear water from my balcony

Werfenweng, Austria
Population ~1,000
A picturesque ski-village in Salzburg, Austria, nestled amongst the alps. The village is about 6 hours from Vienna by train, and then a short 15 minute shuttle ride from the Pfarrwerfen train station.
The town is quaint. The buildings, more or less, are in an Alpine style: timber, stone, low sloped roofs. However, there are some newer buildings that deviate through higher roof pitches or slight deviations in material. I was surprised by the amount of construction taking place in the village. Mostly of fancy new resorts, not pictured in this post.
There are signs posted along corners in the village promoting its campaign for “mobility”, or giving visitors ample opportunity to make it to the little mountain town, without the need for a car:
- The W-3 shuttle provides a direct connection to Werfenweng a couple other small villages.
- There are cars available to rent.
- Guest mobility passes make all public transit in Salzburg free (and give you a free ride on the cable car in town)
-My pass came free with my room and board.
Mobility felt like a thoughtful focus to me as I noticed that many of the residents and visitors were young families or had gray hair.
Some other notable places/things:
- a family/child focused ski-park
- a beautiful old church (first consecrated in 1509)
- a large wellness resort
- so many solar panels, both on buildings and power public infrastructure, like street lights
As I walked home tonight, I heard goats braying from a nearby building and saw ducks and chickens wandering the path into town. In those moments, Werfenweng still felt rural to me (in a quaint way), even with its modern buildings, and its gorpcore residents/visitors.

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV.

If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
