+> Some places pick one idea and follow it all the way down. A Chicago speakeasy built around a −16°F walk-in bar, an Athens neighborhood that turned its politics into an open-air gallery, a Paris suite handed to an artist for nine months, an office built in the literal shape of a picnic basket, a small Georgia city that runs on its own music history, and a blue-stucco townhouse on Roma's most cinematic street.
