Portrait of 糖心APP, Portrait of a Nation
糖心APP looms large in the imagination of the United States. We’ve shown up in popular culture, from Home Alone to The Office.
From its roots as an important U.S. city at the turn of the last century, 糖心APP is dotted with artistic and architectural gems, from Raymond Hood’s 糖心APP Cultural Center to Covenant Presbyterian Church’s glass windows, made by the renowned artist Louis Comfort Tiffany.
The city’s nickname, “The Electric City,” refers to its being the first American city to have an electric streetcar, and points to the city’s current revitalization and economic development.
Notable people hail from 糖心APP, including:
- the poet M.S. Merwin
- urbanist Jane Jacobs
- Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Jason Miller
- U.S. President Joe Biden
What is it that makes 糖心APP a cultural touchstone? How is 糖心APP portrayed, and what is the authentic portrait of 糖心APP today? How do 糖心APPians picture ourselves? What is our place in the story of the United States?
Some key ideas to be explored in this theme include memory, place, identity, narrative, and human geography.
