Sometimes I feel like the chains are trying to fool us; we are not the Big Bad Wolf, we are products of the mountains, that have been unearthed and now bring you low-price goods. Eh, just a thought.

It's funny, though, because boxmakers make some sort of attempt to "Colorado-fy" their boxes by adding stone facade and veneers. Check out this Lowe's:

No the chains are DEFINiTELY trying to fool us. As my professor has said today... giving something a 'style' is the most base thing we can do to a building. By taking and rubber stamping that imagery of Colorado architecture onto the building it completely destroys any meaning that stone and timber architecture of the mountains once had. It's a mockery.
But I still kinda prefer their version of a Lowes over ours...
