The Wiki Man: Web building

After the womenfolk in the household have gone to bed, I like to spend a minute trawling a few porn sites. In my case it may be either www.privateislandsonline.com (the estate agency most beloved of James Bond villains) or more commonly www.savewright.org, with its section ‘Wright on the Market’ listing all the properties currently on sale that were designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

It is a senseless dream, of course. There are no Wright buildings outside the US (bar a handful in Tokyo) and those on sale are usually either a) priced at $4 million, b) in need of ruinously expensive restoration, or c) located seven hours’ drive from Des Moines. I am slightly tempted by the $750,000 Lindholm Service Station in Cloquet, Minnesota, ‘the world’s only Frank Lloyd Wright gas station’, but I suspect my family might not be too keen on the move, even though the bright lights of Duluth are a mere three hours’ drive away.
