Francaviglia ; foreword by Wayne FranklinIowa City :University of Iowa Press,[1996]©19961 online resource (252 p.)The American land & life seriesDescription based upon print version of record.0-87745-542-2 0-87745-543-0 Includes bibliographical references (pages [207]-216) and index.As an archetype for an entire class of places, Main Street has become one of America's most popular and idealized images. In Main Street Revisited, the first book to place the design of small downtowns in spatial and chronological context, Richard Francaviglia finds the sources of romanticized images of this archetype, including Walt Disney's Main Street USA, in towns as diverse as Marceline, Missouri, and Fort Collins, Colorado. Francaviglia interprets Main Street both as a real place and as an expression of collective assumptions, designs, and myths; his Main Streets are treasure troves ofAmerican land and life series.City planningUnited StatesCity planningUnited StatesMapsCity planningUnited StatesPictorial worksCity and town lifeUnited StatesElectronic books.City planningCity planningCity planningCity and town life307.76/2/0973Francaviglia Richard V.858219MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456425103321Main street revisited1915939UNINA
