[quote=njtosd]If you ever get to Chicago, the Frank Lloyd Wright Home & Studio in Oak Park is fantastic. Wright lived there with his family from 1889 until 1909 and the prairie that lay beyond Oak Park at the time was part of the inspiration for his style. There are many homes designed by him within walking distance, and most of the architecture in Oak Park (including the assisted living facility where my Mom lives) is influenced by his style.

My mom grew up in River Forest.

Falling Water is cool. I saw it about 15 years ago – before the shut it down and beefed it up, structurally. It’s a long drive from Philly, though… we spent the night in Pittsburgh when we went.

In the Philly area there are some other cool architectural sites.
– The Beth Sholom Synagogue in Elkins Park (just north of Philly) is a Wright design. You can take the R1,R3,or R5 train to the Elkins Park SEPTA station. They do tours by reservation.
http://www.bethsholompreservation.org/
– The Thomas Edison Home in Orange NJ is a cool house tour. You can also tour his labs, etc.
http://www.nps.gov/edis/index.htm
– The Emlen Physick Estate tour in Cape May is cool. Mansion was designed by Frank Furness – a big time Philly architect.

– I assume you know about the Strawberry Mansion tours in Fairmount Park.

If you’re only interested in modern homes, there’s a Philly realtor, Craig Wakefield, who has a website about Philly modern homes.

I geared my reply towards Philly since I know you spend time there and Falling Water is in the same state (although other end.)

Locally there’s the Marston House, Whaley house, etc.

But in his defense – he was angry about a 50 percent increase in price. That’s a pretty steep increase.

[quote=sdrealtor]Has anyone ever made a Costco run and spent less than $100?[/quote]
Only on rare occasion.
And I skipped the wine/booze sections those times. 😉
