Poundbury, Dorset, England
Has anyone ever heard of Poundbury, Dorset, England. Its a town built appear as a 18th century village. I loathe the idea of living in a city but I would consider living in a town like this if there were a couple in the USA, depending on the state it was in. Even though its just a facade it still speaks of desire to return to traditionalism and a culture which slides away from us at an ever increasing speed.
Poundbury is an experimental new town or urban extension on the outskirts of Dorchester in the county of Dorset, England. The development is built on land owned by the Duchy of Cornwall. via Wikipedia
