I think part of the problem is that when we began building big airports after WWII, shitty modern architecture had taken over.
Washington Dulles International Airport, for example, was designed by a famous architect with the intent of being an architectural gem. Unfortunately, that ensured it was a hideous eyesore. Also, security regulations often prevent airports from being used in the way the architect suggested.
But yes, most airports don't even bother to pretend that beauty was a consideration in their design. Dulles is ugly but at least made a misguided effort to look good.

Dulles is beautiful. You're nuts.

I think the problem with airports from the "golden age" is they were too small to handle modern crowds and all the extensions, annexes and new terminals are pure functional rat mazes.

Train travel was also at one time glamorous, beautiful and ornate dining cars, bar cars. I would love to see that make a come back.
Train from NYC to Montreal is a long ride but one of the prettiest you could ever see. They have a nice viewing car.

Crazy. It makes you think, what happened to society?
People built things like this? What happened to us?

The City of Detroit, from 1920 to the 1990s, can be viewed as a microcosm of American society.
In no other place did the promise true equality come closer to being realized than Detroit in the 1960s, and what did "they" do? They hit.

if i could find the time, i'd like to take a train trip across a large portion of the country. it's crazy expensive though, and it takes for fucking ever.
when anthony bourdain went to Detroit and hung out with that squirrely guy in the Packard Plant, it was a real bummer to watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpF8eZ3bPqE
