Notably: If you haven’t been to the center of Flagler Beach lately, you might have missed the transformation of the penultimate block of State Road 1-00 on its way to the Atlantic Ocean, where the unfortunately named Margaritaville Hotel’s pillared floors have risen with the rapidity of a Kilauean volcano, but somewhat better planned (only somewhat: the height of the hotel may have surprised a few residents and city commission members: the height was not quite the same as initially conceived, or imagined) and with no collateral damage, except to sights of the ocean from certain vantage points. It is the return of what used to be there anyway. So the pictures above and below give you a sense of what there is now. The yellowness will be replaced by other-colored walls.

—P.T.

No more arresting emblems of the modern culture of nationalism exist than cenotaphs and tombs of Unknown Soldiers. The public ceremonial reverence accorded these monuments precisely because they are either deliberately empty or no one knows who lies inside them, has no true precedents in earlier times. To feel the force of this modernity one has only to imagine the general reaction to the busy-body who ‘discovered’ the Unknown Soldier’s name or insisted on filling the cenotaph with some real bones. Sacrilege of a strange, contemporary kind! Yet void as these tombs are of identifiable mortal remains or immortal souls, they are nonetheless saturated with ghostly national imaginings.2 (This is why so many different nations have such tombs without feeling any need to specify the nationality of their absent occupants. What else could they be but Germans, Americans, Argentinians . . .?)

–From Benedict Anderson’s Imagined Communities (1983).
