Metreon R.I.P. (1999 project profile)

One of my widely referenced past articles is the one I wrote about Sony Metreon shortly after it opened, for the Oct. 1, 1999 issue of Entertainment Design magazine (now Live Design). Alas - although Metreon's themed attractions were fascinating to write about and their creators are amazing talented people - pretty much everything in the complex bombed except for the movieplex and retail. The article was titled "Something Wild" in a bow to the areas themed for Maurice Sendak's "Where the Wild Things Are."

It is still online at this link. Memento of Metreon.
