American cultural aesthetics have adopted some particularly strange fads throughout the decades, but few strike that particular chord of nostalgic resonance as well as late-’90s movie theater carpets those thousands upon thousands of square feet of garish, neon-colored cosmic bodies, squiggly lines, and splatter paint set against dingy black backdrops. As it turns out, that strain of floor fashion can be largely traced back to Pattern Patient Zero: AMC Theaters’ “The Odyssey.”

What was The Odyssey, and what was its purpose? As Foster Kamer, writing for A24 s blog, recently explained, “If those carpets could talk, they’d tell you a story about late-’90s economics, showbiz, multiplexes, and an era of world-building that changed moviegoing as we know it maybe more than any other.”
LAGRANGE â Telling the commissioners Monday morning that people keep forgetting that the LaGrange County Office Building is more than 37 years old, Gary Mast, the countyâs maintenance supervisor started outlining the upgrades he hopes to make in the structure.
âItâs time to start thinking about a facelift, inside and out,â he told the commissioners.
Mast made the comments during the commissionersâ regular meeting. He sought the commissionerâs approval to replace some carpeting in one of the buildingâs upstairs offices. That carpet represents the last piece of original carpeting still left on the buildingâs second-floor building. Mast got permission to have Quality Flooring, a Topeka vendor, replace and install new carpeting in that office for just over $4,000.
