Editor’s Note

Cite 10 was guest edited by John Kaliski on the theme Outside the Loop. In "From Loop, to Loop, to Loop," Cameron Armstrong writes, "The psychological and physical impact of Loop 610 on Houston cannot be exaggerated. Places are described as inside, outside, or beyond this 44.3-mile route around inner Houston. Buildings are in its 'area' or 'corridor.' The loop's effect is not simply geographical: its circumference has become a fact in the city's social worlds too People identify themselves and their neighborhoods according to a consensus about a cultural divide that occurs at the loop. No matter that human birds flock in diverse groups, this eightlane great wall has given the city's stereo types vigorous life. Concepts of 'lifestyle' dominate the view on both sides of the road. The possibility of going aimlessly east or west, north or south, inside or outside Houston disappears among the implications of cultural and social proximity."
