Example sentences for: frantz

How can you use “frantz” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Celebration, of course, is the town built by Disney, and our concern here is the two recent books about the town, The Celebration Chronicles: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Property Value in Disney's New Town , by Andrew Ross, and Celebration, U.S.A.: Living in Disney's Brave New Town , by Catherine Collins and her husband, Douglas Frantz.

  • And more than Frantz and Collins, Ross explores the significance that makes Celebration not just another Columbia or Reston or Hershey or Pullman: its corporate sponsorship of a community in an age when corporations and governments are shuffling and re-dealing the cards of civic responsibility, in what Ross calls "a consumer society's rendition of the concerns of the founding fathers."

  • You say Frantz and Collins have done the relevant homework, but their interviews with Michael Eisner, Robert A.M. Stern, and others among the seminal thinkers, funders, and power brokers who brought Celebration to pass, didn't seem to draw those thinkers very deep into the matters that make Celebration an experiment worth writing about.

  • But my notes also remind me that Frantz and Collins have themselves leapt the White Vinyl Fence when they felt the urge, and have, for instance, documented elegantly the plight of Disney workers unable to afford Celebration, who must rely on impact fees to help with their mortgages.

  • That is why the fears expressed by Ross and to a lesser extent by Frantz and Collins about corporate urbanism are misplaced.
