ReadyMade's Take on Apartment Life

Alum Rachel DeSchepper sent me this article on Apartment Life magazine, a wonderful icon of the 1970s. Many of you sat through my discussions of that magazine, so you might be interested in ReadyMade's look back at the publication. And for those of you in Des Moines, stop by the E.T. Meredith Center for Magazine Studies, 111 Meredith Hall on the Drake campus, and look at old copies of Apartment Life, Metropolitan Home, and Mother Earth News.
