Hello and welcome to our Urban Themed Space Home page! Our space of choice was the the Italian Restaurant chain, The Olive Garden. We felt the Olive Garden was a perfect choice for a themed space because it represents one of the most popular ethnic cultures in the United States. The focus of our page is to explain how the Olive Garden restaurant effects the political economy of urban areas, how it represents itself through different sign values, and the combination of the two in understanding each others role in urban theory.
    You can access our essays at the bottom of this page as well as our links to other sites and the people who actually put in the blood, sweat and tears into making this work of art. So look around, inform yourself, and enjoy.
