Thanks! It's something I've been thinking about a lot lately, and it seems there's quite a few others who are too. The more we express these thoughts to one another, the more we can understand and better recognize how extensively the powers-that-be affect our daily lives, our very sense of self and our relations to each other.

I second It Can't Happen Here and would also add The Iron Heel by Jack London. I just wrote this article about both those novels and how they forewarn the stripping of civil liberties and police brutality that we see today in the Occupy movement.

I went there all the time when I was a kid too! Very fond memories of that place. I haven't been there for a bit, but there are recent reviews on Yelp so I think they're still open.

Hot Dog Annie's in Worcester. I always crave their BBQ hot dogs. This place is best in the summer, so maybe save this one for another adventure.

It would be cool to have photos at the thrift store, showing items in the racks, explaining to readers what to look for, tips for thrifting, since for many people the hardest part is sorting through all the junk. Teach people how to thrift, then show us the "after" outfits. Great concept for the website so far!

Most utopian novels have terrible plots because the book is more about showing the society than about the adventures of individual characters. When you have to spend most of the novel explaining their educational, political, and economic systems, its hard to get a story going. But they're still interesting from a 'world building' perspective.

Game theorist and designer Jane McGonigal developed an alternate reality game, Tombstone Hold 'Em, to play in cemeteries. She created the game for players to spend more positive time in cemeteries which only in the late 20th century have become neglected "single-use" memorial spaces. Positive psychology says that meditation of death is necessary for happiness, and McGonigal suggests playing in cemeteries is the best way to do this.
