Mid century style, retro road trips, and the importance of websites in historic preservation and small business marketing were just a few of the subjects discussed in today's  wide ranging, occasionally smile inducing conversation with Mary-Frances O’Dea. Lustron homes (quirky prefabricated post WWII houses made of steel with porcelain enameled finish), time capsule motels, road trips, neon signs, muffler men, Schitt’s Creek, and the multi-colored kitchens of the 1950s were also woven into the lively and fast paced conversation.

Mary-Frances O’Dea is a Mid-Century enthusiast and accomplished web developer. Her work has been featured in national publications and in more than two decades of blogging. She is well known for bringing a unique blend of creativity and technical expertise to every project. As the founder of the successful website development business Apricity Marketing (www.apricitymarketing.com), she specializes in creating innovative and effective digital solutions that help businesses thrive.
