Hudson’s Department Store, Detroit
J.L. Hudson Company was founded in 1881 and as Detroit prospered so did the city’s flagship department store. The Hudson’s building, at one time, was the tallest department store in the world and the second largest by square footage. Due to declining sales, mainly due to decreased population in the city, the flagship Hudson’s store closed its doors in 1983. The building was imploded in 1998.

The Electric Sea Serpent
The illustrations herewith show Mr. Walter Stenning’s idea of the sea serpent which sundry and divers travelers have reported having seen at different times since 1555. It was built in Paris and during the past summer has been one of the attractions of the Jardin d’Acclimation. Our French contemporary, La Nature, says concerning the sea serpent: “The visitors to the Jardin d’Acclimation arrest themselves stupefied when they perceive circulating softly in the alleys, through the foliage, this rolling monster.” And we do not blame them. The serpent is about 100 ft. long and 6 ½ ft. in diameter; it consists of an electric locomotive drawing a train of cars carrying the necessary storage batteries to furnish current. Each car is covered with a ring of the animal’s body.

The Murder Castle
H. H. Holmes was a charismatic young lady killer who constructed a hotel, timed perfectly for the Chicago Worlds Fair, which operated as a massive murder machine. He used it to systematically trap and kill young women, then clean and articulate their skeletons to be sold to universities. The hotel was riddled with trap doors and hidden rooms, where guests would be trapped and tortured before ultimately being thrown down the chute to the basement.

Camper Built Inside a Car, 1952
Lucius Sheets of Huntington, Indiana, converted his Nash into a camper that allowed him to sleep, cook, and eat on the road, saving motel expenses. The right rear door, where the woman stands, was the meal center where basics could be stored. A piece of plywood attached to hooks near the food center and served as the table. Mr. and Mrs. Sheets preferred to stand while eating.

Lizzie Borden Murder House
Shortly before noon on August 4, 1892, the body of Andrew Borden, a prosperous businessman, was found in the parlor of his Fall River, Massachusetts, home. As neighbors, police and doctors arrived at the scene, the body of Abby Borden, his wife, was discovered in an upstairs bedroom. A week later, Andrew’s younger daughter, Lizzie, was arrested for the double murder. In an era when women were considered the “weaker” sex and female murderers were nearly unheard of, the trial—and subsequent acquittal—of Lizzie Borden made her a media sensation. Officially, the case remains unsolved, but Lizzie Borden may very well have taken an ax and ended her parents’ lives on that sweltering summer day.

ROC Monitoring Post
Between 1955 and 1991, more than 1,500 of these underground facilities were located right across the UK, roughly 10 miles apart mainly in remote rural locations. They were of a standard design and constructed of 12 inch thick, steel-reinforced concrete 20 feet beneath the ground. In the event of a nuclear attack, these posts would have been manned by three members of the Royal Observer Corps (ROC). These bunkers had no mains water, electricity, gas, or heating. The only communication with the outside world was by way of a simple Tele-Talk system to headquarters and 3 to 4 other nearby ROC posts in the ‘cluster group’. The occupants may not have been able to leave the safety of the bunker for many weeks after fallout due to the harmful effects of radiation. Most ROC bunkers were reasonably waterproof but they would have been intensely cold and damp.

At the centre of a purpose-built hall was a giant globe, 60 feet 4 inches (18.39 m) in diameter. The globe was hollow and contained a staircase and elevated platforms which members of the public could climb in order to view the surface of the earth on its interior surface, which was modelled in plaster of Paris, complete with mountain ranges and rivers all to scale. Punch described the attraction as "a geographical globule which the mind can take in at one swallow." In the surrounding galleries were displays of Wyld's maps, globes and surveying equipment.

The H. L. Hunley was a submarine of the Confederate States of America that played a small part in the American Civil War. The Hunley, nearly 40 feet (12 m) long, was built at Mobile, Alabama, and launched in July 1863. She was then shipped by rail on August 12, 1863, to Charleston, South Carolina. The Hunley (then called Fish Boat) sank on August 29, 1863, during a test run, killing five members of her crew. She sank again on October 15, 1863, killing all eight of her second crew, including Horace Hunley himself, who was aboard at the time, even though he was not a member of the Confederate military. Both times the Hunley was raised and returned to service. On February 17, 1864, The Hunley attacked and sank the 1240-short ton (1124 metric tons) screw sloop USS Housatonic, which had been on Union blockade-duty in Charleston's outer harbor. Soon afterwards, the Hunley sank, killing all eight of her third crew. This time, the ship was lost.

p.s. Hey. ** David Ehrenstein, Touché! Ha ha. I looked yesterday for Eduardo de Gregorio's films or excerpts in hopes of making a post, and there is literally not a trace of them that's not locked behind a pay wall, so I'll wait a while and see if anything gets freed up at some point. I don't think I know David Brooks' film, but I will look into it immediately. Thank you a lot! ** Bill, Hi. Is that true? Because of the way I slowly assemble those posts, I don't notice the locations so much. Funny you should ask about Stephane21000 because I've actually seen him around on the street and in the metro a number of times. I think he must live near the Recollets. When I came across his ad, I was, like, Holy shit, it's that guy! So the answer to your question is: not 'run into' him exactly but encounter, yes. I still haven't seen 'It Follows'. Damn. It must be on French Netflix by now. ** Sypha, Hi. Yes, and he says he likes everything. Do I hear wedding bells? ** Dóra Grőber, Hi. Well, I'm an eternal optimist. It's weird, but I am. Even though, in this case, my own income from my books has never been enough to live on in and of itself. But then my work is not exactly blockbuster material, and I knew that from the beginning. It's stopped raining here today! I should say 'so far'. But it's gotten quite cold. But I love the cold. I know 'Bodies without Souls'. I made a huge impression on me. Especially since I had seen some of the porns that guy had made before seeing the documentary, which reinvented them into something even more disturbing. I've never seen 'Angels But Not Angels'. Is it as good? Is it a similar kind of film? I hope you have a very fine and productive day, my friend. ** _Black_Acrylic, Hi, Ben. Oh, yes, yes, I would love to have that guest-post! I'm also a fan of her work, as I think you know. That would be wonderful, if you don't mind. Thank you a lot! ** Steevee, Hi. Ha ha, it seems technically possible that screwing an escort could bring inner peace. If you're skeptical of Malick's turn beginning with 'ToF' you may well not like 'KoC' since it's very much a further development of what he's been doing since. I did read that Koehler piece, yeah. I thought it was a particularly vehement version of the general argument against Malick's recent work among a contingent of critics. I think Koehler is freighted with expectations regarding what he thought Malick was doing in his earlier work and simply isn't paying attention to the new work. I thought his take was stubborn and conservative and wrongheaded. His loss. ** Thomas Moronic, Oh, man, cool. Firing up is a post's Nobel Prize equivalent. Yes, please give Chris Goode my best and tell him I would be very happy if he feels like popping in here or emailing or something, but no pressure. I'm about to restart work on the TV script today after getting Gisele's feedback. Zac's out of town, so I'll start drafting up a sketch/revision and send it to him, and then we'll powwow when he gets back. We're about 2/3 of the way through the second of three episodes. No actual work on the novel, but I have been thinking about it and strategizing and daydreaming about what I will write during a great potion of every recent day. What are you working on? ** Chilly Jay Chill, Hi, Jeff. Interesting, yeah, I think you might be right about Malick's editing having started to shift during 'The New World'. Huh. That's fascinating. I hadn't thought of that. I'm going to re-watch 'The New World' asap with that in mind. I think what he's doing now with the voiceovers is pretty interesting, and I suspect that he'll probably evolve them some more before he removes them, if he does. Based on 'KoC', I feel like there are still possibilities to enmesh and reposition them and have their effect change yet again. We'll see. The actors function in the new film similarly to how they have in his films starting with 'ToL'. They are basically presented as continually earnest, sincere, introverted, confused, hiding their confusion. I think the actors' performances are essentially textures and focal points, compasses, neutral but modulating and neither likable nor unlikable. Quite interesting. Yes, I'm super excited about 'Weightless'. Its title is extremely promising in and of itself. And of course for his forever-gestating mostly cgi history of the world film. ** Misanthrope, Hi. Classy, ha ha. The French would laugh were they a generality. I, not being French, know what you mean. Your friend is nuts. French and Italian cuisines have almost nothing in common. What a strange opinion. Schlinder's List? Boy, I really didn't like that film. But people do. Like you! God love you! Snow! You bastard! Grr! Not your fault, I know, but 'grr' anyway! ** Armando, Hey. Dude, don't call my opinion politeness before I even give it. That's rude. Anyway, I just read it quickly because I can't concentrate on anything well when I'm doing the p.s., but I liked it. It's very clean and sharp and economical, and I like the tone. That's a quick, first opinion. And it's not polite! Ha ha. ** Right. Gosh, I got on this little jag of fascination with 'the cutaway illustration' and with the particular, small, but not inconsiderable pleasure it gives. And I made a post. That's how it works around here sometimes. See you tomorrow.

Funny you should ask about Stephane21000 because I've actually seen him around on the street and in the metro a number of times. I think he must live near the Recollets. When I came across his ad, I was, like, Holy shit, it's that guy! So the answer to your question is: not 'run into' him exactly but encounter, yes. I still haven't seen 'It Follows'. Damn. It must be on French Netflix by now. ** Sypha, Hi. Yes, and he says he likes everything. Do I hear wedding bells? ** Dóra Grőber, Hi. Well, I'm an eternal optimist. It's weird, but I am. Even though, in this case, my own income from my books has never been enough to live on in and of itself. But then my work is not exactly blockbuster material, and I knew that from the beginning. It's stopped raining here today! I should say 'so far'. But it's gotten quite cold. But I love the cold. I know 'Bodies without Souls'. I made a huge impression on me. Especially since I had seen some of the porns that guy had made before seeing the documentary, which reinvented them into something even more disturbing. I've never seen 'Angels But Not Angels'. Is it as good? Is it a similar kind of film? I hope you have a very fine and productive day, my friend. ** _Black_Acrylic, Hi, Ben. Oh, yes, yes, I would love to have that guest-post! I'm also a fan of her work, as I think you know. That would be wonderful, if you don't mind. Thank you a lot! ** Steevee, Hi. Ha ha, it seems technically possible that screwing an escort could bring inner peace. If you're skeptical of Malick's turn beginning with 'ToF' you may well not like 'KoC' since it's very much a further development of what he's been doing since. I did read that Koehler piece, yeah. I thought it was a particularly vehement version of the general argument against Malick's recent work among a contingent of critics. I think Koehler is freighted with expectations regarding what he thought Malick was doing in his earlier work and simply isn't paying attention to the new work. I thought his take was stubborn and conservative and wrongheaded. His loss. ** Thomas Moronic, Oh, man, cool. Firing up is a post's Nobel Prize equivalent. Yes, please give Chris Goode my best and tell him I would be very happy if he feels like popping in here or emailing or something, but no pressure. I'm about to restart work on the TV script today after getting Gisele's feedback. Zac's out of town, so I'll start drafting up a sketch/revision and send it to him, and then we'll powwow when he gets back. We're about 2/3 of the way through the second of three episodes. No actual work on the novel, but I have been thinking about it and strategizing and daydreaming about what I will write during a great potion of every recent day. What are you working on? ** Chilly Jay Chill, Hi, Jeff. Interesting, yeah, I think you might be right about Malick's editing having started to shift during 'The New World'. Huh. That's fascinating. I hadn't thought of that. I'm going to re-watch 'The New World' asap with that in mind. I think what he's doing now with the voiceovers is pretty interesting, and I suspect that he'll probably evolve them some more before he removes them, if he does. Based on 'KoC', I feel like there are still possibilities to enmesh and reposition them and have their effect change yet again. We'll see. The actors function in the new film similarly to how they have in his films starting with 'ToL'. They are basically presented as continually earnest, sincere, introverted, confused, hiding their confusion. I think the actors' performances are essentially textures and focal points, compasses, neutral but modulating and neither likable nor unlikable. Quite interesting. Yes, I'm super excited about 'Weightless'. Its title is extremely promising in and of itself. And of course for his forever-gestating mostly cgi history of the world film. ** Misanthrope, Hi. Classy, ha ha. The French would laugh were they a generality. I, not being French, know what you mean. Your friend is nuts. French and Italian cuisines have almost nothing in common. What a strange opinion. Schlinder's List? Boy, I really didn't like that film. But people do. Like you! God love you! Snow! You bastard! Grr! Not your fault, I know, but 'grr' anyway! ** Armando, Hey. Dude, don't call my opinion politeness before I even give it. That's rude. Anyway, I just read it quickly because I can't concentrate on anything well when I'm doing the p.s., but I liked it. It's very clean and sharp and economical, and I like the tone. That's a quick, first opinion. And it's not polite! Ha ha. ** Right. Gosh, I got on this little jag of fascination with 'the cutaway illustration' and with the particular, small, but not inconsiderable pleasure it gives. And I made a post. That's how it works around here sometimes. See you tomorrow.
