Buckley Shoe Store [2/2]

Originally located at 1009 Preston, Buckley Shoe Store moved to the 315 Main location sometime between Fall 1910 and Spring 1911.

The photo in the previous post was taken at the new 315 Main location.

Today, the Harris County Administration building occupies the entire bottom half of this block.

RIP Maria Łabodycz 🕯⚘️

Unfortunately fascism is on the rise in Germany again. So the hashtags
#NeverForget
and
#NeverForgive
do not make much sense any longer. On the contrary, state organised killing of innocents will be very popular here again.

Soon.

I shared this yesterday but I forgot the hashtags. So I'll post again today: I highly, highly recommend the Northwestern University Transportation Library Travel Grant. It's a great collection and a fantastic place to do research. I am happy to answer any questions that you might have about applying or doing research in the Transportation Library collections, which are fascinating.

8) THE OLD NURSE'S STORY, E. Gaskell (1852)

Illustration by Johanna Öst, showing a scene from Gaskell's story. It's a drawing of a woman cradling a child under a holly tree. The child seems to sleep, but the woman, dressed in black and huddled over in the snow, look deranged, with her eyes and smile a little too wide. She stares directly at the viewer.

#history / All-Palestine Government

The All-Palestine Government of September/October 1948 was a messy affair: a last ditch effort by the Arab League and then de facto Palestinian national leader, Hajj Amin al-Husseini (AHE), to form a government, that will give some semblance of sovereignty and insert the Palestinian voice into the discussions about the future of Palestine at the UN General Assembly, which was about to discuss Bernadotte's recommendations (annex the Palestinian territories to Trans-Jordan).

In spirit of friendly counsel US Govt considers establishment of “Arab Palestine Govt” under present circumstances prejudicial to successful solution Palestine problem as well as to best interests Arab States and Arab inhabitants Palestine. “Govt” apparently being set up without prior consultation wishes Arab Palestinians. Also appears dominated by Mufti, an adventurer, whose reprehensible wartime activities in association with our enemies cannot be forgotten or forgiven by US. Best interests Arab States being prejudiced by published indications that Arab unity disturbed by formation of “Govt”. Moreover by claiming speak for all Palestine “Govt” affords ready pretext to Jewish revisionists make similar claims for right [of] PGI control all Palestine.

If asked re US attitude on future of Arab Palestine you should recall to questioners that US Govt has announced its support of all Bernadotte’s conclusions.

502 years ago today, Queen (consort) Christina of Norway and Denmark (and, at times, Sweden) died, 59 years old. Her death was peaceful, but before that, she had lived through some _very_ interesting times.
In 1501, she was in Stockholm with her husband, King Hans/Johan/John, when Swedish magnates rose in open rebellion against him and his Nordic union. King John scarpered back to Denmark to raise an army. Queen Christina was left in charge of Stockholm castle. 1/*

Kristen Patterson writes beautifully about Emily Wilson’s new translation of the Iliad and the controversies surrounding it. She contends with the continuing appeal of Ancient Greece as an artifact of “past glory”, arriving (via LeGuin!!!) to the lasting meaning we find in these stories. Meaning which Wilson’s more accessible translation brings out.

Recommended morning read.

Happy Birthday to Walt Disney who originally planned Disney World's Epcot as a ‘community of tomorrow,' including:

> A single authority
> Banishment of cars
> No unemployment

When urged by a Disney designer to carry through on Walt’s broader civic-minded vision, Walt’s brother Roy, who had taken the reins of the company, answered, “Walt is dead.”
