  1. Join me for the next weekend of the 2024 indoor marching arts season at the 2024 Ohio Indoor Performance Association Springfield Holland events! Springfield Holland will take place on Saturday, February 24 at 3:00 PM Eastern and Sunday, February 25 at 10:45 AM Eastern at Springfield High School in Holland, Ohio. Both days feature many incredible scholastic and independent indoor color guard and percussion ensembles.

    I will be at both events with my camera, so I’ll be easy to find. Be sure to say hello if you see me there! Also, drop a comment below if you’ll be at the show, as well. Also, keep watch on my Flickr account as I will post some of the photos I take throughout both events.

  5. @springdiesel The pretty uncomfortable truth holds, that Hitler's Nazis framed their antisemitic Nuremberg race laws inspired by American racist anti-POC laws & rules like the "one-drop policy".
    And that America succeeded at defeating the Nazis at Normandy's Omaha & Utah beaches, but failed to do so in real Omaha, Utah & other parts of the United States. Until today.
    Deterred (?) by an almost self-destructive interpretation of the First Amendment?

  8. Around the 7.45 min mark approx., #CarlosCurbelo (sounds like a GOP former politician) uses the word 'humble' as if it's some sort of 'compliment'.

    It seems that for the least few years, in the U.S., the word 'humble' is used towards people who are racialised as 'black' as some sort of compliment.

    I never hear this word about ANY other categorised group of people. REALLY sus. 😠

    I'm not american and I'm not racialised as black, what do Americans racialised as 'black' think of this #racist ''compliment' of calling a black person 'humble?

  14. Streamlined theaters of ‘moderne’ movie magic

    “Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.” – Frank Gehry Source: brainyquote.com

    Listed below are some of the nation’s most iconic movie theaters that feature Streamline Moderne architecture. Related to art deco, Streamline Moderne was employed principally in the 1930s and 40s as a more economical alternative due to the advent of the Great Depression and World War II. It served as a transitional design between art deco and mid-century modern and is often portrayed through sleekness and curvature to portray a sense of aerodynamics and speed.

    As the images below attest, the Streamline Moderne style of architecture can also include a hearty salute towards the heavens with pylon towers extending skyward. While the theaters are listed by year of completion, as the Alex Theatre below notes, the tower adornment may have been added at a later date.

    Normal Theatre (1938) in Normal, Illinois – Source: en.wikipedia.org

    To this avid fan of theaters (or “theatres”), the Tower Theatre in Sacramento, the Alex Theatre in Glendale, California, the Normal Theatre in Illinois, and the Academy Theatre in Inglewood, California are among the most visually breathtaking structures in the nation. Fortunately for all of us, a number of these dynamic structures have been preserved through preservation efforts and/or adaptive reuse, though many are no longer utilized solely as theaters.

    Academy Theatre (1939) – Inglewood California ~ 125 foot tall pylon tower – The tower and building still exist as a church, though the spiral portions of the tower have been redesigned. Source: Facebook.com

    Enjoy the magical images throughout the post as representations of this most fascinating design. Peace!

    To this avid fan of theaters (or “theatres”), the Tower Theatre in Sacramento, the Alex Theatre in Glendale, California, the Normal Theatre in Illinois, and the Academy Theatre in Inglewood, California are among the most visually breathtaking structures in the nation. Fortunately for all of us, a number of these dynamic structures have been preserved through preservation efforts and/or adaptive reuse, though many are no longer utilized solely as theaters.

  18. Streamlined theaters of ‘moderne’ movie magic

    “Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.” – Frank Gehry Source: brainyquote.com

    Listed below are some of the nation’s most iconic movie theaters that feature Streamline Moderne architecture. Related to art deco, Streamline Moderne was employed principally in the 1930s and 40s as a more economical alternative due to the advent of the Great Depression and World War II. It served as a transitional design between art deco and mid-century modern and is often portrayed through sleekness and curvature to portray a sense of aerodynamics and speed.

    As the images below attest, the Streamline Moderne style of architecture can also include a hearty salute towards the heavens with pylon towers extending skyward. While the theaters are listed by year of completion, as the Alex Theatre below notes, the tower adornment may have been added at a later date.
