Trump stopped a suburban Philadelphia town hall Q&A and played 39 minutes of music on Monday.
The @nytimes #sanewashed the event, calling the interlude “a detour.” Unlikely to have been the word choice had Harris done this.

Arncliffe Hall
Imagine walking past Arncliffe Hall on a quiet sunny day, without any cars to spoil the view. A rare sight. This grand house, made of smooth ashlar stone, was built by John Carr around 1750 for Thomas Mauleverer. Inside, you would find some amazing Rococo plasterwork, featuring a figure of Plenty floating over Cleveland, represented by Roseberry Topping, and a cow and a cottage.

"A Bit Hytten Miss"
Hytten Hall college was formally re-established at Melville Street in central Hobart at a ceremony on 8 March, 2024. The original Hytten Hall was a University college located on the Sandy Bay campus. It operated from 1959-1980 as a non-denominational male-only college, except for its final year. It was named after Torleiv Hytten, the University’s first full-time Vice-Chancellor, born in Norway in 1890.The non-symmetrical "random" placement of windows simultaneously appeals to me, yet completely does my head in.

My favourite Richard Hall
Richard Hall is a common enough name and there are plenty of us to choose from among the current crop. But my favourite can be found in Georgian England.

A blight that has bedeviled Kinloch for seven years is finally shrinking. Over the past week, workers have begun gnawing at a 6-acre mountain of shingles and other solid waste.
It wasn't always like this. Two derelict buildings on the site began as schools: Kennedy Junior High and Kinloch Senior High. Later they served as City Hall and a community center.

The Palace at the Foot of the Walk: the thread about the many lives of an early cinema
The Foot of the Walk pub in Leith has been in the news recently as its owner has put it on the market for sale, to much local indignation. These premises first opened on 1st January 1913 as The Palace cinema (in reference to the term “Picture Palace“, which was in use at the time to differentiate the upper end of the cinema market from the lower), showing a programme of illustrated nursery rhymes, a film about a gang of horse thieves and other “pictures of a humorous kind, which were greatly appreciated“. The cinema, as built, had a proscenium 32 feet wide by 22 feet high which gave it the largest screen in all of Edinburgh or Leith. It had a capacity for 2,000; 900 in the pit, 650 in the pit stalls and 450 in the upper gallery and a feature was that both the roof and balcony were cantilevered, with no supporting pillars to get in the way of the view of the screen. Great attention was paid to fire safety; the Brackliss Motiograph projector was installed behind the auditorium, within fireproof walls, there were 8 emergency exits from the auditorium and lighting was electric, rather than gas.
“Palace Buildings & Foot of Leith Walk”, James Valentine picture postcard, 1913. The round tower over the entrance is long gone. © Edinburgh City LibrariesIt cost the Leith Public Hall & Property Co. around £20,000 to build (around £1.8 million in 2023) and was part of a syndicate of cinemas controlled by theatre impresario Robert Colburn (“RC”) Buchanan; a man described by Scottish Cinema journal at that time as being gifted to the trade “by the gods“. Buchanan was for a time the managing director of the Gaiety theatre in Leith, which stood on th opposite side of Constitution Street from The Palace. The latter site had long been the premises of Bell, Rannie & Co., one of Leith’s longest established wine merchants, where brothers Robert and John Cockburn served their apprenticeships.

The buildings on the right were replaced by Leith Central Station in 1903, those on the left remain, now the British Heart Foundation shop. © Edinburgh City LibrariesA fire at Bell, Rannie & Co.’s George Street shop in 1910 led to the sale of their Constitution Street warehouse and offices. It was briefly thereafter occupied by the Rev. John Findlater and the Leith Methodist Church, which had recently become homeless after its church across the road was demolished to allow the construction of Leith Central Station. Shortly after this, it too was cleared, to make way for the cinema which was built on top of Bell & Rannie’s old vaults.
Sale of Bell, Rannie & Co. vaults etc. at 171-173 constitution street, The Scotsman- 5th February 1910The cinema was surrounded at ground floor level with shop units on both Constitution and Duke Streets and at this time the opportunity was taken for the former street to be widened and a corresponding portion of the latter narrowed, to improve the road layout at the Foot of the Walk. Upstairs, on the Duke Street side, there was a hall that was long occupied by the Leith Central Snooker Club.

Move the slide to compare how the plot of the Palace Cinema was changed from that of Bell & Rannie by widening Constitution Street and narrowing Duke Street correspondingly. Reproduced with the permission of the National Library of ScotlandOne thing that wasn’t included in the demolition and rebuilding was an adjoining bonded warehouse, the property of Cockburn & Campbell, wine merchants at 15 Duke Street. This sad looking, long-abandoned old building is actually one of the oldest in this part of Leith – dating from at least 1804!
The Duke Street wing of The Palace in 1953. The number 19 tram to Tollcross passes by as someone steps into The Marksman public house (which is there to this day). On the first floor gable a painted sign can be read “The Palace, Continuous 6 – 10:30” and the old Cockburn’s warehouse is the dark, windowless building beyond.The Palace was designed around showing two programmes every night, at 7PM and 9PM, and so was laid out internally such that one audience could enter through the foyer while previous one exited through separate doors onto Duke and Constitution street, without any mutual disruption. The advert below shows the opening week’s programme, which described the venue as “a Lordly Picture House. The Largest. The Latest. The Best.“
The Palace – “A Lordly Picture House”, opening week programme. Evening News – 6th January 1913The opening feature – “A Race For An Inheritance” (A Drama rushing from sensation to sensation) – was a Gaumont film that had only recently been released.
Kinematograph Weekly – 7th November 1912This wasn’t the only “Palace” cinema in the neighbourhood, there was Pringle’s Picture Palace at the other end of The Walk on Elm Row and they were joined by the Empire Picture Palace on Henderson Street in 1917. Further afield there was the St. Bernard’s Picture Palace in Stockbridge, which opened in 1911, The Palace on Princes Street, which opened on Christmas Eve 1913 and the New Palace on the High Street that opened for talkies in 1929. The Leith Palace was wired for sound in September 1930 to allow it to join that latest cinema craze. In 1931 the Cimarron with Richard Dix and Irene Dunne was one of the first such pictures being shown. Alterations were made at this time by renowned cinema (and roadhouse!) architect Thomas Bowhill Gibson, whose work includes the Dominion in Morningside and former George / County in Portobello. These may have included removal of the tower over the entrance that is seen in the first picture on this page.

However by the 1960s, like many smaller houses it was beginning to struggle to compete with television and closed without ceremony on December 31st 1966, 53 years to the day since it opened, showing The Trouble With Angels starring Rosalind Russell and Hayley Mills.
The Palace in the early-to-mid 1950s, taken looking down Constitution Street from the Foot of the Walk. Picture from “The last picture shows, Edinburgh : ninety years of cinema entertainment in Scotland’s capital city” by Brendon ThomasThe cinema went on the market and was purchased by new owners, Norwich Enterprises Ltd, trading as Palace Promotions. It was shortly thereafter converted to serve the new craze of bingo, still under the Palace name. A fire in 1968 destroyed most of the auditorium roof of the building on March 24th 1968, fortunately some hours after the 1,000 patrons who had been playing had gone home. It was repaired thereafter and soon back in business.
Palace Bingo Club, 1971, photograph by Kevin & Henry Wheelan, 1971. © Edinburgh City LibrariesIn 1978 the Bingo hall closed and was replaced by Cuemasters Snooker and Social Club and in turn the long established Leith Central Snooker Club upstairs closed in 1983. In 1992 a small church called “The Potters House” moved in to the latter space.
Potters House Christian Centre, Evening News, October 15th 1992The old cinema was refurbished and reopened as the Wetherspoon pub The Foot of the Walk on 27th June 2001. Few of the original features are visible inside, but if you use your imagination you can get a rough idea of the original layout. The upper balcony still exists, hidden away, with its seats, carpets and wall coverings as they were when the last film was shown in 1966. You can view pictures of it here on the excellent Scottish Cinemas website. After over 20 years of security in the guise of a cheap, cheerful and popular watering hole, its future is once again uncertain. In its life it has spent 53 years as a cinema, 12 years as a bingo hall, 23 years as a snooker hall and a further 23 as a public house; like many former cinemas it has now spent longer not being a cinema than the time it spent serving its intended purpose.
The Foot of the Walk, JD Wetherspoon promotional picture.As for the name “Foot of the Walk“? It’s a name for this locality that’s as old as postal directories are in Edinburgh and Leith, appearing in Peter Williamson’s first directories in the 1770s. And we can push it back 40 years more in the newspapers, an advert for one of the first houses built here appearing in the Caledonian Mercury on January 4th 1737.

🐘 Marvin and the Hall of Mirrors
Marvin wandered into a hall of mirrors…
Every reflection looked familiar —
but none were quite the same.A small thought on memory, and whether we recall the past…
or rebuild it each time we look.
