  1. One of the most famous aviators of her day, the now seemingly forgotten Ruth Nichols, suffered a terrible crash in a plane she wasn't piloting at the end of a "good will" tour in Troy, NY, promoting air travel. She survived and went on to great accomplishments. I've got the story of the crash here:

  6. Going through thousands of old #photographs, trying to see what catches my eye and is worth sharing. This old iron fire escape fascinates (and terrifies).

    This is typical of downtown Troy, New York.

  11. An #historicalmarker notes the site of the Troy Sentinel #newspaper, which was the first to publish Clement Moore's poem, "'Twas The Night Before Christmas," 200 years ago!

    Since this was 26 years before the first U.S. Christmas card was printed in nearby #Albany, we are declaring that #TroyNY has more #ChristmasSpirit

    There's way more of this type of nonsense at my #LocalHistory website, hoxsie.org/

  16. I found a 1932 #map of #NewYorkState on the cover of a brochure promoting #AlbanyNY that is filled with absolutely delightful illustrations (and, yes, some casual racism, which I'll leave for another post).

    All #illustrations by Herbert Writer, about whom I know nothing.

  24. For people who loved yesterday's wonky #VinylSign, here's another great bit of curled vinyl, where the reason for the curling #sign was probably the heat of the now-absent neon – ironically, at the now-gone Troy Neon Sign Company. Gotta say, Cooper Black is a choice for outlining neon.

  29. Spotted this ten years ago, stuck to a payphone enclosure in one of my favorite cities, Troy, NY (The Collar City!). Whenever I see it, it gives me pleasure that someone shared a thought so lovely with the world.

    Troy *is* beautiful.
    You *are* beautiful.
