"in April 1978, at Victoria Park in Hackney, the first Carnival Against Racism saw the Clash, Steel Pulse, the Tom Robinson Band and X-Ray Spex bury their cultural differences to unite against the National Front. They did not get together and concoct a document about how to make their work more palatable to fascists"

After posting today’s piece about the murals on drive-in theatres (https://bl.ag/cinematic-signs-drive-in-murals-captured-by-john-margolies/), a subscriber got in touch to tell me about this book on the medium at large:

https://gftbooks.com/screen-towers-the-drive-in-theater-in-america/?ref=bl.ag

Among the slideshow of photos from Screen Towers by Steve Fitch there are two of the drive-ins that I profiled, but shown at night with their neon in full glow. I've added these as a PS to the original post linked above.

Catania, Italia: Finding beauty beneath a gritty cover

They say to never judge a book by its cover. Well, the same can be said for cities. Some cities may not have all the glitz and panache of those that appear on Top 10 lists, but beneath its volcanic grit, Catania, Sicily, Italia is a dynamic community just waiting to be discovered.

While Catania’s central core and suburbs bask in the Mediterranean sun, some other parts of the inner city are emblazoned with graffiti and a noticeable assortment of litter dotting the streets. Another factor that makes the city seem grittier than average is the use of volcanic rock for construction and periodic douses of ashen rainfall whenever nearby Mount Etna is acting restless. In fact, in 1669 much of Catania was destroyed by an eruption by its gigantic neighbor.

It’s said that initial impressions can be lasting, but if one takes the time to peel back the visible exterior of Sicily’s second largest metropolis, you’ll find a charming, colorful, and quite beguiling city.

Not only are there scenic vistas due to the city’s location adjacent to the Ionian Sea and Mount Etna, but it is filled with impressive human made attributes like the Teatro Massimo Belinni, a number of fontana (fountains), the Greco-Roman Teatro, notable architecture throughout the city, and cute art installations like colorful umbrella covers of public spaces like small piazzas and alleys. Overall, the heart of Catania is very walkable.

Beyond those sights, Catania has a terrific collection of bookstores, vintage/new record stores, and the stunning underground University of Catania Library, where the former Benedictine Monastery Library was previously situated (see below).

We spent 10 days there in late January/early February 2026 and found some truly exquisite sights that are well-worth a deeper look by tourists and locals alike. Interspersed throughout this post are images from Catania that should provide anyone with inspiration to visit this busy and industrious city aside the Ionian Sea.

Peace!

Phantom at the Hollywood Theatre in Portland

https://etnmarchand.wordpress.com/2025/10/26/phantom-at-the-hollywood-theatre-in-portland/

I watched three movies at the Regal Jack London. I wish I had a Regal closer to me, I like the Regal Unlimited subscription over the Cinemark Movie Club subscription.

What are good ways to preach #God 's word? 📖 Without annoying 😠 and angering 💢 others. Why time 🕑 and place 🏟️ matters if you're trying to win people over.

What do I mean by time 🕑 and place, 🏟️ and "good ways" to #preach and spread the word of God's creation?

If there is an event that might seem to 'encourage people to #sin "

Instead of interrupting those against peoples will and #preaching out of no where. (which is how people will view it therefore, making a bad look of #Christianity to others.)

Wouldn't it be better to set up a clearly organized event, maybe a social media page, where people might stumble upon your content. While not disturbing or interrupting someone elses event. (disturbing someones event is like distrupting their #movie viewing in #theatres.) 🍿

There is a distinction because as Christians we are suppose to share God's word with #love, and spread the word.

By rudely interrupting other events and talking over and preaching around people that don't want to hear. It gives Christianity a bad perception to those on the outside. It makes whoever is preaching in this way look rude, and selfish to those on the outside of Christianity.

When preaching to or around others, to an extent, the time and place matters.
