    The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, in 1911, was one of the deadliest industrial disasters in US history. But what you may not realize is that this was one of the events that pushed states to start to require more safety measures in the workplace.GUESTS IN ORDERLULU LOLOArtist and activistSee more of Lulu’s work on her websiteRUTH SERGELArtist and agitatorGET INVOLVEDRemember the Triangle CoalitionThe Chalk ProjectCheck your brands factory conditions at Good on You and Ethical Fashion GuideREFERENCEShttps://www.osha.gov/oas/trianglefactoryfire.html photoshttp://troytaylorbooks.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-triangle-fire.html Graphic photoshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_Building_(Manhattan) Wikihttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xN8cjH5qfRk Overview of the firehttps://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/wills08/articles/j/a/c/Jacob_Kline_66b7.html Jacob Klinehttps://www.history.com/topics/early-20th-century-us/triangle-shirtwaist-fire Mentions refusal of owners to install sprinklershttps://www.firehouse.com/home/news/10517122/triangle-the-fire-that-changed-america - talks about corruptionhttps://www.huffpost.com/entry/why-the-triangle-shirtwai_b_5029158 - reform after the fireWhy its hard to pay a living wage: https://www.vox.com/2018/2/27/17016704/living-wage-clothing-factorieshttps://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/shirtwaist-kings/Audio retelling of fire: https://www.wnyc.org/story/119940-listen-wnyc-archives-triangle-shirtwaist-fire/Industrial disaster list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_industrial_disastershttps://americanhistory.si.edu/blog/triangleWhat is a shirtwaist: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/triangle-fire-what-shirtwaist/Fire escape taking 3 hours: https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjditC4mYfjAhVmiOAKHbj6DUAQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fgvshp.org%2Fblog%2F2011%2F03%2F02%2Fremembering-the-triangle-fire%2F&psig=AOvVaw1O3B2IpKVDT16VzO_HoEZ1&ust=1561640221999361https://historycollection.co/arson-accident-triangle-shirtwaist-factory-fire/The strike and conditions that improved with union involvement: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_shirtwaist_strike_of_1909Song http://open-archive.rememberthetrianglefire.org/triangle-song/http://open-archive.rememberthetrianglefire.org/angels-in-the-sky/Diagram of the building: http://trianglefire.ilr.cornell.edu/supplemental/3Dmodel.htmlPapers talking about stair deficiencies: https://gvshp.org/blog/2011/03/02/remembering-the-triangle-fire/Map of names: http://rememberthetrianglefire.org/the-names/Rana plaza: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/24/style/survivors-of-rana-plaza-disaster.htmlhttps://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-20522593 - Dhaka padlocking exitshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Dhaka_garment_factory_fire#cite_note-21 2012 Its major clients include Walmart, Carrefour and IKEA.[10]Rana plaza collapse: https://www.racked.com/2018/4/13/17230770/rana-plaza-collapse-anniversary-garment-workers-safetyBangladesh factory accidents: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-bangladesh-fire-factbox/factbox-major-industrial-accidents-in-bangladesh-in-recent-years-idUSKCN12C2PRhttps://cleanclothes.org/ua/2013/rana-plaza - other brands, childrens placehttps://directory.goodonyou.eco/ - brand ratingshttps://baptistworldaid.org.au/resources/2019-ethical-fashion-guide/ - brand ratings labour onlyhttps://www.forbes.com/sites/clareoconnor/2014/04/26/these-retailers-involved-in-bangladesh-factory-disaster-have-yet-to-compensate-victims/#3d383f99211b - joe freshhttps://www.greenamerica.org/green-purchasing-choose-fair-labor/tell-samsung/what-you-can-do-about-sweatshops - what you can do about sweatshops

    Part 2 of “Grossinger’s has everything” goes into the demise of not just the hotel but the Catskill area. This episode is part of a 2 part series; please listen to episode 1 to get the back story and see the post for images of what Grossinger’s looked like. On the find it website you can find my photos, followed by some from guest Marisa Scheinfeld (with permission) and then some from Harold.

    Grossinger's was an enormous resort that provided fun year round activities for decades. Dancing, skiing, tennis, they had it all. In fact it was the resort that inspired the film Dirty Dancing. This podcast will dive into the story of Grossinger's and the people shaped by it. A couple years back I posted a video about Grossinger’s resort in the Catskills, a once enormous 1200 acre vacation resort. I never visited the resort while it was open but I was struck by its beauty in its decay. I expected the video to get some views and comments but what I didnt expect is that It would get comments that inspired me to make a podcast. What I was struck by is the emotion and detail of these comments and I wanted to share them, but YouTube wasnt the right place for this, I needed a longer format. Podcast…thats it! So here we are, this is my first ever completed episode of the Find It podcast featuring those stories and more. I welcome your comments and questions.
