Podcasts about columbus avenue

This episode is a sequel podcast nearly five years in the making. We last talked with poet Josiah Luis Alderete back in 2020, over Zoom, in the early COVID days. In this podcast, we pick up, more or less, with where we left off that summer. Back in those days, Josiah Luis still worked at City Lights Bookstore in North Beach. He walks us through that store's process of rearranging around social-distancing protocols that were new at the time. He says that the early days of the pandemic meant hunkering down at home and reading-reading-reading. But once it was deemed safe to reopen City Lights, Josiah was really happy to be back. One of his coworkers at City Lights came up with the idea of doing poetry out the window onto Columbus Avenue. The first poet to read up there was Tongo Eisen-Martin. Josiah says that the reaction from passersby, the looks of joy on their faces, is one of his favorite memories from this time. Then we talk about Josiah's monthly Latinx reading series, Speaking Axolotl, which has been going strong for more than six years now. It started pre-pandemic in Oakland, pivoted to Zoom from early in the pandemic, and resumed in-person in the Mission once that was possible. But we're getting ahead of ourselves now. Josiah reminds us that he was evicted from his home in the Mission back during the first dotcom wave of the Nineties, and that he hadn't been able to move back until recently. Before getting the job at City Lights, he owned and ran a taco shop up in Marin for 20 years. He told himself toward the end of that long run that he never wanted to own a business again. But then he went into Alley Cat Books one day and was talking with that store's owner, Kate Razo. Josiah had been putting on events at Alley Cat for his friend for years, but now, Kate mentioned that she was considering selling the bookstore. To explain his reaction, Josiah begins to talk about how much the Mission means to him. Having given so much to him, his life and his poetry, Josiah felt he owed the neighborhood. He knew that if he didn't step up and take over the space as a book store, it would be prone to whatever trendy gentrifying business happened to move in. But he also knew that it would take a lot of work and a lot of money to do what he felt had to be done. And so he assembled a group of folks and they approached Kate Razo with an offer. That was in August. They opened Medicine for Nightmares a few months later, in November. He originally envisioned keeping his job at City Lights while helping to open the new store in the Mission. But the enormity of the task had other ideas. Some of those folks he'd gathered to do the work also fell off, which seems natural in hindsight. Nonetheless, defying odds and perhaps expectations, the new book store opened. Originally, after having gone through the Alley Cat book inventory and given much of that back to Kate, they opened “bare bones.” Around Day 2 or Day 3 of being open, Josiah realized that he couldn't be both there and City Lights. It was obvious that he needed to quit his job in North Beach, a tearful process he describes. We end Part 1 with Josiah taking listeners through the space that Medicine for Nightmares inherited from Alley Cat Books. Check back next week for Part 2 with Josiah Luis Alderete. We recorded this podcast at Medicine for Nightmares Bookstore and Gallery in February 2025. Photography by Mason J.

This week we have a new guest speaker—Trey Etter from Columbus Avenue! Trey speaks on how to have an Active faith

We have no shortage of talent here in the Greater Boston area, and for more than a decade, an organization called "Castle of our Skins" has been working to ensure the voices and stories of Black artists, performers, and musicians in our neighborhood are uplifted and appreciated. Recently, they were able to work with the city of Boston to secure a brand new home in Lower Roxbury, on Columbus Avenue. Co-Founder Ashleigh Gordon talks with Nichole about the group's history, mission, and plans for their new space, "Gold Hall".

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Info 2024 The annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City draws massive crowds, well over 1,000,000 people yearly. So, getting the correct info and knowing where to go can make all the difference between a positive and poor experience. Here's what you need to know.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for September 29, 2024 is: feckless • FECK-lus • adjective Feckless describes people or things that are weak or ineffective. // The agency's response to the dramatic increase in air pollution was well-intentioned but ultimately feckless. See the entry > Examples: "The players streamed down Columbus Avenue, serenading passersby with the Tilted Axes theme song; a pedestrian stopped and stared. When the Axes crossed Sixty-sixth Street, traffic momentarily isolated one bass player from the rest of the band, like a feckless baby elephant stranded on the veldt." — Henry Alford, The New Yorker, 22 July 2024 Did you know? A feckless person is lacking in feck. And what, you may ask, is feck? In Scots—our source of feckless—feck means "majority" or "effect." The term is ultimately an alteration of the Middle English effect. So something without feck is without effect, i.e., ineffective. In the past, feckful (meaning "efficient, effective," "sturdy," or "powerful") made an occasional appearance, but in this case, the weak has outlived the strong: feckless is a commonly used English word, but feckful has proven, well, feckless.

//The Wire//2300Z September 12, 2024////ROUTINE////BLUF: HURRICANE FRANCINE MAKES LANDFALL. RESIGNATION OF NYPD COMMISSIONER REPORTEDLY PENDING. MAN SELF-IMMOLATES IN THE VICINITY OF ISRAELI CONSULATE IN BOSTON.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------HomeFront-Louisiana: Hurricane Francine made landfall last night as a Category 2 hurricane, before rapidly losing strength and becoming a tropical depression. As of this report over 340,000 customers remain without power due to localized flooding and storm damage.New York: Local media reports that NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban is set to announce his resignation soon, amid the continuation of the federal corruption investigation.Massachusetts: A man self-immolated in Boston last night in the vicinity of Park Plaza and Columbus Avenue. No details have been provided by authorities regarding the man's condition, however he does appear to have survived the incident at the present moment, albeit with extremely severe burns.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: The incident in Boston has received very little mainstream media attention, and therefore very few details remain certain. However, it's possible that this situation has been influenced by deliberate misinformation efforts by mainstream media. Local media claims that the man set himself on fire outside the Four Seasons hotel. This is technically correct. However, across the street from the hotel is a small Israeli diplomatic station, the Boston Consulate for Israel. Considering this proximity, and the very high income nature of the area (in which these graphic incidents are rare) it's very likely that this was yet another horrific act of protest against Israel. The Saunders Building (across the street from where the incident occurred) has been the site of other protests against Israel as well, having been identified as the location for the diplomatic station many months ago by demonstrators.Analyst: S2A1//END REPORT//

Back in early Spring 2024 -- we net Bronx Public Defender Eli Northrup as he was beginning his run for NY State Assembly representative for the UWS. We were recording outside the Goddard Riverside Community Center at West 88th St and Columbus Avenue, talking to neighbors celebrating “Love Your Street Tree Day” – and Eli came up to our open mic.Eli placed second in the election for State Assembly. We invited Eli to talk about his experience of running for state office and his work as the “Policy Director for the Criminal Defense Practice at the Bronx Defenders” office. We began the conversation asking Eli about his NYU law school hip hop band “Pants Velour” and their quick hit “Charlie Sheen: Always Winning.” Eli shared his deep disappointment with losing the election and how his work as the policy director at the Bronx Public Defenders formed his political platform. At the midpoint of the conversation we talked about American citizens' looking for openness and honesty in a political scene rife with dishonesty. Hosted on Acast.

Now I'm an old man, in no rush, keeping an eye out for curbs and crevices and treacherous slabs of sidewalk, hoping not to make a spectacle of myself, knowing that in New York I am surrounded by writers, real or imagined, who would find the crash of a tall elderly author rather satisfying. Once I was swift afoot and long astride, and now I amble along, accepting distractions, my barber Tommy, a sculptor of hair, at work in his shop, and the newsstand, a historic relic, in the Online Age, and the security woman in her yellow vest at the schoolyard gate, and these beautiful children, apartment kids growing up on crowded streets, learning social skills. I had the Mississippi River and woods to go wander off alone in and so I picked up a pencil and a Roy Rogers tablet and wrote, as I am doing now. This is a public episode.

Tuesday, June 6th, 1944 at about 12:45 in the morning. We're at Bill Pogue's Bar on the Corner of 88th street and Columbus Avenue in Manhattan. I just finished a twelve hour shift. I need a nightcap before I go back into that low-hanging fog. Did you hear the President tonight? We took Rome. One up and two to go. ____________ Only the German outlets that are saying the invasion has started. Paris radio just aired news bulletins and didn't say anything. London radio told Hollanders to stay off bridges and roads, but that could be normal instructions. You want to know something? I don't think the Germans are lying. I think this is it. This is D-Day, June 6th, 1944. ____________ It's 3:30 in the morning on June 6th, 1944. I've just left CBS news headquarters at 485 Madison Avenue. I parked in Times Square on purpose. I wanted to see if there was any reaction. A few servicemen came out of a bar. I told them the news. They joined others in front of cabs who were tuned to either CBS or NBC. The news cutaway from band remotes sounded haunting. There are scattered lights in apartment windows and one radio shop, closed for the evening, has a loudspeaker blaring CBS. I won't be sleeping tonight. I've been assigned to take the temperature of the emotions people are feeling. The long and short of it is that we still have no allied confirmation about a French coastline invasion. The president was on the radio last night with one of his fireside chats talking about the allies taking Rome. If he knew something about France, he didn't tip his hand. Bob Trout should be on the air right about now. Bob's a good man. To kill time he was going to take his microphone into the CBS newsroom, giving a taste of what a nerve center is like with chaos brimming. 10PM New York time on June 5th was 4AM on the morning of the 6th in France. At that moment seven-thousand allied ships left England under cover of darkness. They were loaded with allied troops, primarily from Britain, the US, and Canada for Operation Overlord. The soldiers were split up to invade five landing points along the coast of northern France. The beachheads were code named Utah, Omaha, Gold, Sword, and Juno. At midnight, while I was drinking at Bill Pogue's allied bombers were bombarding the coastline. Personnel carriers flew inland to drop off paratroopers. The paratroopers' job was to attack bridges and seize several key points to cut off the Nazi supply lines. An hour later, while distracting the Germans at Pas-de-Calais, allied warships dropped anchor off the coast of Normandy to wait for dawn and provide cover for the landing ships. By 2AM, more than thirteen-thousand paratroopers had been dropped into France, with four-thousand more flying in on gliders. They continued landing troops for the next two hours. The Germans saw the paratroopers, but failed to grasp just how big the invasion was to be. By 5AM, Allied battleships had begun firing on the Nazi defenses while the first landing ships went ashore. German and Allied ships clashed in the first skirmishes at sea. As the sun rose, the landing operation was fully underway. The Allied battleships stopped firing as their landing boats approached the shore at 6:30AM, dubbed “H-Hour” for the designated moment of the invasion. The landing ships were tightly packed together. Allied troops dealt with heavy gunfire. Many men were killed before they could reach the beach. Nevertheless, the Allies managed to land their troops, and the fight for the beaches began.

Kate Rice is proof of the power of persistence and positivity while navigating a cancer journey. Rice, an award-winning journalist, received a diagnosis of stage 4 anaplastic thyroid cancer in October 2021 — and quickly applied the same dogged dedication that had served her reporting in support of her own survival. “When I was a reporter, none of my sources or desired sources could escape me. Sooner or later, they were going to have to talk to me, I just have that kind of determination,” Rice said. “And it wasn't so much that I wanted to find out about the cancer I got diagnosed with; I wanted to find out who could cure it.” Years before receiving her thyroid cancer diagnosis, Rice had learned there were what doctors described as “indeterminant” nodules on her thyroid and was told to monitor them. She noticed small lumps on her neck in June 2021 and was told she would have to wait six months or so to be examined.  Rice, who had previously had a benign tumor removed from her neck and a case of melanoma, searched for doctors who could see her sooner — and, upon finally receiving her diagnosis, was told “I'll pray for you” by a surgeon. Anaplastic thyroid cancer, according to the American Thyroid Association, occurs in less than 2% of patients with thyroid cancers, but it is one of the fastest-growing and most aggressive of all cancers overall. The disease's average survival rate is six months, and just approximately one-fifth of patients live longer than a year after receiving a diagnosis. Immediately after receiving her diagnosis, Rice began sourcing for potential solutions, starting with a group text to her inner circle of loved ones. “My cousin, who had been one of the first people I'd sent (a message to when I) cast that wide net out to try to get information, had promptly gone online and found that (The University of Texas) MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston had a clinic that specialized in this very rare (cancer) … and actually cured people with it. So, I got my diagnosis, I think, at two o'clock Friday afternoon, I was walking home up Columbus Avenue, I guess, and on the phone with MD Anderson, to get in there because I can jump on the phone with both feet.” Within days of receiving her diagnosis, Rice left New York City for Houston, Texas, seeking treatment from the Facilitating Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer Specialized Treatment Team at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Such determined self-advocacy, Rice said, is “absolutely essential.” “You have to stand up for yourself, you have to recognize that your doctors are specialists in whatever it is they're specialists in, but you're the specialist in your body,” she said. “And I knew something was going on. I mean, something was happening with my thyroid. Thyroid cancers, in general, are not the scariest cancers out there. They're serious cancers, and the treatment for a whole bunch of different thyroid cancers is not fun. But I knew this was something that was potentially a very big deal.  “And so when the first doctors I saw in New York were very relaxed and I couldn't get in to see a doctor I've been seeing for years because I had what are called indeterminate nodules on my thyroid — (which are) not malignant, but (they're) not benign, either — they were like, ‘Yeah, well, we can't get you in for six months, but that's OK,' I'm like, ‘No, not OK.' Even before I got the diagnosis, I was a pushy patient and we all have to do that. And the thing is, you're like, ‘Oh, I don't want to be much trouble. These guys are the pros, they know.' But really, you've got to listen to your body and stand up for yourself.” Following treatment at MD Anderson Cancer Center, Rice said she's “fine.” Now a radio disc jockey and ski instructor in Park City, Utah, she returns to Houston every six weeks for immunotherapy treatments at MD Anderson. She also documented her cancer journey in the 2023 book “Cured: A Tale of Badassery.” She has advice for fellow patients facing the long haul of a stage 4 cancer diagnosis. “Stay positive. Realize we all have to fight this cancer trauma that understandably, many people in this country, in this in the world, carry because we've seen terrible things happen to people we love, when my dad died of prostate cancer,” Rice said. “But, the thing to remember is so many cancers now are either curable or treatable and manageable. The whole thing is getting to the right place in time, which is a challenge with our healthcare system. But you really have to remember there is no such thing as false hope there is only hope.” For more news on cancer updates, research and education, don't forget to subscribe to CURE®'s newsletters here.

I interrupted writing for a while today to have a Zoom meeting about estate planning with a couple lawyers in Minneapolis and for a discussion centered on my own demise it was a lot of fun. We laughed a lot.They mentioned “legacy” and I laughed. What legacy? There's no such thing. Scripture promises resurrection but it isn't specific about the form we'll take, whether vegetable, mineral, gas, or spirit, meanwhile here I am on a sunny day in New York, sitting at a café on Columbus Avenue and watching the passing humanity, the great variety of gaits, brisk and propulsive, ambling, toddling, sidewalk surfing, window shopping, touristy uncertainty, geezerly gimpiness, and the aimless shuffle of people like me whose heads are full of irrelevancies.Garrison KeillorJason Keillor, EngineerJason Keillor, Original Music This is a public episode.

Welcome to another episode of The Modern Moron… my guest is producer, writer, actor Larry Dorf, yes, that Larry Dorf.  We have a very light early fall chat about a few subjects, namely:  We talk a little about some of the Modern Moron's more successful shows, one being on Phil Hendrie and his mastery of deception with his characters improvising with each other and his work on various animation projects from King of the Hill to Rick and Morty.   I refer to a story Larry told about an audition he had where he was being asked to play NBA legend Larry Bird's father, a story I will get to next time.  I'm sort of giving you this conversation backwards and here's why. Larry Brings up Adnan Syed, who has been released from prison after doing 20 years for a murder he did not commit.  His story was made famous by a podcast called “Serial” which was developed by “This American Life” that you know from NPR.  The podcast “Serial” is owned however, by The New York Times. You already know I'm a moron, so you won't be surprised to find that I am way late to the party on damn near everything and such is the case with the show “Only Murders In The Building”, which is a show about a podcast about a murder.  It's on Hulu and is into production of it's 4th season and I'm told that the show was based on the real podcast “Serial”.  I didn't realize how much… you hear that?  That's the theme music of the podcast “Serial” about Adnan Syed… And this… is the theme song to the Hulu series, “Only Murders in the Building”... Jezz, they could have at leas changed the key it's played in right? This brings up a subject I've been wanting to get to for some time and it's the concept of the Morally Dubious Podcaster.  It probably has other names, but i found an article with that phrase and I thought, “Morally Dubious?  Modern Moron”  They're synonymous. I read an article, have an unqualified opinion about it, say it into a microphone, bam; Morally dubious podcaster.  Only I'm not a celebrity and I don't have guests who are celebrities so, there's only the two of you listening and it works out about the same, just on a much, much smaller scale.  Plus I'm not pretending to try and crack a cold case or find a murderer.   So, Larry explains to me the case of Adnon Syed, and I'm oblivious as you can hear… like a typical old man, I can't seem to get the story straight…  Then Larry turns this into a potential gameshow along the lines of, “How much prison time would you do for a million dollars?”   This is what Hollywood people do for a living. We join our conversation basking in the glory of the first episode Larry did with us called “The Mystery of Mike Tyson” referring to the Adult Swim Animated series “Mike Tyson Mysteries” which is still our most downloaded episode.  Until this one…  CLOSE - And that, friends, is how a game show is created…  in South Korea.  Isn't that a little like the show “Squidgame”?  I couldn't stick with that show… it was too sad and dark for me.  I have enough of that crap running around in my head without watching a tv show about it.   Now that I've had two seconds to think about it, I would not do any time in a prison for any amount of money.  The subculture that goes on in prison is not something I want to pretend like I could tolerate even for a minute.  I did look up some of the lovely prisons both in California and across the country.  Pelican Bay and San Quentin are both nasty, gnarly prisons and so is the downtown county jail in Los Angeles.  Other residences I would not spend a minute in for any amount of money is the ADX, also known as the SuperMax in Colorado.  One article I read on the internet-so-it's-true… says that the structure is built in a way that inmates never see a guard or another prisoner.  I don't know if it's true, I don't want to know, I just trust that I don't want to go there.  Throw in Sing, Sing and Rikers Island in New York, and a few of the prisons in the deep south like The Holman Correctional Facility in Alabama and it just makes me want to be a law abiding citizen.  Why am I going on and on about prisons?  Well, I see in the news recently that a real sweetheart of a guy named Steve Bannon has been recommended to spend four months in prison for contempt of congress.  Hmm.  I wonder if one of the neighborhoods I just mentioned might be a good place for him?  Is anyone else thinking of the movie Deliverance right now?  Does anyone see a similarity between Ned Beaty's character and Steve Bannon?...  A couple of housekeeping items I'd like to pass along starting with two documentaries I'd like to recommend..  The first one is called “A Trip to Infinity” on Netflix.  I found it fascinating, I've watched it twice and am currently forcing my daughter to watch it in 10 minute increments.  Mathematicians, Cosmologists and physicists contemplate the concept of infinity… and it's broken up into different chapters: Infinity is very small, it's very large,infinity as a number in an equation, that the speed of light is both very fast and also very slow, that a circle is actually a polygon with an infinite number of points and in terms of time, infinity is a very very long time and that if you put an apple in an air tight box and wait for infinity years, that apple will eventually morph into anything and everything you could possibly imagine.  Even live versions of Rick and Morty.  So I highly recommend “A Trip to Infinity.” The other documentary is called “All Things Must Pass: The Rise and Fall of Tower Records”.  This subject matter is perfect for our demographic!  I'm sure you spent hours in Tower Records going up and down the isles looking at the amazing Album art that we took for granted then.  Isle after isle until you decided which album you were going to plunk down five dollars and change for, and then I think seven or eight and change and then I lost track.  But that was an important purchase.  And then I would have to sneak by the living room with my bright yellow and red plastic bag hoping my parents wouldn't ask me what I got.  They never did, but if my dad knew I was buying Cheech and Chong, Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy albums?  No way.   And we also had Tower Books and Tower Posters across the street which was actually a head shop where you got everything from bongs to rolling paper to posters of fruits and vegetables doing disgusting things, incense, trippy candles with psychedelic waxes, macrame'd hanging plant holders… Tower records was the best.  The documentary is available on YouTube and I believe right now you can stream it for free.  It's a great documentary.  The only woman who made it as an executive at Tower back in the 70's put it best when she said that whatever Tower records was the one you went to, you thought it was the first Tower Records they ever had.  The documentary is directed by Tom Hanks' son Colin and he does a great job bringing the nostalgia of Tower Records back, whether you found their store in San Francisco on Columbus Avenue or the one on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, Greenwich Village in New York or wherever you grew up, there was probably a Tower Records where you hung out. Elton John, Bruce Srpingsteen and Dave Grohl, who also worked at a Tower Records in Seattle, all reminisce about how special it was to roam the isles of a Tower Records.  Hanks also does a good job of not letting the documentary end on a downer, even though the internet and a little thing called Napster caused the Tower to crumble, the Japanese stores became independent and are still huge today.  Okay sports fans, that's it, enjoy post season baseball, college football and lots of Halloween candy!  We'll see you next time on the Modern Moron and… the old man show at the oldman-dot-show.

Guest Overview This week we welcome Mother and daughter team Barbara Anderson and Jackie Graham, Founders of Art on the Ave. This New York-based social impact initiative spotlights the work of under-represented artists and turns storefronts into exhibition spaces and streets into open-air galleries. In the first part of this interview, we ask Barbara about Jackie as a child and explore the impact of her mother and father on her life and career direction and work ethic. Jackie discusses her international upbringing and its influence on her sense of self and feeling of being a global citizen. We discuss how Jackie's character and organizational skills were evident at an early age and how curiosity was cultivated. Jackie discusses education and her focus on the art business and how a serendipitous summer internship opened her eyes to the value of accessibility to the arts, ultimately preparing her for the work she and Barbara are doing with Art on the Avenue. We talk about the role of art in teaching children about socio-cultural moments in history. Then we dive into their work with Art on the Ave, launching it as a response to the pandemic, the shuttered stores, barren windows, and deserted neighborhoods in New York's upper west side, with the aim of supporting local artists and bringing life back to the streets. Turning New York's Columbus Avenue's empty storefronts into a gallery space, Art on the Ave has reimagined street art and democratizes art spaces and community art access. Their second exhibition launches in the West Village and runs from April 15th through May. After over 150 submissions to their latest exhibition, their curated works will be displayed along Bleecker Street, Christopher Street, and Hudson Street, creating what Barbara calls the West Village wander.Through organizations like Art on the Ave are reimagining the role of art in communities, its impact on what a neighborhood is, while creating new commercial opportunities for artists.

Ep. 81Dozier school for boysOn our train ride today we are heading to sunny Florida. This is much more than a "Florida man" story. This is a crazy story of one of the worst boys schools ever to exist. There were many of these return schools around the country but this place has a reputation as one of the worst. It's been known by several names over the years but most people know it as the Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys . We're gonna talk about the history and atrocities that happened at this school that opened January 1, 1900 and just closed on June 30, 2011. A 111 year reign of terror! Here we go! The school was located in Marianna Florida and covered 1400 acres. A second campus was opened in the town of Okeechobee in 1955.  The school was first organized under an 1897 act of the legislature and began operations on the Marianna campus on January 1, 1900, as the Florida State Reform School. It was overseen by five commissioners appointed by the governor William Dunnington Bloxham, who were to operate the school and make biennial reports to the legislature. Some time thereafter, the commissioners were replaced by the governor and cabinet of Florida, acting as the Board of Commissioners of State Institutions. In 1914, the name was changed to the Florida Industrial School for Boys and in 1957 to the Florida School for Boys. In 1955, the Okeechobee campus opened. In 1967, the name of the Marianna campus was changed to the Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys, in honor of a former superintendent of the school.The Marianna site was originally divided into north and south sides. South side was known as "Number 1" and was for white students only, while the North side was"number 2" and for black students only. The school remained segregated until 1966. Boot Hill cemetery was located on the north side. In 1929, an 11-room concrete block detention building, also containing two cells (one for white, and one for black students), was constructed to house incorrigible or violent students, the site at the time not being fenced. Students called it "The White House".  In the 1950s and 1960s, it was the site of most beatings of students. After corporal punishment at the school was abolished in 1967, the building was used for storage. Shortly before the facility was closed, Dozier was a fenced, 159-acre "high-risk" residential facility for 104 boys aged 13 to 21 who had been committed there by a court; their average length of stay at Dozier was nine to twelve months. They lived in several cottages, with each boy having an unlocked room. In 1903 an inspection uncovered that children at the school were commonly kept in leg irons. After this the school was investigated 6 times in its first 13 years. In 1914 there was a fire in one of the dorms. The fire killed six students and two staff members.  During the spanish flu epidemic in 1918 it was recorded that eleven students died but they were not named and documented in the recorded burials of the Boot Hill Cemetery. A 13 year old boy was sent there in 1934 and died 38 days later. There's no record of what caused his death. In 1968, Florida Governor Claude Kirk said, after a visit to the school where he found overcrowding and poor conditions, that "somebody should have blown the whistle a long time ago." At this time, the school housed 564 boys, some for offenses as minor as school truancy, running away from home, or "incorrigibility", including cigarette smoking. They ranged in age from ten to sixteen years old. The White House was closed in 1967. Officially, corporal punishment at the school was banned in August 1968. In 1969, as part of a governmental reorganization, the school came under the management of the Division of Youth Services of the newly created Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services. There were 81 school-related deaths of students from 1911 to 1973. Thirty-one of these boys were said to be buried on the school grounds, with other bodies "shipped home to families or buried in unknown locations." There are 31 simple crosses as grave markers at the cemetery, installed in the 1960s and 1990s, but they have been found not to correspond to specific burials. An inspection done in 1982 revealed that boys were hogtied and kept in isolation for weeks at a time! A lawsuit was filed by the ACLU over this issue and several other issues at this facility and three other juvenile facilities in Florida. At this point the school was housing 105 students aged 13-21. In 1985, the media reported that young ex-students of the school, sentenced to jail terms for crimes committed at Dozier, had subsequently been the victims of torture by guards at the Jackson County jail. The teens were usually hanged but handcuffs to the bars of their cells usually for an hour at a time. The guards said that this practice was approved by their superiors. In 1994, the school was placed under the management of the newly created Florida Department of Juvenile Justice, which operated the school until its closure in 2011. By this time, the school had facilities to house 135 inmates. Many of the boys sent there had been convicted of rape or of committing "lewd acts on other children". On September 16, 1998, a resident of the school lost his right arm in a washing machine. A lawsuit was filed against the institution and the plaintiff was awarded an undisclosed amount in 2003. In April 2007, the acting superintendent of the school and one other employee were fired following allegations of abuse of inmates.[24] The state officially acknowledged that abuses had taken place there; the White House Boys, a growing group of adult survivors who had been held there in the 1950s and 1960s, were speaking out to the press. In October 2008, several of them attended a ceremony to install a historic plaque at the White House that acknowledged that past. The news was carried nationwide.[14] In late 2009, the school failed its annual inspection. Among other problems, the inspection found that the school failed to deal properly with the numerous complaints by the boys held there, including allegations of continued mistreatment by the guards. State Representative Darryl Rouson said the system was struggling to move on from a longstanding "culture of violence and abuse".[16] The U.S. Department of Justice conducted a survey of 195 US facilities, including the Florida School For Boys. According to its 2010 report, 11.3% of boys surveyed at the school reported that they had been subject to sexual abuse by staff using force in the last twelve months, and 10.3% reported that they had been subject to it without the use of force. 2.2% reported sexual victimization by another inmate. DOJ said these percentages meant the home was deemed to have neither "high" nor "low" rates of sexual victimization compared with the other institutions assessed in the survey.[25] In July 2010, the state announced its plan to merge Dozier with JJOC, creating a single new facility, the North Florida Youth Development Center, with an open campus and a closed campus. However, the following year, claiming "budgetary limitations," the state decided to close both facilities on June 30, 2011. Remaining students were sent to other juvenile justice facilities around the state.[4] After Hurricane Michael, the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office was given the property, now known as ‘Endeavor’, to relocate from their damaged offices. So there you have a condensed history of the school and the site. Now we're going to get into the crazy shit that went on there. First we have the story of Willy Haynes and his experience with the school and the infamous Whitehouse. The story comes from an incredible article from the Tampa Bay Times. In the late 1950s, a 13-year-old kid who slicked back his long hair like Elvis stood in front of a judge in Tampa. A car had been stolen from the neighborhood. Someone said they saw Willy Haynes driving it. Willy didn't know how to drive, but the judge didn't know that. Here was a boy who grew up in a little house off Columbus Avenue, in Six Mile Creek, a scrappy neighborhood on Tampa's eastern edge, where a poor kid learned early how to protect himself. When the judge warned the boy to behave or he'd be sent to reform school in Marianna, Willy surprised the court. Why can't I go now? He had heard the Florida School for Boys had a band and a football team and maybe even Boy Scouts, and it didn't cost a penny to participate. He kissed his mother goodbye at the courthouse and left Tampa in the back of a state cruiser. Big, beautiful, oblivious Florida blurred by outside the window. Willy wasn't scared as the state car pulled onto the gravel road that led to the state's only boys' juvenile reformatory, the Florida School for Boys. No fences. Manicured lawns. Tall pines and stately buildings. It looked like college. It had to be better than home. Inside, he signed a ledger. William Haynes Jr. April 11, 1958. A boy escorted Willy Haynes to Tyler Cottage and told him to keep his belongings in Locker No. 252. He was given a toothbrush and pajamas and his own military bunk. The poor kid from Tampa felt like he was finally home. He was there barely a week when it happened. Some bullies caught him outside the showers, and the next thing he knew he was in the middle of a tangle of feet and fists. Willy knew how to fight, and he was choking one of his attackers in a headlock when a cottage father busted in. The school's disciplinarian, R.W. Hatton, asked Willy who he had been fighting, but the boy would not give up the names. Better to be punished than be branded a puke. You're going down, Hatton told him. They dragged him across that manicured campus, toward the squat concrete building called the White House. They dragged him through the door. Willy Haynes, who had asked the judge to send him here, who had wanted to throw a football under the pines. Over 18 months, the men dragged Willy into the White House again and again. Lay down. Hold the rail. Don't make a sound. He could hear the strap coming. It started with the pivot, the shuffle of boots on concrete. The strap hit the wall, then the ceiling, then thighs and buttocks and back, and it felt like an explosion. When he got back to the cottage, Willy stood in the shower and let the cold water wash bits of underwear from his lacerations, as his blood ran toward the drain.   Many others suffered the same horrors as Willy. As the boys grew up the memories stayed with them as they became men. Many sporting both physical and mental scars. Some of these men gathered at the Florida School for Boys on Oct. 21, 2008. Again from the Tampa Bay Times article:        "The last time they had stepped on this sprawling campus, they were fresh-faced punks with the world before them. Now their hair was gray and their faces sagged. Their backs ached from a night in motel beds. They carried pictures of children and grandchildren in their wallets. Dick Colon had flown in from Baltimore, where he owns an electrical contracting company. The 65-year-old was tormented by the memory of seeing a boy being stuffed into an industrial dryer. Next to him stood Michael O'McCarthy, a writer and political activist from Costa Rica, who was beaten so badly he was treated at the school infirmary. To his left was Roger Kiser, a Chicken Soup for the Soul contributor who had driven down from Brunswick, Ga., bent on retribution. On the end was a quiet man named Robert Straley, who sells glow lights and carnival novelties. He drove up from Clearwater. He had been having recurring nightmares of a man sitting on his bed. Then there was Willy Haynes. He was 65 and went by Bill now. A tall, broad man, Haynes had worked for 30 years for the Alabama Department of Corrections. Haynes didn't feel good. There were plenty of places he'd rather be. But he knew he had to do this." The men now called themselves the White House Boys.  According to the article The men remember the same things:          "blood on the walls, bits of lip or tongue on the pillow, the smell of urine and whiskey, the way the bed springs sang with each blow. The way they cried out for Jesus or mama. The grinding of the old fan that muffled their cries. The one-armed man who swung the strap. They remember walking into the dark little building on the campus of the Florida School for Boys, in bare feet and white pajamas, afraid they'd never walk out." According the the men boys were dragged to the White House in ones and twos and threes, and sometimes there was a line outside, and sometimes a white dog kept watch." The white house boys are former students who had been held at the school in the 1950s and 1960s began to share accounts of abuses that they had suffered or observed against students.  By the early 2000s, there were about 400 members, survivors of this school from the 1950s and 1960s. Since the early 2000s, members of the group began to speak publicly about their experiences to the media, and to challenge the state to investigate practices and personnel at the school. More than 300 men have publicly recounted abuse and torture at the school. The survivors have had some internal struggles and set up more than one website.  In 2009, the Florida School for Boys was the subject of an extensive special report. Allegations focusing on the 1960s included claims that one room was used for whipping white boys and another for black boys. The whippings were carried out by guards using a 3-foot-long belt made of leather and metal and were so severe that the victim's underwear could become embedded in his skin. One former student said that he had seen a boy trapped in a running laundry dryer at the school and suspected the boy was killed. One former student stated he was punished in the White House eleven times, receiving a total of more than 250 lashes. Others alleged they were whipped until they lost consciousness and that the punishments were made harsher for boys who cried. Some alumni also stated there was a "rape room" at the school, where boys were sexually abused by guards. The complainants said some of the victims were as young as nine years old. In February 2010, the White House Boys filed a class action suit for damages against the state government, but it was dismissed by a judge in Leon County, Florida, because the statute of limitations had run out for such a suit. A bill introduced in the 2012 session of the Florida Legislature to provide compensation to victims of abuse at the school failed to pass. There have been many positions throughout the years but no real investigations until 2008. On December 9, 2008, Florida Governor Charlie Crist directed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) to investigate the allegations of abuse, torture, and murder recounted by the White House Boys and their law firm. It took two years for the findings to be released.  The FDLE conducted more than one hundred interviews of former students, family members of former students, and former staff members of the school during the 15-month investigation, but no concrete evidence was found linking any of the student deaths to the actions of school staff, or that there had been attempts by staff to conceal deaths. None of the graves were opened during the investigation.(The investigation determined that the thirty-one graves at the facility had been dug between 1914 and 1952.) A forensic examination of the "White House" was conducted. No trace evidence of blood on the walls was found. Some former Dozier students told investigators that they felt they had "needed the discipline." Troy Tidwell, who was a staff member at the school during that period, said that punishments in the White House were not excessive. He said staff used the leather strap because they were concerned that spankings with wooden paddles, as had previously taken place, might injure the boys. Department of Justice, 2011 In its December 2011 report of its investigation at the Dozier School, the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice made the following findings about staff at the school, who were cited for use of excessive force, inappropriate isolation, and extension of confinement: The youth confined at Dozier and at JJOC were subjected to conditions that placed them at serious risk of avoidable harm in violation of their rights protected by the Constitution of the United States. During our investigation, we received credible reports of misconduct by staff members to youth within their custody. The allegations revealed systemic, egregious, and dangerous practices exacerbated by a lack of accountability and controls. . . . These systemic deficiencies exist because State policies and generally accepted juvenile justice procedures were not being followed. We found that . . . staff did not receive minimally adequate training. We also found that proper supervision and accountablity measures were limited and did not suffice to prevent undue restraints and punishments. Staff failed to report allegations of abuse to the State, supervisors, and administrators. Staff members often failed to accurately describe use of force incidents and properly record use of mechanical restraints.  The University of South Florida 2012-2014: Dr. Erin Kimmerle is a forensic anthropologist and University of South Florida Associate Professor who had led a USF team of anthropologists, biologists, and archaeologists exploring the Marianna campus in a project authorized by the state. The stories of the White House Boys piqued her interest, as she had worked with international groups to identify remains and burials in areas of warfare. She thought the specialists at her university could aid the state in identifying undocumented areas of burial by using current technology and scientific techniques. She was especially curious why there are no records of the locations of the burials, as is customary at state prisons, hospitals and similar institutions.In 2012, the team used ground-penetrating radar and some excavation to identify where bodies are buried. However, in order to determine if the cause of death was from injury, illness, or murder, the bodies must be exhumed. Given the long history of reported violence at the school, many people believe that some students died because of abuse. Under existing law, exhumations can be done only at the request of a family member. But many of the burials are of students who were here in the early 20th century, and records make it difficult to identify their families. By December 2012, the researchers indicated that they had located 55 graves on the grounds. Given that they had documented nearly 100 deaths at the school, the team believed that a second cemetery was likely to exist. Thomas Varnadoe was sent to the Florida School for Boys in 1934 and died there a month later. His nephew, Glen Varnadoe, came forward in 2012 saying that he wanted to have his uncle's remains exhumed for reinterment at his family's cemetery near Lakeland. He had visited Dozier School in the 1990s, and a staff member showed him where his uncle might be buried. That location was not the same as the area where the most recent burials were found. The state originally limited the USF team to searching the existing, delineated cemetery grounds, saying they did not have the authority to order exhumation of graves. Researchers discuss work revealed that using the remains they did find on site, they made seven DNA identifications and 14 other presumptive matches. Many of the unmarked burial sites studied are thought to be of black students, who were segregated at the school. The team found that three times as many black students died and were buried at Dozier than white students, and that some of those boys were incarcerated for non-criminal charges like running away and incorrigibility. Black boys were less likely to be named in historical records, as well, reflecting the grim realities of reform school life in the segregated South. They eventually uncovered a students family had actually been sent a coffin filled with planks of wood after a boy named Thomas Curry died there under "Suspicious Circumstances while escaping". The ledger entry at the Dozier school said he was “killed on RR Bridge Chattahoochee, Fla.” Another document at Old Cathedral Cemetery in Philadelphia says he was “killed by train.” No one from Dozier ever reported his death to the state. He was returned in a casket to his family, who, in turn, buried him in Philadelphia. Or so the family thought. It wasn’t until a state investigation beginning in 2008 that Curry’s death certificate was found at Dozier. It said he died of a crushed skull from an “unknown cause.”  And it wasn’t until 2014, when University of South Florida anthropologists who have been working to unearth and identify remains on the former campus visited Philadelphia with Pennsylvania authorities, that the family learned Curry wasn’t in the casket – no bones, no clothing, no sign of him at all. “Wood. Layers of pieces of wood,” said anthropologist Erin Kimmerle, explaining what she and her team found in the casket. “It was completely filled with wooden planks.” At first, the team thought they had the wrong grave, but then they found Curry’s great-grandparents beneath the wood-filled casket… Definitely some weird shit going on here. In January 2016, the USF team issued their final report. They had made a total of seven DNA matches and 14 presumptive identifications from the 51 remains found at the site. A total of 55 burials were identified, but only 13 were made within the cemetery grounds, and "the rest of the graves were outside... in the woods, including under a roadway, brush, and a large mulberry tree." While they had documented 98 deaths at the site, they were unable to identify any more burials on the grounds. Some bodies may have been sent home to students' families. The USF team will continue to work with other organizations and families on DNA and other means of identification of the remains that were found. They created computer facial approximations from remains to help with identification. A number of families, including the Glen Varnadoe family, have filed requests to have the remains of their children or relatives repatriated. In March 2014, Governor Rick Scott signed a bill authorizing up to $7500 per burial for those families who wanted to reinter the remains of relatives identified in unmarked graves at the Florida School for Boys. This followed the University of South Florida's report in January, which said they had been able to make matches of 21 sets of remains to known families. In addition, the bill proposes creating a task force to establish a memorial, "as well as deciding how to handle the remains of bodies that have yet to be identified or claimed by families.  The white house boys also fought to have the bodies of orphans and those that were unidentified to be reinterred far away from the ground at Dozier. In as late as 2019 they are still finding what could possibly be unmarked graves. Dr. Erin Kimmerle again began an investigation of 27 "anomalies" discovered by an engineering firm hired by the state's Department of Environmental Protection to help clean-up following Hurricane Michael, according to Florida's Department of State. Though the 27 anomalies discovered by radar are "consistent with possible graves," according to Governor Ron DeSantis, only fieldwork will determine whether human remains are present at the site. The 27 "anomalies" are located less than 200 yards from a section on the Dozier school property known as Boot Hill Cemetery, where, previously, USF researchers found 55 graves. Unfortunately in an update we found it turns out Kimmerle's team said those anomalies were mostly roots from pine trees moved from the area years ago. Survivor Charlie Fudge and friend Rachel McCoy pleaded to be allowed on the property during future surveys. Fudge said he remembers a graveyard being on the east side of a set of buildings on the property, near Old Air Base Road.  "I could sit on my cottage bench and see that cemetery," Fudge said. "My mind at 12 years old remembers that cemetery." Kimmerle said her team did not find anything abnormal in that area, but nearby there is an established, fenced-in historic cemetery.  McCoy, who attended the presentation with Fudge, said letting the men on the property to assist is "what they need." Fudge said he hopes the White House does not get bulldozed over when the property is cleaned up in the future. "That's very meaningful to me and the other men," he said. "I'm just an old guy, who went there 60 years ago, and went through hell." John Bell, who spent eight months at the school, also spoke and said the school was managed by "corrupt officials of the state of Florida" and "it's been going on for way too long." In 2017, the state formally apologized to the survivors and families for the abuses and deaths that happened at Dozier. More than 500 former Dozier students have come forward over the years to report physical, sexual and mental abuse at the hands of those who worked there.On June 29th 2020, Neil Davis, the oldest member of The White house boys passed away in a nursing home. He never told most of his family, including his children, that he had been at Dozier and what he'd gone through.  The white house boys vow to keep fighting for the rights of the victims.      "There are still 180 people not accounted for," she said. "We could lay it to rest. They're not just public, they were there. Let them walk the property." Fudge said "We the White House boys; we know what has happened in that school," he said. "It's not going to be over until we say it's over." There are some really great news articles used for this episode. There was a really great series of articles from The St Pete Times that were reprinted by the Tampa Bay Times that we recommend checking out. Also NPR has a ton of good info as well.  Imdb list of 15 horror movies about school https://m.imdb.com/list/ls022490849/  The Midnight Train Podcast is sponsored by VOUDOUX VODKA.www.voudoux.com Ace’s Depothttp://www.aces-depot.com BECOME A PRODUCER!http://www.patreon.com/themidnighttrainpodcast Find The Midnight Train Podcast:www.themidnighttrainpodcast.comwww.facebook.com/themidnighttrainpodcastwww.twitter.com/themidnighttrainpcwww.instagram.com/themidnighttrainpodcastwww.discord.com/themidnighttrainpodcastwww.tiktok.com/themidnighttrainp And wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts. Subscribe to our official YouTube channel:OUR YOUTUBE

Este artículo apareció en la edición impresa de EL PAÍS el Domingo 4 de septiembre de 2011: Recuerdo de aquellos días que iba por la calle con la determinación instintiva de fijarme en todo tal y como lo vieran mis ojos, sin veladuras de interpretación o de opinión; ir mirando, escuchar, percibir los olores, aislar las sensaciones, contar lo que veía como si fuera una cámara, como cuando Christopher Isherwood dice eso al principio de Adiós a Berlín, "Soy una cámara". No había vuelos comerciales a la ciudad. No había en ese momento nadie de la corresponsalía del periódico. Elvira y yo habíamos llegado con tres de nuestros hijos a Nueva York diez días antes, con el propósito de que ella descansara del agosto laborioso que había tenido en España escribiendo una crónica diaria. Yo empezaría a dar unas clases en la City University a principios de octubre. Septiembre sería el mes de vacaciones que no habíamos tenido aún ese año, y como los hijos no habían estado nunca en la ciudad, nosotros nos convertiríamos de nuevo en turistas para enseñársela a ellos. Uno o dos días antes habíamos bajado en metro a las Torres Gemelas. A ellos les hizo mucha sensación que la estación estuviera en el vestíbulo de una de las torres, un gran espacio cóncavo en el que resonaban siempre los pasos atareados de la gente, ejecutivos y turistas, repartidores de comida, empleados de las oficinas. Yo había estado allí en mi primer viaje a Nueva York, en 1990, con un grupo de escritores españoles, entre ellos Bernardo Atxaga y José María Guelbenzu. Había subido con ellos al mirador de la planta más alta, con la camaradería del asombro, viendo desde allí, hacia el Norte, la amplitud selvática de la ciudad; hacia el Oeste, el Hudson; hacia el Sur, la boca del océano, el horizonte en el que se distinguían en la bruma las torres picudas de Ellis Island y la estatua de la Libertad, los paisajes invariables del turismo. Aquel día muy caluroso de septiembre de 2001 se nos hizo tarde para subir al mirador o a los adultos nos pudo la desgana y aplazamos el ascenso para un poco después. Al fin y al cabo teníamos un mes entero, y las torres estarían allí, invariables, mucho más atractivas para la mirada de lejos que de cerca, como estaría el Empire State y la estatua de la Libertad, o como está en Roma el Coliseo o en París la torre Eiffel, a medias reales y a medias espejismos turísticos, calderilla visual de postales y souvenirs, de recordatorios kitsch con baño de oro falso o lucecitas interiores. La imaginación es fatalista; se acostumbra enseguida a lo que ya ha sucedido: ahora ya no sabemos recordar el estupor de que de un día para otro las dos torres no existieran, ni siquiera nosotros, que estábamos allí, que tantas veces a lo largo de estos diez años hemos respondido a la pregunta, cómo era estar en Nueva York la mañana del 11 de septiembre, salir a la calle, acercarse lo más posible a la frontera que establecieron las vallas de la policía, primero en Houston, luego un poco más al sur, en Canal Street, delimitando una parte de la ciudad que se volvía del todo fantasmal en cuanto caía la noche, cuando en los controles solo le permitían el paso a quien llevara uniforme de policía o de bombero o a quien mostrara con un documento de identidad que vivía o había vivido en la zona. La escala verdadera del horror la escondía el secreto. No se podía pasar más allá de un cierto punto, y durante semanas el solar inmenso de escombros donde habían estado las torres permaneció tapado por altas pantallas de plástico o lona. No se veían fotos de heridos o de muertos. La pornografía visual a la que se entregaron algunos medios desalmados en España después del 11 de marzo de 2004 no se permitió en Nueva York. Tampoco la inmundicia de la gresca política a costa de las víctimas. De modo que de un día para otro ya no éramos turistas, sino enviados especiales del periódico, y teníamos que mandar crónicas veloces de lo que veíamos, y al mismo tiempo adaptarnos a una incertidumbre demasiado absoluta como para que la haya preservado bien el recuerdo. La memoria hace trampa porque ahora sabemos lo que vino después, igual que hace trampa para convertir en natural lo que era inaudito. Había que fijarse en todo y había que vencer el miedo a que continuaran sucediendo cosas atroces. Después de que un avión colisionara contra una de las torres había aparecido en el cielo un segundo avión que atravesó la otra en una catástrofe de fuego. Cuando apenas nos adaptábamos a la imposibilidad de que una torre se hubiera derrumbado en unos segundos ya se estaba derrumbando la otra. Aviones militares atronaban el cielo volando muy bajo y proyectaban sus siluetas exactas sobre las calles y sobre las fachadas de los edificios. Pero cada nuevo avión podía ser otro emisario de catástrofe, lo mismo que cada largo alarido de sirena podía indicar un nuevo atentado. Estábamos en una isla unida al mundo exterior por unos cuantos puentes y túneles. De pronto se habían cortado las conexiones telefónicas. Quizá de un momento a otro se cortara la luz eléctrica o el suministro de agua. Nada que ocurriera sería menos inverosímil que lo que ya había sucedido. En la radio decían que un avión o un misil se habían estrellado contra el Pentágono, que otro avión podía estar dirigiéndose hacia la Casa Blanca. Los chicos, alucinados, miraban el televisor y desayunaban leche con galletas, mucho menos asustados que nosotros. Era preciso fijarse en todo. Ser una cámara, un testigo absoluto. En el supermercado, la gente compraba cosas metódicamente y en silencio. Qué se debe comprar en esas circunstancias: botellas de agua, pan de molde, comida congelada, leche, cereales. Pero por qué no también bombillas, velas, alimentos no perecederos por si se corta la electricidad y no funciona el frigorífico, quién sabe. Nadie sabe. Nadie sabía. No saber conducía al aturdimiento más que al miedo. Buscábamos cestas de plástico para poner las cosas, pero ya no quedaban. La gente llevaba lo que quería comprar en las manos. Sin una cesta de plástico, el número de artículos que se pueden acarrear es muy limitado. En las colas perfectamente ordenadas de las cajas nadie hablaba. Se oía el tecleo en las cajas registradoras y el pitido del láser al reconocer los códigos de barras y la cantinela sempiterna de las cajeras neoyorquinas: Next? (¿el siguiente?). A diferencia de lo simbólico o lo literario, lo real subyuga porque es específico. Nueva York en la mañana del ataque a las Torres Gemelas no era lo que nosotros veíamos. Eso lo veía cualquiera en cualquier parte del mundo, en la pantalla de un televisor. Nosotros veíamos un cielo limpio y sereno -el viento llevaba el humo hacia el este, hacia Brooklyn- y esa plaza que se forma en la confluencia de Broadway con Columbus Avenue a la altura de la Calle 66, donde hay una boca de metro y un busto poco afortunado de Leonard Bernstein, rodeado de sillas y mesitas metálicas en las que la gente se sienta a tomar el sol, comer un sándwich o hablar por teléfono. La boca del metro estaba abierta, pero nadie entraba ni salía por ella. Es una estación de la línea 1, la que pasaba por las torres. En los ventanales de las aulas de la Juilliard School no se veían músicos jóvenes ensayando. No se percibían cambios radicales en las cosas, tan solo diferencias de grado: un poco menos tráfico; más gente subiendo por la acera de Broadway a media mañana, cuando deberían haber estado en las oficinas. Mujeres enérgicas con trajes de chaqueta y zapatillas deportivas; hombres con corbata y con la chaqueta del traje al hombro, fatigados por el calor y las largas caminatas. Era ese tiempo ahora tan lejano en el que no todo el mundo iba por la calle con un móvil adherido a la oreja. Alguien se paraba en una esquina para marcar un número y no conseguía respuesta. Alguien escuchaba con el teléfono en el oído y con una expresión de estupor o de pánico. Aprendíamos con extrañeza que la normalidad y el desastre pueden ser simultáneos. En un extremo de la ciudad, los supervivientes caminan extraviados por un desierto de ceniza en el que el humo y el polvo lo envuelven todo en una noche apocalíptica y unos kilómetros más al norte un camarero con chaquetilla negra limpia las mesas de un restaurante al aire libre y un vagabundo demente habla y gesticula solo en un banco de una plazoleta, bajo una estatua de Dante. A la mañana siguiente, según se bajaba hacia el sur, una gasa de humo y ceniza debilitaba la luz del sol convirtiéndola en una claridad anaranjada. Por Union Square y Washington Square y las calles del Village, mucha gente llevaba mascarillas. Como no había tráfico, se escuchaba por todas partes un rumor multiplicado de pasos. Al fondo de las calles donde hasta ayer mismo habían estado las Torres Gemelas ahora ascendía una sola torre de humo negro mucho más alta. Partículas invisibles de polvo y de humo y ceniza picaban en la garganta. Luego comprendimos que en aquel aire que respirábamos habría también partículas volatizadas de los cuerpos humanos que nadie llegó a ver. La gente iba perdida de un lado para otro desconociendo los lugares más habituales, que de repente ya eran otros, como trastornados por la dislocación de los sueños. El día antes, a las nueve menos cinco de la mañana, una amiga nuestra había dejado a sus dos hijos en la escuela, justo al norte de las torres, y había regresado a casa con el alivio de quedarse sola a esa hora todavía fresca. Unos minutos después tomaba un café mirando perezosamente por la ventana de la cocina y lo que vio de pronto enmarcado en ella fue el apocalipsis, y salió corriendo a la calle para buscar a sus hijos. En Brooklyn Hights, otro amigo salía a cuidar el pequeño jardín que tenía en la terraza y al levantar los ojos vio una torre ardiendo y un avión que se acercaba en línea recta a la otra y que no podía ser verdad. Un directivo de un banco español al que conocí años más tarde acababa de salir de una de las torres y al mirar hacia arriba vio cómo un cielo negro se desplomaba sobre él y echó a correr y no recuerda lo que hizo durante los siguientes minutos ni cómo se salvó. El estupor nos ayudaba a dejar en suspenso todo lo que no fuera la percepción sensorial de las cosas: el filtro sucio de la luz, la ligera aspereza del aire, las caras de resucitados de los supervivientes que salían del hospital St. Vicent's, el tormento incesante de las sirenas, los bosques de velas ardiendo a la caída de la noche en Union Square y en Washington Square y casi en cualquier esquina, las velas, los ramos y los vasos de flores debajo de las fotografías de los desaparecidos, las pequeña banderas y las lámparas votivas, las calles oscuras y desiertas y el parpadeo azulado de los televisores en todas las ventanas. Y el olor que no parecía que fuera a irse nunca, enquistado al cabo de los días en las estaciones de metro más cercanas a la catástrofe, el olor que si volviéramos a percibirlo nos devolvería la atmósfera exacta de lo que fue aquel tiempo: olor a ceniza mojada y a partículas infinitesimales de carne putrefacta. * Este artículo apareció en la edición impresa del Domingo, 4 de septiembre de 2011

Check out an especially lyrical episode of This Is Happening! This week, Nathan and Eric warmly welcome Armenian-English author, actress, and filmmaker Victoria Harwood Butler-Sloss to talk about her first book, The Seamstress of Ourfa, an epic and sweeping tale of a family forced into exile by genocide. Inspired by her own family history, Victoria conjured a trilogy tracing a family's journey. The Seamstress of Ourfa is the first book in that trilogy and spans the turn of the nineteenth century in the Ottoman Empire to 1960's Cyprus. Victoria's vividly captures Armenian culture and a lineage of amazingly strong women. By turns hilarious, achingly romantic, and devastating, this book's magical beauty is undeniable. Victoria also tells us about her origins as a dancer in London, her training at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, and her career as an actress in British film, television, and theater before moving to Los Angeles with her husband and starting a family. In addition to writing epics, Victoria is a mother, voice actor, and filmmaker. If you're in New York, don't miss the chance to see Victoria reading from and speaking about The Seamstress of Ourfa presented by Harper's Magazine on Thursday February 7 at 7pm at Book Culture on Columbus, 450 Columbus Avenue. Published by Armida Books, The Seamstress of Ourfa is available at Amazon, as an ebook from Google Play, and at bookstores everywhere.

On June 12, 1968, a widowed Coretta Scott King stood before Harvard's outgoing senior class in place of her husband, Martin Luther King, Jr. Only months after her husband's assassination and in the midst of a tumultuous year, Scott King urged the young crowd to carry forth MLK's mission, saying "there is reason to hope and to struggle if young people continue to hold high the banner of freedom." Fifty years after the death of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King's speech on that rainy, Cambridge Wednesday, young people remain at the helms of many social and activist movements across the country. This week on Under the Radar and in the concluding hour of our series honoring Dr. King's legacy, we speak with leaders of two separate youth civil engagement groups that have carried MLK's vision into the 21st century. Guests: Rachel Gilmer - Co-Director of Dream Defenders Alexandra Oliver-Dávila - Executive Director of Sociedad Latina Later in the show… The City of Boston plans to raise about $5 million for a memorial to Martin Luther King, Jr. and his wife, Coretta Scott King. But most Bostonians don't realize how deep the MLK-Boston connection really is. In the early 1950s, King lived in segregated housing while earning his doctorate in Theology at Boston University – he preached at local churches and played basketball on Columbus Avenue in his preacher's shoes. He met Coretta here while she was studying at the New England Conservatory of Music. But strangely, there are almost no markers of MLK's presence in Boston. That's why award-winning documentary filmmaker and journalist Clennon King made it his mission to highlight Reverend King's Boston years before they're completely lost to history. Guest: Clennon King - journalist and award-winning documentary filmmaker.

In the early 1900's a painter named Henry Ward Ranger selected a block of West 67th Street in New York to establish a building with studio apartments with ample space and good natural light where artists could work and live comfortably. Over time, this block, located between Central Park and Columbus Avenue, became a hub for artists and creative types. The block was built up over a period of thirty years and most of the buildings maintained architectural consistency with Ranger's original apartments. Between 1916 and 1917, the architectural team known as Shape & Brady led the effort to complete the eight-story building at 50 West 67th Street. This building has since been dubbed, "The Musician's Building" due to its 60 soundproof apartments that were each large enough to accommodate a grand piano. Learn more about the historic West 67th Street Artists' Colony, the Musician's Building, and a neighborhood controversy involving ABC with former New York Times writer and current editorial director of cityrealty.com, Carter Horsley.
