A fascinating question: If Schlossberg wasn't on the ballot, would that have tipped the election to Bores? (Or would it have made no difference?) If you understand Manhattan voters better than I do, what do you think?

Amazing performance last night by the Swarthmore College Chorus in a world premiere concert, AMERICAN MARTYR, composed by C. Leonard Raybon of Tulane University. My book, MURDER IN A MILL TOWN, brought to life in a new creative way! #Swarthmore @swarthmorecollege.bsky.social

Exciting! A new independent, women-run bookstore (Celia's Bookshop) has opened in Swarthmore. Happy to be at the ribbon-cutting, and to see so many book-loving customers crowding into the beautiful and welcoming space. #Swarthmore
A few more signs from No Kings Day in Philly today. (Easily 100,000 people marching on the Parkway today)
Register this under: Strange and unusual finds when researching other things. (An ad in the Los Angeles Times, Nov. 28, 1974). Was this a real place? And why is Best Western in quotation marks?
