My piece on how was shaped by the streetcar system. The short answer is that may be part of because the streetcars connected it early on (an observation by Stephen Treffman). The trolley/cable lines went where people were flocking to entertainment, development followed afterward. And we became part of the largest cable car system in the world.

The heat wave made me think of the poor souls at the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago patriciamorse.substack.com/p/m

Every year since 1974, there's a Mum and Bulb sale in . Technically a fundraiser, the real goal of the committee was beautifying the neighborhood after decades of neglect and the chaos of urban renewal. The Fair this year is September 23 from 9to 4 in the shopping center couryard. There will be a table with perennial native plants this year--trying to help the neighborhood's ecosystem.

Still working on my article on how transit builds a neighborhood--after the 1893 World's Fair was a huge hit, entrepreneurs opened a German beer hall on the block just to the southwest of the Midway. The cable car company that owned the line on Cottage Grove saw the chance to increase ridership, bought the largely empty block, and opened Sans Souci amusement park. The area remained an entertainment district for 60 years and Cottage Grove became a commercial corridor.

Pink was amazing. She ate the stage and the crowd...
I've been to many concerts and I always say Madonna is huge, but this lady doesn't need to envy anything from her.

I wrote about the first incarnation of the Japanese Garden for the Hyde Park Herald and the Little Tokyo that grew on the SouthSide of Chicago during World War II as internees were released from incarceration. hpherald.com/evening_digest/hy
