U.S. Senator Dick Durbin held a news conference at Anderson’s Bookshop in Naperville on Friday, January 13 to discuss bi-partisan legislation he has introduced called the Marketplace Fairness Act, which aims to level the playing field between online and “bricks and mortar” merchants. The bill would eliminate the unfair advantage online merchants have over main street businesses by requiring sellers to collect sales tax from out-of-state buyers regardless of whether the seller has a physical presence in the state.
May 13, 2016 - "Faneuil Hall Marketplace is actually four great places in one location - Faneuil Hall, Quincy Market, North Market and South Market, all set around a cobblestone promenade where jugglers, magicians and musicians entertain the passers-by. So by all means, stroll, shop, eat, laugh, wander, wonder and explore it all.
In 1742 Peter Faneuil, Boston's wealthiest merchant, built Faneuil Hall as a gift to the city.
The edifice was home to merchants, fishermen, and meat and produce sellers, and provided a platform for the country's most famous orators. It is where colonists first protested the Sugar Act in 1764 and established the doctrine of "no taxation without representation."
Firebrand Samuel Adams rallied the citizens of Boston to the cause of independence from Great Britain in the hallowed Hall, and George Washington toasted the nation there on its first birthday.
Through the years, Faneuil Hall has played host to many impassioned speakers, from Oliver Wendall Holmes and Susan B. Anthony to Bill Clinton and Ted Kennedy, always living up to its nickname, "The Cradle of Liberty."
To better accommodate the merchants and shoppers, Faneuil Hall was expanded in 1826 to include Quincy Market, which was designed in the then-popular Greek Revival style and later dubbed for Boston Mayor Josiah Quincy.
The market remained a vital business hub throughout the 1800's; but by the mid-1900's, the buildings had fallen into disrepair and many stood empty.
The once-thriving marketplace was tagged for demolition until a committed group of Bostonians sought to preserve it in the early 1970's.
Through the vision of Jim Rouse, architect Benjamin Thompson and Mayor Kevin White, the dilapidated structures were revitalized, thoroughly changing the face of downtown Boston.
The 1976 renovation was the first urban renewal project of its kind, one that spawned imitations in this country and abroad.
Today, what is known as Faneuil Hall Marketplace is still Boston's central meeting place, offering visitors and residents alike an unparalleled urban marketplace. The unique and burgeoning array of shops, restaurants and outdoor entertainment have made it a premiere urban destination that attracts more than 18 million visitors annually" Text from Faneuil Hall Marketplace website.

Tapes philipinarum, Chanthaburi market, Thailand. The patterns on these shells are very typical of molluscan shells in general. They seem to be generated by very simple rules operating similarly to a cellular automaton (ala Wolfram). Exactly how the "rules" are generated in the first place, or why they vary during growth, remain unknown.

Pampas grass and Aloe plants prod their way through raked gravel outside The Marketplace in Silver City. Warm, muted colour tones on the surrounding baked plaster walls glow pleasingly in the afternoon sunshine.
