The Venetian Ghetto was the area of Venice in which Jews were compelled to live under the Venetian Republic. It is from its name in Italian ("ghetto"), that the English word "ghetto" is derived: in the Venetian language it was named "ghèto". The Venetian Ghetto (incidentally, the first Ghetto) was instituted in 1516, though political restrictions on Jewish rights and residences existed before that date.
Though it was home to a large number of Jews, the population living in the Venetian Ghetto never assimilated to form a distinct, "Venetian Jewish" ethnicity. Four of the five synagogues were clearly divided according to ethnic identity: separate synagogues existed for the German (the Scuola Grande Tedesca), Italian (the Scuola Italiana), Spanish and Portuguese (the Scuola Spagnola), and Levantine Sephardi communities (The Scola Levantina). The fifth, the Scuola Canton, is believed to have been either French, or a private synagogue for the families who funded its construction. Today, there are also populations of Ashkenazic Jews in Venice, mainly Lubavitchers who operate one of two kosher foodstores, a yeshiva, and the aforementioned Chabad synagogue.
In September 1938, the promulgation of the fascist racial laws deprived the Jews of civil rights, and the Jewish community entered a difficult period under the leadership first of Aldo Finzi and subsequently (from June 1940 onwards) of Professor Giuseppe Jona.
In September 1943, Italy changed from being an ally of Nazi Germany into an occupied country, and the Nazis started a systematic hunt for Jews in Venice as in other Italian cities. On 17 September, Professor Jona committed suicide rather than hand over to the German authorities a list of Jewish community residents.
In November 1943, Jews were declared 'enemy aliens' in accordance with the manifesto of the Italian Social Republic, to be arrested and their property seized. Although some Jews managed to escape to neutral Switzerland or Allied-occupied southern Italy, over two hundred were rounded up, most between 5 December 1943 (when approximately 150 were arrested) and late summer 1944. They were held at the city's Marco Foscarini college, the women's prison on Giudecca, the prison at Santa Maria Maggiore and subsequently at Fossoli concentration camp, before being deported, in most cases, to Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1944. Those arrested later in 1944 included some 20 residents of a Jewish convalescence home, the Casa di Ricovero Israelitica (including Venice's Chief Rabbi, Adolfo Ottolenghi, who chose to follow the fate of his fellow deportees) and 29 from a Jewish hospital. Most of those arrested in the summer of 1944 spent time incarcerated at Risiera di San Sabba concentration camp, Trieste. Although a figure of two hundred and five Jewish deportees from Venice between November 1943 and August 1944 is often quoted, one source give the higher figure of 246, which includes those deported to Trieste, some of whom died there, and a smaller number of arrests after this point up until the end of the war. Only 8 Jewish residents of Venice emerged from the death camps. The 1938 Jewish population of Venice (2000) was reduced by the war's end to 1500, or in some sources 1050.
What was Europe's first ghetto is now a lively and popular district of the city where the religious and administrative institutions of the Jewish Community and its five synagogues still persist.
Today, the Ghetto is still a center of Jewish life in the city. The Jewish Community of Venice, that counts 500 people, is of such cultural vitality that it is often a centre for the cultural life of the entire city.
Julia was rather fascinated by the kitsch silver sugar bowl in the shape of a coal scuttle :)

- Kyneton calling, by Jane Willson, Epicure, The Age, October 20, 2009 NO. 30 LADLE FOODSTORE Christine McTaggart came to Kyneton via Sydney, Melbourne, Woodend and a career in marketing to open her cafe and deli a year ago. Ladle offers speciality cheeses, local smallgoods, a communal table and more intimate rooms. The plan - when the liquor licence materialises - is for live music at weekends with antipasto, cheese platters and a mix of local and Melbourne artists. Open seven days.
The service industry is an important employer in the city. The city centre is one of the main shopping areas, with the pedestrianised Cruises St being one of the main shopping streets and also the recently pedestrianised Bedford Row. New on the agenda is the proposed pedestranisation of O'Connell St up to Roches St near the Oriental Foodstore and a new look for William St, the heart of Limerick City. Each side of the city has outlying shopping areas. Crescent Shopping Centre is in Dooradoyle, not far from the city centre. It has over 90 shopping outlets along with restaurants and the 12-screen Omniplex Cinema. Regular bus services run from the city centre to the Crescent Shopping Centre. The Jetland Shopping Centre is in Caherdavin. It opened in 2005. Its main anchor is Dunnes Stores, with other shops and services including Golden Discs and Costa Coffee
The Milk Market located at Cornmarket Row in the city centre sells locally produced foods and products. The market is run by the Limerick Market Trustees and is one of the oldest markets run in the country. The market is open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday with the Saturday market acting as the flagship and most popular market day. In 2010 work was undertaken to redevelop the existing market premises to an all – weather, all year round market facility as the market operated in an outdoor environment. The work involved constructing a large canopy over the existing market premises and was officially re-opened in June 2010.
I honestly want to know, who on earth licks tomato sauce like that? What message this advertisement actually want to convey towards the viewers?
The current advertisement industry has totally become dependent on lust and objectification of female body. Let it be food, consumer electronics, fashion wears, even health care products.
Is human society all about sex,lust, body and money?
An old sign with the A&P/Dominion logos hidden with an old 'Super Fresh' sign. Also notice the old Miracle Foodmart logo.
Many retail stores in city centers are vacant due to various factors that have changed the retail landscape in recent years. Some of these factors are:
- The economic recession that has reduced consumer spending and disposable income, leading to lower demand for non-essential goods and services.
- The rise of online shopping that has offered more convenience, variety and lower prices to customers, making physical stores less attractive and competitive.
- The oversupply of retail space that has resulted from previous expansion plans, creating a mismatch between supply and demand and driving up vacancy rates.
- The structural change in the retail sector that has seen some sub-sectors decline (e.g. fashion, household, department stores) while others grow (e.g. leisure, essential, value, foodstores), requiring a repositioning and diversification of shopping centers to remain relevant.
These factors have affected different cities in different ways, depending on their size, location, demographics, infrastructure and attractiveness. Some cities have managed to adapt and reinvent themselves, while others have struggled to cope with the challenges and opportunities of the changing retail environment.

My wine is a Merlot from Ste Genevieve vineyards in West Texas. The bread is a Ciabatta, locally baked from organic ingredients at Central Market, Houston's best gourmet foodstore which just happens to be right down the street. My beef stew is the best in town.
From the speeding - and pothole rattled - bus...Here we can see an elite shopping mall - complete with a brand-new beauty salon, barber shop, and photo shop among other stores - serving the residents of nearby high-end apartment buildings. Life is good in the DPRK. For some. ;-)

Responding to an emergency call about a woman who passed out in a locked washroom at the Elgin St. McDonald's.
I was going to make an elaborate diorama of a food store similar to Fauchon in France, but after almost a year of not being able to complete it, I've given up. This is all I have completed.
The lower of the two old car order/parcel pickup/commande à l'auto conveyor belts at ex-A&P store #386. The store closed in November 2005, but the car order operation was shut down 10 years prior to the store's closing or in 1995...the grocery chains were sadly shuttering them en-masse in the mid-1990s. I wonder if more of them would still be in use today were Steinberg's still around.
Back in the heyday of stores in Ontario & Quebec having a car order service, several of them had two conveyors - with one to send out customers' orders and the other to return empty bins back to the cash registers. This store was rather unique in that both belts were used to transport customers' orders out to the parcel pickup room, which was located in west corner of the store by the truck receiving doors. The reason for this is that the mall entrance was midway down the length of the store's entrance and there were 6 cash registers on either side, each with their own car order conveyor. Therefore, when the cashiers need more empty bins, the direction of 1 of the 2 belts would be reversed to return empties. After the store closed, the conveyors were removed and the old parcel pickup drive-thru doors are all that remains of the car order operation. Today the store is Food Basics store #870.
This.. well...awful design replaced the 145 year old attractive victorian station building in 1987.
An astonishingly poor effort and much derided by locals
It looks like a shed, still over 100 years later from the shot in 1905 people are still busily going about there business.
No change there then..

The reason for this is that the mall entrance was midway down the length of the store's entrance and there were 6 cash registers on either side, each with their own car order conveyor. The top conveyor was shorter at both ends - it served the cashiers to the left of the mall entrance and was the shorter belt in the car order room. Therefore, when the cashiers need more empty bins, the direction of 1 of the 2 belts would be reversed to return empties. After the store closed, the conveyors were removed and the old parcel pickup drive-thru doors are all that remains of the car order operation. Today the store is Food Basics store #870.

This is the long straightaway section of belt that once led from the right-side cash registers to bring car order bins into the basement on their journey to the car order room at ex-A&P store 386. Today this store is a Food Basics, but the conveyor system, which closed 10 years before A&P today, is now long gone.
Don't you love Farmer's Market? I do.
Today I bought some Morels.... Ahhhh... although they were asking $25/lb- we shook hands at $20.- ( noteworthy: downtown foodstore is selling these for $60.-/lb.).
What could be simpler? Risotto is made with Carnaroli Rice, mushroom stock (Chef Keller's recipe), Morels ans Italian Parsley... all I can say - glad there is a little left over.... ;-)
