Published in January 1894 by The Historical Publishing Company, author J. W. Buel, this book contains 300 photographs of every aspect of the fair.
The World's Fair: Columbian Exposition (also known as the Chicago World's Fair) was a world's fair held in Chicago in 1893 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' arrival in the New World in 1492. At the core of the fair was an area that quickly became known as the White City for its buildings with white stucco siding and its streets illuminated by electric lights.

The Postcard
A postally unused Norman Series postcard published by Shoesmith & Etheridge Ltd. of Hastings. The image is a real photograph, and the card was printed in Great Britain. Note the almost complete absence of traffic.
The Metropole Hotel on the left has since been demolished and replaced with an ugly block of flats, and the gardens in front of it are no longer so neat and well-maintained.
All that is left of the Metropole Hotel is the first part of its name - the block of flats is named Metropole Court.
'Eastbourne' by Dave Griffin
Here is a great poem about Eastbourne:
'In Eastbourne, in winter,
Pinched ladies hum under their breath
In charity shops
That smell of ironing boards and musty suits,
Belonging to men recently buried.
The promenade, set with magnolia-washed hotels,
Is too cold, dear, for an afternoon stroll,
But carers pushing wheelchairs, three abreast,
Heavy with their silent, sullen,
Ungrateful charges,
From the Autumn Leaves nursing home,
Cheerfully defy the east wind,
And look for: 'Somewhere That's Open -
Where we can get a cup of tea'.
Eastbourne in winter.
Its grand buildings stand as rigid,
As bustled great-aunts at an Edwardian wedding.
The town awaits springtime church-outing coachloads,
Who will fill the Nelson tea-rooms,
And elegant graffiti-free sea front shelters,
With nattering Methodist wives.
They are of a fellowship.
They know about net curtains, pleats and hat pins,
And remember the war.
On Wednesdays, the Eastbourne Rotary Club meets,
And there is a matinee of Arsenic and Old Lace,
At the Pier Theatre,
As well as a coffee afternoon at St. Peter's.
All are welcome, invites the fluorescent,
Happing notice outside.
Eastbourne in winter,
A town where men wear ties on their day off,
Adding a V-necked pullover in retirement.
The warm library reading room is full.
Walking sticks hang over the backs of chairs.
A pensioner with a magnifying glass,
Studies tonight's Hackney form,
And another pours tea, surreptitiously,
From an ancient Thermos.
She offers a sip to her friend, who declines,
With a disapproving shake of her head,
And ponders how much it would cost
To heat the flat all day in this weather
The floral clock is being dressed for summer.
Its hands painted by young men,
In an old folks' town.
The wrought iron street lamps,
Thickened with another coat of corporation gloss,
And inside peeling terraces,
Old men polish their medals,
And press their trousers,
For tonight's reunion at the Grand Hotel.
They will observe a minute's silence,
To their fallen comrades.
Each year they are fewer in number,
In Eastbourne, in winter,
The saviours of the world drive Invacars.
Instead of tanks'.
(....The Floral Clock in Eastbourne? I don't think so ......)
The presence of scarring in the tarsal conjunctiva.

Batman: Arkham Asylum
By R. A. Jones
This week, let’s take a look at two eagerly awaited new Batman comics which have just landed in the specialty shops.
The first of these is “Arkham Asylum”, a hand-painted, hardback book that retails for a whopping $24.95. For those not in the know, Arkham Asylum is the place where such lunatic villains as the Joker are sent to serve time. In this meandering opus, we’re told two stories: the history of the doctor who founded the asylum, and an adventure in which Batman battles the various villains who have taken over the facility.
Neither story is of any interest, and both abound with amateur pop psychology that would embarrass psychologist Joyce Brothers. It’s supposed to be profound, of course, but is really only muddled and confused. Examples? The stalwart Batman is reduced to a quivering mass of gelatin by a simple word association test, then proceeds to drive a jagged shard of glass completely through his hand for no apparent reason. Makes you wonder who should be the patient here.
The painted artwork is lovely, but just as difficult to decipher as the story. Also, whereas a normal Batman comic is suitable for nearly all ages, “Arkham Asylum”, by virtue of violence, language, and grim situations, is purely adult fare. And no adult in his right mind would care to squander $25 this way.
Only slightly more satisfying is “Gotham by Gaslight”. This $3.95 book is a “What If” adventure wherein Batman lives in the year 1889 and tangles with the notorious Jack the Ripper. Besides being the most poorly colored book of this type I’ve ever seen, it also is saddled with an incredibly trite script. Anyone who is surprised when the true identity of the Ripper is revealed should go back to reading “Dick and Jane” primers.
The Batman phenomenon has helped attract many new customers into comic book shops – but, let’s hope they pass up these two volumes in favor of one of the many good books available.

Hawk and Dove
By Dr. Jon Suter
I prefer to wait for a mini-series to finish its run before I write anything, but the new version of DC Comics’ “Hawk and Dove” compel me to call it to your attention.
The first two issues of the intended five are worth your time.
The first “Hawk and Dove” team, Hank and Don Hall, appeared in the late 1960s when those words carried heavy political baggage. Creator Steve Ditko’s version never achieved wide popularity, even in that politicized era, but the warring brothers surfaced several times in DC titles.
The age of the characters seemed to fluctuate. Finally, Dove died in the “Crisis on Infinite Earths” series.
The title was revived in 1988, and a new Dove appeared, a female who Hawk finally murdered in his Monarch persona.
Now a third team has appeared with a radical reversal of roles; a female Hawk.
The first team versions received their powers from other dimensions, but the new heroes are the results of genetic tampering, and the “Godwave” that swept the DC universe in the recent “Genesis” plotline.
There is enough paranoia in this series to satisfy most “X-Files” enthusiasts.
The primary villain is Avian, which may foreshadow a heavy emphasis on bird motifs.
The characters are well defined and interesting, for which writer Mike Baron deserves full credit.
The new Dove is an abrasive grunge rocker, but his powers are more destructive than those of his predecessors. His sonic scream is similar to that of another superhero, Black Canary.
Dean Zachary’s art is appropriate. Dick Giordono’s inking is good and reminds me how much he has contributed to comics in his long career.
Give this series serious consideration. A full series cannot be far behind.
Those interested in the second “Hawk and Dove” team can acquire a 1993 reprint from DC of the five issues that reintroduced them.
Barbara and Karl Kesel’s scripts hold up as does Rob Liefield’s art.
The eventual grim fate of the characters gives their origin a new piquancy.
I received my 'proof of publication' copies in the mail this evening ... I had totally forgotten their request earlier in 2009 ... a very nice surprise!

The Spirit
By Michael Vance
For more than 10 years, “The Spirit” comics tabloid was inserted every week into newspapers as their challenge to the increasing popularity of newsstand comic books.
Its seven page lead feature followed the adventures of Denny Colt who, as The Spirit, fought crime with his fists instead of super powers. “The Spirit” comic book now reprints four of these stories each month with historical insights supplied by Spirit creator, Will Eisner.
“The Spirit” is famous for the great diversity of its themes, genres, and story-telling methods. In the sixty-first issue, Denny Colt takes a vacation to Cape Cod and becomes embroiled in a kidnapping, and stops the theft of an industrial formula. He also follows the ‘life’ of a common coffee saucer, and uncovers the murder of a cartoonist by his assistant.
Eisner’s art is reminiscent of Disney’s best animation work of the 1930s and ‘40s. There is an added film noir quality that heightens its effectiveness through the use of black against white, and often odd scene angles. This art and Eisner’s visual story-telling techniques have strongly influenced generations of artists who’ve used “The Spirit” as a textbook.
Although limited by the feature’s seven page format, he is also adept at concentrated, clear plots and at creating well-defined and interesting characters. Eisner is particularly well known for his women villains, many of whom were visually based on famous actresses.
In fact, many consider Eisner to be one of the few geniuses of comics, and one of the first to believe comics an artform. Eisner, however, was not quite as innovative as held by critics. He is the first to admit heavy influences from earlier works including “Prince Valiant”, “Flash Gordon”, and “Terry and the Pirates”, all newspaper comic strips.
“The Spirit” does suffer from the formulas required to produce a weekly comic book for over a decade. But, taken in small doses, it’s an entertaining, even occasionally thought-provoking work that deserves to be read and enjoyed.
“The Spirit”/$2, 32 pages/Kitchen Sink Press/available in comic shops.

A Comic Series novelty card published by Bamforth & Co. Ltd. of Holmfirth Yorkshire. It was posted in Scarborough on the 12th. August 1973 to:
Miss H. Fisher,
84, Huddersfield Road,
Skelmanthorpe,
Nr. Huddersfield,
Yorkshire
The message on the other side of the card was as follows:
"We haven't had much sun so far
so unlike you I won't get as brown
as a berry!
We went to see Lulu last week at
the Futurist - she is really exciting.
Hope you are enjoying your
holiday, the time's flying isn't it?
We have spent a lot of time in
Peasholm Park and the amusements.
We got chased by a rabbit last week.
That sounds funny doesn't it?
Actually is was a fella dressed up.
Love from Celia".
The Futurist Theatre was a theatre and cinema located on Foreshore Road in Scarborough. It closed its doors on the 6th. January 2014 after the operators lease expired. An alternative operator is being sought.
The Futurist was built as a cinema in 1921. It remained in this role until 1958 when the stage was extended to allow live performances at the venue which included The Black and White Minstrel Show, the Beatles, Morecambe & Wise, Shirley Bassey, Ken Dodd and the Bachelors.
The Futurist had the twelfth largest seating capacity (2,155) for a theatre in the country, and the fifth largest capacity outside London.
The Futurist has the misfortune of being located in an area earmarked for redevelopment, therefore its future looks far from promising.

Casa Loma
Casa Loma (Spanish for 'Hill House') is a Gothic Revival style mansion and garden in midtown Toronto, that is now a historic house museum and landmark. It was constructed from 1911 to 1914 as a residence for the financier Sir Henry Pellatt. The architect was E. J. Lennox, who designed several other city landmarks. Casa Loma sits at an elevation of 140 metres (460 ft) above sea level.
Due to its unique architectural character in Toronto, Casa Loma has been a popular filming location for movies and television. It is also a popular venue for wedding ceremonies, and Casa Loma can be rented in the evenings after the museum closes to the public.
History of Casa Loma
In 1903, financier Henry Pellatt purchased 25 lots from developers Kertland and Rolf. Pellatt commissioned architect E. J. Lennox to design Casa Loma, with construction beginning in 1911, starting with the massive stables, potting shed and Hunting Lodge (a.k.a. coach-house) a few hundred feet north of the main building.
The Hunting Lodge is a two-storey 4,380-square-foot (407 m2) house with servants' quarters. As soon as the stable complex was completed, Pellatt sold his summer house in Scarborough to his son and moved to the Hunting Lodge.
The stables were used as a construction site for the castle (and also served as the quarters for the male servants), with some of the machinery still remaining in the rooms under the stables.
The house cost about $3.5 million and took 300 workers three years to build. Due to the start of the Great War, construction was halted.
With 98 rooms covering 64,700 square feet (6,011 m2), it was the largest private residence in Canada. Notable amenities included an elevator, an oven large enough to cook an ox, two vertical passages for pipe organs, a central vacuum, two secret passages in Pellatt's ground-floor office, a pool, and a bowling alley in the basement.
Most of the third floor was left unfinished, and today it serves as the Regimental Museum for The Queen's Own Rifles of Canada. Pellatt joined the Regiment as a Rifleman, and rose through the ranks to become the Commanding Officer. He was knighted for his dedication to the Regiment.
During the depression that followed the war, the City of Toronto increased Casa Loma's property taxes from $600 per year to $1,000 a month, and Pellatt, already experiencing financial difficulties, auctioned off $1.5 million in art and $250,000 in furnishings. Pellatt was able to enjoy life in the castle for less than ten years, leaving in 1923.
The city seized Casa Loma in 1924 because of unpaid taxes, and for years, the building was left vacant.
In the late 1920's, investors operated Casa Loma for a short time as a luxury hotel. During Prohibition, it became a popular nightspot for wealthy Americans.
The Orange Blossoms, later known as Glen Gray and the Casa Loma Orchestra, played there for eight months in 1927–1928. Shortly thereafter, they went on a tour of North America and became a major swing era dance band.
In the 1930's, CFRB broadcaster Claire Wallace spent a night at Casa Loma to gather material for a story about ghosts and supernatural phenomena, and she later broadcast an appeal to save the old building from demolition.
Her broadcast was heard by the vice-president of a local Kiwanis Club, and subsequently Casa Loma was leased in 1937 to the Kiwanis Club of West Toronto, later the Kiwanis Club of Casa Loma (KCCL), which began operating the castle as a tourist destination until 2011.
During World War II, the stables were used to conceal research and production of sonar, and for construction of sonar devices (known as ASDIC) for U-boat detection. The area was closed, behind an 'Under Repairs' sign. The suggestion that the stables were under renovation allowed workers of the secret facility to come and go without suspicion.
From 1997 until 2012, the castle underwent a 15-year, $33-million exterior restoration largely funded by the city, which also created a new board of trustees in 2008, including seven KCCL members and seven city appointees.
The city's renewed management agreement included a stipulation that KCCL would use the castle's net revenues to help pay for upgrades; however, the organization used the fund to cover operating shortfalls instead, and there was only $335,000 in the account by 2011, rather than the $1.5-million originally projected.
As a result, in 2011, the city temporarily resumed management of Casa Loma and began welcoming bids from the private sector in its search for a new operator.
In January 2014, the city entered a new long-term lease with Liberty Entertainment Group, led by CEO Nick Di Donato, which agreed to spend $7.4 million to continue the castle's upgrades. The company's plans also included a fine dining facility. The restaurant, Blueblood Steakhouse, opened in the summer of 2017.
