Book Synopsis From the Platform 2 by : Paul Cavalieri
Download or read book From the Platform 2 written by Paul Cavalieri and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a nostalgic, visual account of the best time and place to be a graffiti writer. In the 1980s, brothers Kenny, a.k.a. KEY, and Paul, a.k.a. CAVS, immersed themselves in the graffiti scene in the Boogie Down Bronx, dutifully photographing hundreds of pieces on now-discontinued MTA subway cars and capturing their proud comrades before, during, and after the act. "Bombing" "White Elephants" with their pilot markers and documenting them with their cameras, which they always carried, they were on the ride of their lives--until 1989, when the last painted train was removed from service. Tags by names like QUIK, IZTHEWIZ, and many others appear here in color exposures, and dozens of artists share stories and drop knowledge with no filter. A foreword by graffiti historian Henry Chalfant, coproducer of Style Wars--the seminal documentary on New York graffiti and hip-hop culture--kicks things off.
Book Synopsis Twin Cities by Trolley by : John W. Diers
Download or read book Twin Cities by Trolley written by John W. Diers and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent development of light rail transit in the Twin Cities has been an undeniable success. Plans for additional lines progress, and our ways of shopping, dining, and commuting are changing dramatically. As we embrace riding the new Hiawatha light rail line, an older era comes to mind—the age when everyone rode the more than 500 miles of track that crisscrossed the Twin Cities. In Twin Cities by Trolley, John Diers and Aaron Isaacs offer a rolling snapshot of Minneapolis and St. Paul from the 1880s to the 1950s, when the streetcar system shaped the growth and character of the entire metropolitan area. More than 400 photographs and 70 maps let the reader follow the tracks from Stillwater to University Avenue to Lake Minnetonka, through Uptown to downtown Minneapolis. The illustrations show nearly every neighborhood in Minneapolis and St. Paul as it was during the streetcar era. At its peak in the 1920s and early 1930s, the Twin City Rapid Transit Company (TCRT) operated over 900 streetcars, owned 523 miles of track, and carried more than 200 million passengers annually. Recounting the rise and fall of the TCRT, Twin Cities by Trolley explores the history, organization, and operations of the streetcar system, including life as a streetcar operator and the technology, design, and construction of the cars. Inspiring fond memories for anyone who grew up in the Twin Cities, Twin Cities by Trolley leads readers on a fascinating and enlightening tour of this bygone era in the neighborhood and the city they call home. John W. Diers has worked in the transit industry for thirty-five years, including twenty-five years at the Twin Cities Metropolitan Transit Commission. He has written for Trains, and has served on the board of the Minnesota Transportation Museum. Aaron Isaacs worked with Metro Transit for thirty-three years. He is the author of Twin City Lines—The 1940s and The Como-Harriet Streetcar Line. He is also the editor of Railway Museum Quarterly.
Book Synopsis Chicago Trolleys by : David Sadowski
Download or read book Chicago Trolleys written by David Sadowski and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2017 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chicago's extensive transit system first started in 1859, when horsecars ran on rails in city streets. Cable cars and electric streetcars came next. Where new trolley car lines were built, people, businesses, and neighborhoods followed. Chicago quickly became a world-class city. At its peak, Chicago had over 3,000 streetcars and 1,000 miles of track--the largest such system in the world. By the 1930s, there were also streamlined trolleys and trolley buses on rubber tires. Some parts of Chicago's famous "L" system also used trolley wire instead of a third rail. Trolley cars once took people from the Loop to such faraway places as Aurora, Elgin, Milwaukee, and South Bend. A few still run today.
Book Synopsis Making Histories in Transport Museums by : Colin Divall

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first in 30 years to take transport museums seriously as vehicles for the making of public histories. Drawing upon many years' experience of visiting and working in transport museums around the world, the authors argue that the sector's historical roots are more complex than is usually thought. Written from a multidisciplinary perspective but firmly rooted in the practice of making public histories, this book brings the study of transport museums firmly into the mainstream of academic and professional debate.

Book Synopsis Building Chicago's Subways by : David Sadowski
Download or read book Building Chicago's Subways written by David Sadowski and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2018 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the elevated Chicago Loop is justly famous as a symbol of the city, the fascinating history of its subways is less well known. The City of Chicago broke ground on what would become the "Initial System of Subways" during the Great Depression and finished 20 years later. This gigantic construction project, a part of the New Deal, would overcome many obstacles while tunneling through Chicago's soft blue clay, under congested downtown streets, and even beneath the mighty Chicago River. Chicago's first rapid transit subway opened in 1943 after decades of wrangling over routes, financing, and logistics. It grew to encompass the State Street, Dearborn-Milwaukee, and West Side Subways, with the latter modernizing the old Garfield Park "L" into the median of Chicago's first expressway. Take a trip underground and see how Chicago's "I Will" spirit overcame challenges and persevered to help with the successful building of the subways that move millions. Building Chicago's subways was national news and a matter of considerable civic pride--making it a "Second City" no more
Book Synopsis Beautiful Is America by : Louis Kates
Download or read book Beautiful Is America written by Louis Kates and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-05-17 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My passion and inspiration for writing Beautiful Is America was inspired by a young lady by the name of Dorothy Washington, who asked me to take her wedding pictures. This was a dream come true. During that time, I owned a Polaroid camera and was not prepared for taking pictures. Dorothy said it was all she could afford. This was the beginning of my photography career. I have been taking pictures from that day to the present. As I continued to pursue my dream, I decided that I would like to start a business in photography, and the name of the business would be L. K. Photography. I begin to take wedding pictures, school pictures, pictures at church conventions, and souvenir pictures. After working over forty years as a photographer, I retired from General Motors with thirty-four years of service. My wife retired from St. John Hospital after twenty-eight years of service. We moved to Powder Springs, Georgia, after retirement. Once again, I started a new business in Georgia and changed the name to L. K. Photoshop. My wife and I began to work with day care services. We had fourteen day-care clients. We retired five years later for the second and final time. God has blessed us in the past and continues to do so. We are very blessed to be able to travel and see beautiful scenery around the world. We have traveled to all fifty states, enjoying and taking pictures of rock formations, magnificent waterfalls, lighthouses, the US Presidential Library and Museums, and historic sites. It is a joy and our desire to share this book with family and friends and the people of this great country.
