    PROJECT YEAR IN REVIEW: 2020 THE BANKS THE BANKS PROJECT YEAR IN REVIEW The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted life at The Banks in 2020. n By mid-March, state and local public health officials mandated safety measures which forced bars, restaurants, and retailers to temporarily close indoor service, move toward carry-out service at curbside or delivery. For bars and restaurants to continue to do business meant deploying enhanced sanitation measures, mandating masks, and limiting numbers of guests indoors—with a six-foot distance between them. A city-wide curfew, intended to limit the spread of the virus, required earlier ‘last calls’. Restaurants at The Banks converted patio and curbside spaces into temporary outdoor dining. n Workers who could work from home, did; foot traffic downtown all but disappeared, and with it the lunch crowds, after-work crowds, and special event socializing. n Smale Riverfront Park became a refuge and cure for ‘cabin fever’ which was not confined to first quarter of the year. Visitors took to the Ohio River Trail to walk, run, and cycle; eventually the Smale Park swings and play areas re-opened for recreation (masks and personal distancing required). n Cincinnati Reds Museum responded to state mandates for health, safety, curfew, and closure by offering outdoor-only tours. The Freedom Center offered virtual programming as a resource to members, students, and families prior to a gradual re-opening in the fourth quarter of 2020. n The Cincinnati Reds season was cut to 60 games; games played at Great American Ball Park were without fans in the stands.

  • Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science
    Relative Location and the Growth of Terre Haute Thomas Frank Barton, Indiana University A population graph of Terre Haute presents a challenging problem because it is the only large city in Indiana whose population declined for two decades and whose total estimated population in 1950 is less than its peak was in 1920. The city's most rapid growth took place be- tween 1900 and 1910 when its population increased from 36,673 to 58,157. In 1920 its population reached a peak of 66,083 and then declined to 62,810 in 1930 and 62,693 in 1940. A preliminary release indicates that Terre Haute's numbers increased to 64,097 in 1950, a gain of only about 1,400. These statistics stimulate one to ask questions. Why did the city grow so rapidly between 1900 and 1910? What factors contributed to the decline between 1920 and 1940? What are the future prospects? etc. Perhaps in the past too many of those who have been both economically and academically interested in Terre Haute's growth have concentrated their attention upon the political city and have failed to give adequate consideration to its relative location and its neighbors. There are many large and small cities near this Queen City of the Wabash. Approximately 170 miles to the north is Chicago and 100 miles to the south is Evansville. Seventy-three miles to the northeast is Indianapolis, capital of Indiana, while 130 miles to the northwest is Springfield, capital of Illinois. It is interesting to note that Terre Haute is almost equidistant from the metropolitan areas of Chicago, St.

  • The Dual Origin of Minnesota
    Library of Congress The dual origin of Minnesota / THE DUAL ORIGIN OF MINNESOTA.* BY SAMUEL M. DAVIS. * Read at the monthly meeting of the Executive Council, April 10, 1899. It is the purpose of this paper to trace the origin and source of the territory now comprised within the boundary of the state of Minnesota This state occupies the unique position of being the only state in the Union which acquired its territory from the two largest accessions of land to the United States in the early history of this government. I refer to the cession of the Northwest Territory by Great Britain in 1783 and the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. About twenty-nine thousand square miles of territory, including all east of the Mississippi which is now comprised within the boundary of the state, originated in the cession by the treaty with Great Britain in 1783. The remaining part, about fifty-five thousand square miles, was secured from the territory originally purchased from France in 1803. It is my object to sketch the main features connecting these two great treaties of accession of territory, both in relation to the boundary of the territory acquired and also with reference to the government provided for them after the territory was acquired. CESSION OF THE NORTHWEST TERRITORY. The Revolutionary War, which began April 19th, 1775, was closed by three separate treaties of peace. The United States and France conducted simultaneous negotiations with different English Commissioners, with the understanding that the preliminaries should be signed the same day. Dr. Franklin wrote to Vergennes on the 29th of November, 1782, that the American articles were already agreed upon and that he hoped to lay a copy of them before his Excellency the following day.

  • Glimpses of Early Dickinson County
    GLIMPSES OF EARLY DICKINSON COUNTY by William J. Cummings March, 2004 Evolution of Michigan from Northwest Territory to Statehood From 1787 to 1800 the lands now comprising Michigan were a part of the Northwest Territory. From 1800 to 1803 half of what is now the Lower Peninsula of Michigan and all of the Upper Peninsula were part of Indiana Territory. From 1803 to 1805 what is now Michigan was again part of the Northwest Territory which was smaller due to Ohio achieving statehood on March 1, 1803. From 1805 to 1836 Michigan Territory consisted of the Lower Peninsula and a small portion of the eastern Upper Peninsula. In 1836 the lands comprising the remainder of the Upper Peninsula were given to Michigan in exchange for the Toledo Strip. Michigan Territory Map, 1822 This map of Michigan Territory appeared in A Complete Historical, Chronological and Geographical American Atlas published by H.S. Carey and I. Lea in Philadelphia in 1822. Note the lack of detail in the northern Lower Peninsula and the Upper Peninsula which were largely unexplored and inhabited by Native Americans at this time. Wiskonsan and Iowa, 1838 Michigan and Wiskonsan, 1840 EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT! VULCAN – A number of Indians – men, women and children – came into town Wednesday last from Bad Water [sic] for the purpose of selling berries, furs, etc., having with them a lot of regular Indian ponies. They make a novel picture as they go along one after the other, looking more like Indians we read about than those usually seen in civilization, and are always looked upon in wonderment by strangers, though it has long since lost its novelty to the residents here.

  • Remarks on the Dedication of the Restored Fort Washington Monument
    Remarks on the Dedication of the Restored Fort Washington Monument by ARTHUR G. KING, M. D. On Memorial Day, May 30, 1963, in an impressive ceremony at the site, the restored Fort Washington Monument was dedicated. The original monument had stood at Third and Ludlow Streets since 1901, but was dismantled in the 1950's when the Third Street Distributor was constructed. The new monument contains a revised inscription and a corrected map; on the map of the old monument, the location of the Fort was in error. We take pride in the fact that our Society has been vitally instru- mental in the planning and completion of the new monument. Moreover, HPSO Collection Unveiling of the Fort Washington Monument June 14, 1901 Dedication of the Restored Fort Washington Monument 203 the main address for the dedicatory ceremony was presented by Arthur G.
