Each state‘s relative share of these programs is described. The geographic themes, patterns, and images from these programs are analyzed, with an emphasis on identity in five American regions: the Mid-Atlantic, New England, the Midwest, the South, and the West. The dissertation concludes with a comparison of television‘s senses of place to those described in previous studies of regional identity. iii For Sue iv CONTENTS List of Tables vi Acknowledgments vii 1.

  • “Happy Days Are Here Again”: the Song That Launched FDR's
    “Happy Days Are Here Again”: The Song That Launched FDR’s Presidency In 1929, just prior to the Great Crash of the New York Stock Market, Milton Ager and Jack Yellen recorded, “Happy Days Are Here Again.” The song was an instant hit and would remain a popular refrain throughout the 1930s, as the theme of radio shows sponsored by Lucky Strike cigarettes. In 1932, the song became closely associated to the presidential campaign of New York Democratic Governor Franklin Delano Roosevelt in his effort to unseat incumbent President Herbert Hoover. When Roosevelt arrived in Chicago to accept his party’s nomination for president, he entered the room to the sound of “Happy Days Are Hear Again.” The song and its cheerful lyrics matched Roosevelt’s upbeat tempo and stood in stark contrast to Hoover’s demeanor. In addition, the song resonated throughout the nation as most Americans were looking to Roosevelt in hopes that his pledge of “a new deal for the American people” would usher them safely through the Great Depression into a new era of economic prosperity. “Happy Days Are Here Again” has long been associated with the Democratic party, and remains a sentimental favorite for its political leaders and supporters such as singer and actress Barbara Streisand, who has recorded her own version of the song. “Happy Days Are Here Again” is listed as #47 on the Recording Industry Association of America's list of "Songs of the Century". ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Happy Days Are Here Again” by Jack Yellen & Milton Alger As recorded by Leo Reisman and His Orchestra, with Lou Levin, vocal (November 1929) for the 1930 MGM movie Chasing Rainbows .

  • Quick, Timely Reads on the Waterfront
    Quick, Timely Reads On the Waterfront Bugging State Street: An Erie Rite of Passage By David Frew July 2021 Dr. David Frew, a prolific writer, author, and speaker, grew up on Erie's lower west side as a proud "Bay Rat," joining neighborhood kids playing and marauding along the west bayfront. He has written for years about his beloved Presque Isle and his adventures on the Great Lakes. In this series, the JES Scholar-in-Residence takes note of life in and around the water. The 1950 Mercury was a popular artist’s pallet for the car crazies. Erie, Pennsylvania was not the only city where it happened. Teenagers in other towns had similar car-related customs. But the unique geography of the city made the popular pastime of driving up and down State Street in cars a special experience. During the 1950s, especially in the summer, hundreds of carloads of teens would find their way to State Street and begin a seemingly strange (to adults) nightly passage. Choosing one of three traditional entry portals, the cars would turn onto State Street either at 12th, 18th, or 26th streets and slowly descend the city’s main drag to the Public Dock (today’s Dobbins Landing). Almost seeking red lights, the perpetual parade of automobiles would crawl along, welcoming the opportunity to pause at each stoplight to rev engines and pop clutches. It was cool to “peel out” as you pulled away from a red light, even if there were just a few feet of space between you and the car ahead of you.
