  • Downtown Blueprint Updates Go To
    In symbol and substance, Downtown says much about who and what we are as a community. It marks the place of our beginning. It defines our image to the world. It is the showcase for our creative spirit, our heritage and our pride of place. It is where we gather to celebrate, to affirm our beliefs and to realize our greater civic mission. That shared importance, that claim of communal identity, endows each of us with a stake in its future. Downtown is ours to create, ours to shape. As times have changed, so has the role of downtown. From Kekionga's trading village to its days as a territorial fortress, from transportation hub to the seat of government, from commercial nexus to the hothouse for art and culture, each era has invented and invigorated Downtown Fort Wayne with a new focus and energy. The symbolic importance of Downtown will always remain. But with each new age, Downtown must find anew its substantive purpose. In 2002, that charge is both our challenge and our opportunity. The Vision Downtown Fort Wayne is... Everybody's History Everybody's Neighborhood Everybody's Playground Everybody's Opportunity! Living. Working. Enjoying. Vibrant downtowns work successfully within each of these realms. They are significant contributors to the identity, livability and competitiveness of their greater communities. And they are magnets for activity. Regardless of size, the impact of a healthy downtown is enormous. The goal of the Blueprint is to direct and then stimulate in action a Downtown Fort Wayne with an exciting and undeniable energy. The vision statement provides the thematic centerpiece for capturing and concentrating our collective efforts.

  • MAKING WATER PURE: a HISTORY of WATER SOFTENING from POTASH to TIDE a Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduat
    MAKING WATER PURE: A HISTORY OF WATER SOFTENING FROM POTASH TO TIDE A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY _______________________________________________________________________ by Alexandra L. Straub May 2020 Examining Committee Members: Jessica Roney, Advisory Chair, Department of History Hilary Lowe, Department of History Bryant Simon, Department of History Andrew Isenberg, External Member, University of Kansas Kendra Smith-Howard, External Member, University at Albany-SUNY i ABSTRACT Making Water Pure: A History of Water Softening from Potash to Tide, is a history of water softening in the United States from 1860 through 1970. Water’s materiality, specifically its tendency to dissolve geological features, consistently interfered with labor processes, especially those that relied on the use of soap or steam. For this reason, the management and control over the quality of water in both domestic and industrial spaces was regular and in many cases economically imperative. Nineteenth-century laborers dealt with hard water on the individual level. They experimented with a variety of different chemicals and methods, including the addition of lye, coffee, blood meal, and wool fiber to water. Throughout the twentieth century, the requirements of industrial efficiency as well as new consumer technologies demanded fast, easy, and standard ways to soften water. This motivated manufactures to produce mechanical water softening systems and synthetic chemicals. This dissertation traces this change and asserts that the history of getting water soft is a history of environmental control and management. Water softening is a lens through which to explore often overlooked actors in the history of managing nonhuman nature such as women, domestic workers, laborers, home economists, advertisers, and commercial chemists.
