Only global open layouts, non-hierarchical seating arrangements, networks of localized initiatives can actively reclaim flexible communal spaces, and plenty of amenities that power from the centralized institutions of the past and mean you never have to leave your office.

Sandwiched between Center City and rapidly- gentrifying Bella Vista, Hawthorne is a historically black neighborhood known for its jazz scene, rowdy nightclubs, poverty, and street crime. High-rise public housing projects have epitomized the neighborhood since the 1960s but are slowly being replaced by New Urbanist-style projects, causing displacement as young professionals move in. But most importantly, Hawthorne is home to a building that formerly held the Library Company of Philadelphia, now The Philadelphia High School for Creative And Performing Arts (CAPA). Even when it was built, this Neoclassical fortress represented an antiquated version of a library, and became a symbol of South Philadelphia’s blight. Set against this backdrop of grandiose privatism, I envision a hyper-flexible, self-regulating platform for exchange operating on multiple scales outside the spheres of market and state and supportive of spontaneous inculcation of knowledge and skills.

They were part of a series of banlieue rebellions throughout France during these decades. As a result, to some French the banlieues became associated exclusively with “minority,” otherness, lawlessness, and hopelessness.

The thrills and fascinations of his athletic exploits were chronicled by the mass media beginning in 1917 through the 1920s in a way that addressed the central themes of the mythic Great American Novel. Killinger’s personal and public life matched the cultural medley that defined the nation in the first quarter of the twentieth-century. His life plays outs as if it were a Horatio Alger novel, as the anxieties over turn-of-the- century immigration and urbanization, the uncertainty of commercializing formerly amateur sports, social unrest that challenged the status quo, and the resiliency of the individual confronting challenges of World War I, sport, and social alienation.

George Washington and the French and Indian War. Here is the story of George Washington and the start of what developed into what Winston Churchill called the “first world war.” [Remember, Virginian George Washington would have been considered to be fighting for Great Britain at that time, for this was a generation before the Revolutionary War.] Territorial rivalries between Britain and France for the Ohio River Valley had grown stronger as the two countries’ settlements expanded. The French claimed the region as theirs, but the Iroquois Indians had begun to permit some British settlements in the region. In 1753, the French, who feared the loss of the Ohio country’s fur trade, tried to strengthen their claim to the area by building a chain of forts along the Allegheny River in Pennsylvania, at the eastern end of the Ohio River Valley. The British colony of Virginia also claimed the land along the Allegheny.
