  • MS-1 PART III Photographs
    MS-1: Wright Brothers Collection PART III WRIGHT FAMILY PHOTOGRAPH COLLECTION This series includes many original photographic prints made by the Wrights from their own negatives shortly after the images were taken. The Wrights exposed at least 303 gelatin dry plate negatives in the course of documenting their process of invention. All of their glass plate negatives were given to the Library of Congress in 1949, but many of their original prints remained with the Estate of Orville Wright. Many of the Wright Brothers’ original negatives were damaged in Dayton’s great flood of 1913, when they were submerged for up to four days. The Wright State University collection includes some images for which no negatives exist at the Library of Congress and so many of these prints are unique. In addition, this collection includes hundreds of prints collected by the Wrights through their association with other aviation pioneers such as Octave Chanute, and a great variety of aeronautical prints either collected by them, or sent to them by well-wishers through the years. While the major prints exist in both collections, both the Wright State University collection and the Wright collection in the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress contain many images that are unique to each collection. Wilbur and Orville Wright began photographing their experiences on the Outer Banks using a 4 x 5 inch dry plate camera. In 1902 they purchased a Korona view camera which used 5 x 7 inch dry plates. They developed their negatives and made prints in the darkroom they set up at their home in Dayton.

  • Healthy Street Pilot Projects
    ANN ARBOR HEALTHY STREET PILOT PROJECTS Summary of Findings January 14, 2021 Prepared by SmithGroup 1 HEALTHY STREET PILOT PROJECTS City Council passed R-20-158 “Resolution to Promote Safe Social Distancing Outdoors in Ann Arbor” on May 4, 2020. This resolution directed staff to (among other things) “develop recommendations and implementation strategies on comprehensive lane or street re-configurations (and report as soon as possible concerning these recommendations and strategies), including the possible cost of such options, the research conducted, and public input received, and other relevant data.” In response to this directive, City and Downtown Development Authority (DDA) staff gave a presentation on recommendations on June 15, 2020 along with two accompanying resolutions: “Resolution to Advance Healthy Streets in Downtown” and “Resolution to Advance Healthy Streets Outside Downtown.” These resolutions were passed by City Council on July 6, 2020. On August 27th the Ann Arbor DDA and the City of Ann Arbor began installing a series of healthy street pilot projects in the downtown area to provide space for safe physical distancing for bicycle and pedestrian travel. These projects, with the approval of City Council, reconfigured traffic lanes to accommodate temporary pedestrian and bicycle facilities, such as non-motorized travel lanes, two-way bikeways, and separated bike lanes. The pilot projects discussed in this report include the following locations: • Miller/Catherine Bikeway (from 1st Street to Division) • Division Street/Broadway Bikeway (from Packard to Maiden Lane) • S. Main Separated Bike Lanes (from William to Stadium) • State & North University Bikeway (from William Street to Thayer) • Packard Bike Lanes (from State to Hill) • East Packard Project (from Platt to Eisenhower) The pilot projects were designed and implemented in alignment with national guidance, City policies and plans, and the DDA’s adopted values for the People-Friendly Streets program.

  • Shinola Case Study
    by Matthew Fisher & Blodwen Tarter Shinola: What’s Next for a Brand Linked to Detroit’s Manufacturing Heritage? Martin Digger had recently applied for a job at Shinola, the Detroit-based company that manufactures consumer products ranging from watches to bicycles. He was excited about the possibility of returning to his hometown to use his new marketing degree as a brand assistant. To prepare for his interview, he walked to the closest coffee shop, ordered an extra-large coffee, and opened his laptop to review the history of the firm and Shinola’s products. He was glad to see that the articles overwhelmingly praised the company. According to the Shinola website, Of all the things we make, the return of manufacturing jobs might just be the thing we’re most proud of. Shinola is founded in the belief that products should be well-made and built to last. Across a growing number of categories, Shinola stands for skill at scale, the preservation of craft, and the beauty of industry.1 Those values resonated with Martin and his hopes for both Detroit and his own work. However, Martin paused when he came across one article that was critical of the firm. Shinola’s entire presence is predicated on its ties to the City of Detroit. The justification for the cheapest men’s watch being $550? For bicycles that cost a minimum of $1,950? American manufacturing costs more. Quality materials cost more. American products are inherently worth more. Like buying a pair of Toms helps some poor Third World kid, by buying a two thousand dollar bike you’re doing your part to help rebuild a fallen American city.

È vietata ogni duplicazione, anche parziale, non autorizzata. 1 La Petite Reine «Chi si inerpica con fatica troverà, ovunque vada, ali ad aspettarlo». Henry Charles Beeching, A Boy’s Song «Questo è il futuro» dice Butch Cassidy mostrando a Etta Place dove sedersi sul manubrio della sua bicicletta. Quando B.J. Thomas comincia a cantare Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head sulle malinconiche note composte da Burt Bacharach, Butch ed Etta stanno già allontanandosi dalla fattoria in sella alla bici, lungo un sentiero sterrato. È uno degli intermezzi musicali più famosi della storia del cinema. La canzone si aggiudicò un Oscar. Quando Butch Cassidy uscì nelle sale nel 1969, la locandina ritraeva la coppia in bicicletta. Per la cronaca, Paul Newman eseguì personalmente le acrobazie sulle due ruote. L’intermezzo rappresenta un momento centrale del film: non è solo la legge a dare la caccia ai due pistoleri Butch Cassidy e Sundance Kid, ormai sulla via del tramonto; anche il futuro – simboleggiato dalla bicicletta – li insegue.

This shift to “local 2.0” has given birth to “local listing sites,” an emerging social medium that converges the content of traditional Yellow Pages, consumer-generated content and the interactive features of social network sites. Such sites harness the productive power of “prosumers,” the hybrid subjectivity of new media users who simultaneously produce and consume online content (Tapscott & Williams, 2006). These sites capitalize on the productivity of users who create discourses through and about local consumption by voluntarily rating and reviewing local businesses and services, challenging the power of institutions traditionally responsible for the production of consumer culture and reputation management (e.g., local business owners, marketers, advertisers, professional critics).
