⏳ History, herstory ... The land that is now Wonderland was farmed, then developed as a camping and leisure location, then left to rewild (effectively) and is now being restored to appropriate - albeit convivial - ecosystem. 🧊 Before any of that, of course, the land was stewarded for thousands of years by Native Americans (specifically Potawatomi, Ho-Chunk, Kickapoo and Peoria); and before that, if you go back far enough, it was beneath millions of tons of ice. 📖 As current stewards of the land, we are also well-placed to tell its story. Over the next 6-9 months, we will be publishing our findings on Patreon. Some of that story is beyond reach today. Some of it can be accessed through historical archives, and some by scientific testing. Some of the story requires a little imagination, and some we are in the process of making now. ⁉️ Our Patreon is here: https://lnkd.in/gYq_Kc6G. Come and support us, and share in the historical investigation. And just to get a sense of how things have changed, here's Pete Berry's wife "proving a pretty girl can make more than one catch" (!!!)

🚨 NEW BLOG POST. I’m not a father and my relationship with my dad was fraught. He died when we were both too young, and I’ve been working on me ever since. In this post I write about one of my favorite sacred places, the Wind Point Lighthouse, the pull of Lake Michigan, family, friends and Father’s Day. Check it out: https://lnkd.in/ehFE2yMm

Little Tokyo in LA is on the 2024 America's 11 Most Endangered Places 2024 (National Trust for Historic Preservation). I stumbled upon this area accidentally when I worked in downtown LA in the early 2000s and it became a quick favorite for its great food, shops, and history (of course). It's one of Los Angeles's second-oldest ethnic communities. Established in 1885 by Japanese seaman Hamanosuke Shigeta, it burgeoned into a thriving community by 1900, serving as a significant urban enclave for Japanese Americans. However, World War II brought upheaval as Japanese Americans were forcibly relocated, leaving behind a void filled by black residents from the Deep South who migrated north to fill a labor shortage in the war defense industry. In this little period, Little Tokyo evolved into Bronzeville, a vibrant cultural center for black businesses and art. The neighborhood buzzed with activity, as the wartime shifts ran 24 hours a day, and renowned performers like Count Basie, Judy Garland, Gene Kelly, and Charlie Parker graced the stages of Bronzeville's black-owned breakfast clubs. This scene evaporated as the Japanese returned to the area and wartime work dried up. Concerns like gentrification and displacement play a big part in Little Tokyo's story now.
