@elba @irene holy crow! most people never notice them. xD

but yeah, it was a big fad amongst neighbourhoods because the city said "if you want to do this we'll do the printing and hanging but you have to do everything else" and the university park community club said "nobody even knows we're here so we're totally doing this" and we did. it was fun :D

i drove that, and i was also real big on the ravenna creek daylighting. we wanted more than we got but university village was on the other side and we lost that part of the fight. but we did get a meaningful extension!

the upcc are still around, too - here's their website: https://www.upcc.org/

I mean, to be extra extra clear, their ads _specifically called out_ the lack of racial covenants in University Park _explicitly and by name_, doing so as a _selling point_, touting their having racial covenants as a feature making them a better place to live than University Park.

Which is another way of saying:

These fuckers have _always_ been like this. _Always._

A casual Saturday morning drive about 8:45
on my way to the 9:00am open, to pick up an item, and head home. The shortest distance to the destination requires a drive across the #PennStateUniversity #UniversityPark campus.

Today is the #PennState #BlueAndWhite #Football game.

O M G. Every #PennsylvaniaStatePolice Cruiser SUV in the Tri-County area must be up there!
And.
And. The #StateCollegePolice. and
And. oh yeah. The #PennStatePolice

Is that even logistically ... reasonable?

Anyone in #LawEnforcement ? How does that work?
Seems like a comedy show
rehearsal.

#StayHome

#AfricanAmericanStudies #AfricanAfricanAmericanStudies
I had "African African American Studies" when I first came to #UniversityPark. Professor Bernard Bell.

Look at that $#!T man! He was a #superstar I shit you not. The real m*ther f'n deal right there. So much respect for that guy. Loved him. He taght me a lot. I think he may have taught me how, moreover, why to be a man.
I think he knew the guy... civil disobedience at the bridge. congressman.

I've emailed him. He doesn't give a shit. He did thouh. Maybe he did hear what I said, ya know? I only told him the truth. He had a profound impact on my understanding of the #AfricanAmercian condition, but what it means to stand for something; to stand up for something and be prepared to die in doing so.

I guess I'm an asshole for never going across campuss, and living here all these years, and all these really fantastic people being just over there. And they're real people, just like you and me. He'd probably be delighted to see me. Sadly, and this is why i won't continue... ii mean, he was old when he was my professor in 1995. That's all i'm gonna say about that.
