Florence Y'all Water Tower
Florence Y'all Water Tower - midwest.social
In the early 1970s, the developers of the yet-to-be-built mall gave the land for the tower to the city, stipulating that the words “Florence Mall” be painted on it in view of interstate motorists. The giant advertisement immediately raised legal concerns. In July 1974, state Bureau of Highways officials told the city that the tower’s sign was illegal because it advertised something which did not yet exist. With time running out to comply with the law, civil staff met for a brainstorming session at the Stringtown Restaurant with C.M. “Hop” Ewing, then mayor of Florence, who “sketched different ideas on a napkin”. Ewing ultimately devised the idea of removing the vertical lines at the sides of the M in MALL, adding a stem to make it a Y and adding an apostrophe; resulting in “Y’all”. Ewing called it a “corny solution, but cost-effective”, because the minor alteration would cost one-third of a full repainting. The city paid $472 to the W.T. Marx Company of Cincinnati, Ohio, to make the changes.
Michigan Protospiel 2025 - Game convention for game designers
Protospiel Michigan 2025 - Game convention for game designers - midwest.social
Protospiel Michigan is about a month away, July 11-13th at the Marriott Detroit Metro Airport. Protospiel is an event where people can bring prototypes of board or card games to play with other designers, play testers, and publishers. It’s a great way to break your game and to fix it. It doesn’t matter what level of polish your game has. Many games are made right on the spot (like mine last year) at Protospiel! But there are also many games there that are just doing final testing just before they are published or put out on Kickstarter. If you like designing games or are intrigued by playing “games from the future,” then this event is for you!
Maps: Where Trump Voter Jobs Will Be Hit by Tariffs
Maps: Where Trump Voter Jobs Will Be Hit by Tariffs - midwest.social
As President Trump imposes tariffs on products from countries around the world, foreign governments are answering back with tariffs of their own. China has targeted corn farmers and carmakers. Canada has put tariffs on poultry plants and air-conditioning manufacturers, while Europe will hit American steel mills and slaughter houses. The retaliatory tariffs are an attempt to put pressure on the president to relent. And they have been carefully designed to hit Mr. Trump where it hurts: Nearly 8 million Americans work in industries targeted by the levies and the majority are Trump voters, a New York Times analysis shows. The figures underscore the dramatic impact that a trade war could have on American workers, potentially causing Mr. Trump’s economic strategy to backfire. Mr. Trump has argued that tariffs will help boost American jobs. But economists say that retaliatory tariffs can cancel out that effect.
