    When doing a MCM home I suggest to get rid of the toxic LED & fluorescent lights, they are not more economical as the propaganda lies state they are, incandescent is much better. Also, remove the toxic wireless devices. Consider hiring a building biologist to make the house safe & healthy like the houses from the 50's were.

    Fox59 news today Jan 18, 2024 still finding bones at the construction site. I went to the find-a-grave web site to see if they had any names of people buried there. I have found about 6 with the same surnames of some of my ancestors. I wonder if ALL of the bodies were moved or just the soldiers and pow's. I know there was a section of black families buried there. I also do not want to be buried in the ground, but cremated. I feel like eventually all cemeteries will disappear and bones will be unearthed. Just sprinkle my ashes into a hole and plant a tree on top of me. 😂

    My Great Grandmother worked as a personal shopper for L S Ayres in the 40s. I remember going to Indianapolis at Christmas to see the holiday movie at the Circle Theater ( The Snow Queen, 101 Dalmations) and after the movie, when it had gotten dark, we looked at all the displays in the store windows. They were a lot more elaborate than the windows of the 40s in this video.

    When trying to raise money to save these landmarks, you have to be VERY CAREFUL who you trust to get involved. Case in point: Fairmount High School (where James Dean went to school). Lots of money was raised to save the building while it sat there rotting with almost no work being performed other than shoring up a wall and putting a fence around it. They even had an expensive charity dinner where the Hollywood elite paid crazy prices to attend to save the building. It was completely demolished a few years back, with no one really knowing where all that money went. As far as I know, all those stars who donated money with the expectation of saving James Dean's high school were NEVER reimbursed. They did (sort of) save the auditorium stage and installed it under a pavilion at the park, but you can't really say that a few salvaged hardwood boards is the same as "James Dean performed here," when he actually performed two blocks away, three stories up, in a complete auditorium. The "rebuilt" stage at the park doesn't come close to accounting for the money that was raised to save the now-demolished high school. And the sad thing is, they STILL make money off of it by selling bricks from the demolition. So yeah, be careful who you trust raising money to save old landmarks.

    Interesting that when black Americans were not allowed to live in neighborhoods with white Americans, they created their own communities that included produced businesses. Then a racist commenter (Nuanced Liars) on this video then comes to complain about the term "black spaces". Well, you wouldn't have had the need for "black spaces" in the first place if racists like this commenter (Nuanced Liars) did not exist. They can't have it both ways! You kept blacks segregated, then when they created their own spaces as a result, you're still criticizing blacks, lol?
