Known as a beautiful Southern city and distinguished by its opulent
homes, towering church steeples and gracious hospitality,
Charleston, South Carolina, has long been associated with the
genteel side of Southern living. However, beyond the outward
appearances that most people associate with Charleston, there is
another side that most visitors and residents alike would not
believe is part of the very fabric from which the city??'s history
was woven. Wicked Charleston: The Dark Side of the Holy City, by
local resident and tour guide Mark Jones, opens the door to the
dark alleys and seedy characters not often associated with the
Charleston of today. From the sexual escapades of an original Lord
Proprietor and the comings and goings of the most notorious
pirates, to secret brothels and nightclubs, Jones leads the reader
back to a time when "drinking, eating and whoring with more than
fifty wenches" was more common in the Holy City than one may
imagine.
Twin Towers Remembered This visual essay of photographs of the
World Trade Center, starting in 1974 to the year 2000, was posible
due to recent developments on the war on terror. We give heartfelt
thanks to President Obama and his administration, for liberating me
and many others by bringing to justice the perpetrators of these
attacks. So, on the 10th anniversary we all can remember the way it
was. Photographs and introduction by visual Artist F. A. Rodriguez.
In late 2011, photographer Douglas Holleley mounted an alphabet of
wooden letters on a plywood base and placed it in the backyard of
his home in Rochester, NY. His hypothesis was simple; to
investigate the behavior of snow as it accumulated on a low-relief,
three-dimensional object-in this case, as mentioned before, an
alphabet of wooden letters. As the year progressed, Holleley
continued to photograph through Spring, Summer and Autumn finishing
around Christmas 2012. As such, in addition to the effects of the
rain, snow and ice the alphabet is also graced with seeds, flowers,
leaves and other traces of the seasons. Thus the book expanded from
its original concept. What began as a simple observation of snow
falling on a surface transformed into a gentle, and at times
poignant, meditation on the nature of time and change.

Jenny or Jenny Bull Falls, as the city was fondly referred to
before the railroad roared into town, was born on the backs of
speculators, lumbermen, and businessmen in the mid-1840s. Pursuing
wide-eyed dreams in the vast pine forests of the north woods,
Jenny's population was around 200 in 1870. The worn trails of the
Ojibwe/Chippewa, the area's first occupants, were transformed into
logging roads, and by the time the city's name was formally changed
to Merrill in 1881, the population had grown to 2,000. Nicknamed
the "City of Parks" in 1903, Merrill is situated on the convergence
of the Wisconsin and Prairie Rivers and features four seasons of
natural beauty within the city limits. The wonder of Merrill lies
in a century of traditions and in the heritage and beauty of its
numerous historic buildings and places.
