Jane White posted this on October 8th, 2008 Enough death and destruction – here’s a completely feelgood slideshow documenting the tradition of the block party in Chicago. Photographs are by E. Jason Wambsgans of the Chicago Tribune. Just ordinary people talking about community, friendship and food.

Jane White posted this on October 8th, 2008 The I-35W Mississippi River bridge was an eight-lane steel bridge that carried Interstate 35W across the Mississippi River in Minneapolis.

Jane White posted this on October 7th, 2008 Beautiful, intimate pictures combined with excellent quality audio, this is an absolutely spell binding piece of work by James M Patterson of Valley News, White River Junction, Vermont.

I know nothing about this woman but I’d [...]
duckrabbit posted this on October 2nd, 2008 There can be few places on earth more dangerous to be a journalist then Mogadishu.¬† Fair play then to Paul Salopeck, the celebrated Africa correspondent for the Chicago Tribune, who recently posted a thoughtful audio slideshow about mental health care in Mogadishu (sounds like a dead Kennedy’s song).
