Balcony view of a Beautiful Fall Day somewhere near Philadelphia, trees shades of rust and brown, blue sky with paintbrush clouds.

3/ I currently live near the Lubin Betzwood Films location, where they made "eastern westerns." Most buildings were destroyed but at least one remains and has been repurposed. The rest of the site now has apartments.

2/ Stetson Hats, Atwater Kent, Lubin Manufacturing are a few of my favorites. Lubin's abandoned buildings at 20th and Indiana are now mostly gone, but Google maps still has older views before they were demolished.

1/ Now I'm the one late in replying, sorry! I was a baby when he worked at Budd, so have no real memories of his experience there. But in more recent years, my train passed right next to it and I was always curious, as I am about many old Philly locations. Most are now gone or, if lucky, repurposed.

And this is why I switched to Linux Mint last week. Not a programmer, not a techie, but I managed to get it installed and it's just perfect! No bloatware or annoying reminders anymore. And agree on that clock thingy, what the heck?

Sea glass earrings redone with antique brass and rhinestone cup chain.
Hobbies are healthy for mind and body. I had some old sea glass earrings with tarnished silverish findings and redid them using antique brass findings and rhinestone cup chain. First time I did this and now I know I can fix or change up other old pieces.

Melody Dog - Don't Worry Baby
Sad news about Brian Wilson. He was a pop genius, no doubt. Even though his music was sophisticated and right it could be played by amateurs too. The accessibility of it made it even better. So proud to have played on this version of Don't Worry Baby by Melody Dog. www.youtube.com/watch?v=N50e...

Dolls, pencils ... just a few of the gazillion things that are imported because they just aren't made in the US, for the most part. I've been writing about doll parts, for example.

Blythe dolls looking at a box of doll parts sourced from China.
Since doll collecting by adults is rather niche, there probably isn't enough demand in the US for manufacturing to gear up. A US-based manufacturer would need to consider tariffs, in addition to labor costs, if wanting to sell outside of the US. /3

Some Blythe doll history.
Whether any of that manufacturing comes back to the US is a question. Even the original 1972 Kenner Blythe doll was mfd in Hong Kong for Kenner Products, a toy company located in Cincinnati, Ohio, US. /2

Blythe dolls pondering tariffs.
"Tariffs, you say?" The dolls are talking about the effects of tariffs on the doll parts supply chain. Most, if not all, of their parts, including eye mechanisms, scalps, wigs, screws, etc., come from China. /1

When I lived in LA in the 1970s, someone set up a bartering system, mostly for small businesses. It's still considered taxable income, so it gets complicated, unless it's done person to person (small scale).

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
