The Quest to Preserve Syria's Cassette Tape...

November 29, 2022

Mark Gergis has had what he calls an “obsessive” love of music since he was a child. Born to an Iraqi father and American mother, Gergis grew up in Oakland, California, listening to Iraqi music at home or at family weddings in Detroit, Michigan, where a lot of his family is based. Eventually he took a broader interest in Arabic music as a whole, but there wasn’t much of the genre in the American market in the 1990s. So...

November 28, 2022

Created in 2012 by local artist and teacher Deodato Inácio Santos, the faces are part of the larger “Walk of Poets” which includes other carvings and lines of poetry that enhance a trail through the preserve. In the summer of that year, Santos organized an explosion of art that turned...

Kahl-Bürg in Le Tréport, France

November 28, 2022

The Germans built the Kahl-Bürg after Operation Jubilee, the unsuccessful raid on the shores of Dieppe which saw the loss of hundreds of Allied (largely Canadian) soldiers in 1942. Using prisoners of war, many of whom were Ukrainian women, they dug deep into the impressive chalk cliffs of Le Tréport to create an expansive bunker, or an “underground castle” over a period of two years. It consists of 32 rooms on four floors and has five openings to the sea...

Stoke Newington Town Hall in London, England

November 24, 2022

Stoke Newington’s town hall is a prime example of 20th-century Art Deco design. Completed in 1937, the columns and pure white stone of the town hall made a sophisticated, yet striking, image. Within two years, however, this striking image proved an impending issue. War had begun, and it was feared the pearly building would become a target, easily spotted by bombers. While other buildings across the capital were sheltered by the darkness of enforced blackouts, it was decided that...

Bear Paw Battlefield in Chinook, Montana

November 24, 2022

In 1877, the Nez Perce tribe (also known as nimiipuu) had been relocated to...

The Candy Church in Petite-Rivière-de-l'Ile, New Brunswick

November 24, 2022

When this colorful church was constructed in 1913, it was distinctly more traditional. It was based on traditional Romanesque architecture, and its trim, constructed from wood from Columbia, was painted white. The rest of its features, the pillars, columns, pews, and altar were all painted in trompe l’oeil, a then-popular technique of painting an imitation wood. As the decades passed, the finishes darkened into a dark and dreary brown palette. Reverend Gerard d’Astous decided that it would be easier...
