Administrators Eric Posted September 16, 2020 Administrators Share Posted September 16, 2020 This happened 100 years ago today. Quote The Wall Street bombing occurred at 12:01 pm on Thursday, September 16, 1920, in the Financial District of Manhattan, New York City. The blast killed thirty people immediately, and another ten died later of wounds sustained in the blast. There were 143 seriously injured, and the total number of injured was in the hundreds.[2]:160–61[3] The bombing was never solved, although investigators and historians believe it was carried out by Galleanists (Italian anarchists), a group responsible for a series of bombings the previous year. The attack was related to postwar social unrest, labor struggles, and anti-capitalist agitation in the United States. The Wall Street bomb killed more people than the 1910 bombing of the Los Angeles Times, which was the deadliest act of terrorism on U.S. soil up to that point.[a] The death toll was exceeded in the Tulsa race massacre in 1921.[4] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_Street_bombing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Following the railing by the stairs downwards. About one inch (in the photo) to the left of the sidewalk....is a man with no hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blinders did end up setting up an operation in New York. I just don’t remember when it happened. They did enjoy blowing stuff up too, but that bombing sounds more like the work of their sister’s lot. ******* commies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a teen and cable TV w/ HBO was still a relative novelty for the masses, how many times you had seen a movie was something of a bragging right among my peers.

It is weird and the guy isn’t particularly comedic. I guess that is why he got canned. The movie would have tanked if they hadn’t made the change.

I first got cable when moved on college campus and basic cable was free. When i moved out after the first semester I did not get cable for my apartment. It wasn't until I married the future Mrs. Historian 18 years ago that I had cable. So...i missed out on a lot of television/movie watching.

Al Czervik Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I grew up as a cowboy, as in bucked off my first horse at 3 years old, punched cows, rode bulls, broncs, roped etc., on a real ranch. We had real hats for utilitarian reasons. I was partial to Resistol straw, and Billy Kidd Stetsons, just 'cause they looked good on me. I never could understand city folk wearing hats just to wear a hat. Of course now, with the advent of the Yellowstone TV show, you may wait a LONG time, but Greeley Hatworks makes some great stuff.
