Young and McShea Pier Atlantic City - 1890s

The Daily union history of Atlantic City, New Jersey : containing ... Hall, John F., fl. 1899-1900

J. R. Applegate, in 1883, was next to embark in the pier business. He bought one hundred feet of beach front at the foot of Tennessee Avenue for $10,000, paying $3,500 for one fifty-foot lot and $6,500 for another next adjoining where his picture galleries were. It was a double decker, artistically finished, with an amusement pavilion at the outer end 625 feet from the walk.

This pier from the upper deck afforded a fine ocean view and was built to accommodate several thousand people. 

This pier and real estate was sold in 1891 to Messrs. Young and McShea for $56,000 and has been extensively enlarged and improved since, till it now extends 2,000 feet into the ocean and for years has been the great centre of attraction along the beach front.

A large net, hauled twice daily in summer at the outer end, brings up a large and varied assortment of the animal life of the sea, which is of infinite interest to visitors. From this net specimens of fish of all sizes are secured for the large tanks on the pier, where living specimens may at all times be seen.

In one large pavilion, 80 by 200 feet, hops, cakewalks, baby shows and entertainments are given and in another still larger auditorium meetings and conventions are provided for.

A small trolley system carries visitors from the entrance out to the net, and a continuous program of popular attractions during the season afford diversion to thousands.

As a resting place, where the ocean and bathing grounds may be viewed, the pier has become indispensable. Otherwise the congestion of travel on the Boardwalk might become decidedly unpleasant, where now the surroundings are of the most novel and enjoyable character.

FAKE NEWS

I can only imagine an illiterate man in a bathrobe most of the day surrounded by by pornography and a check book taking the times in between shtuping and running a “Fortune 5,000” company thingy and sitting hour after hour watching talk shows from the 50s forward from their invention of listening to other people talking back then talking about life in show business and the occasional few sound bites of a book hawker pretending facts, that this perfect intellect and wit could do anything else than present himself as star of his own “reality show” one day.

Enough of talking about yesterday’s trash, ripening by the minute past Prime.

That there was always a east coast and then a west coast prejudice in the national points of political and economic views - news? - being attached to the source points of these visual electronic TV media things in places like Manhattan and Burbank.

That someone like Ted Turner centered his media thing CNN in his backyard of Georgia as a base for global reporting. Reporters all over the globe only needed a point on the globe to transmit sound and pictures via satellite to a home base or HQ to redistribute and sell sound and pictures to Manhattan or Mountaintop Colorado.

CNN got a foot up on others in the cable TV concept to challenge the power and seeming might of the big three then NBC, CBS, and ABC, ABC an artificial entity created in the fifties to break up the so called Monopoly of CBS, NBC.

That many places in Flatland and Mountaintop USA that only got TV transmissions from CBS in olden times.

That it is of note that CBS and NBC were privately owned at their beginnings and some of those founders of sound in the 1920s of Radio pushed smoothly into the TV Zone after WWII when mass consumption of TV entertainment and televisions pushed forward the new emerging, first here, global economy.

That CBS, under its primary owner from the fifties onward on the TV side of news, had news as a leader and loss on the books as an expenses of profits of shows like Beverly Hillbillys selling to tobacco on its commercials, a show with a heavy children’s audience.

Which leads to the concept of “Pay TV” - in the future when you would pay to get TV with no commercials - a faulty futuristic thing that sounds vaguely what was advertised with cable TV up front but the profits in this being a perfect capitalistic country demanded that PAY TV / CABLE TV / PAY THROUGH THE NOSE TV demanded the blessings and grace of the Almighty Dollar on a worthy project of any money making enterprise. A-men!

Pay TV - you pay and get to select which a dozens of your POV gets shown to U 24 7...

Which means leading with a loss product like news means that news cannot be subsidized in a mickey mouse like corporation like ABC etc.

And move the Today Show to Chicago. Well Bryant and Matt, who make all the network cash, don’t want to move to flyover country with very few Michilin starred restaurants or views of Central Park penthouses. “Lake Michigan has a view” (laughter over lunch  w/ NBS big wigs) ha - ha - ha ...

As to the opinions of the female staff of that show, they are only females and automatically have no real opinion except that of side kicks to male stars and at best “honorary” first class show biz citizenship if not in reality second class political citizenship rendered by the Creator on gender.

But let’s not go there here and now.

And injured white male privileged egos in the seventies demanded that prejudiced eastern news sources were the primary reason for the downfall of favorite Tricky Dick, that and he got caught, and he got a “raw” deal or its political lesson meaning that “truth” and or “facts” of a loaded news network with your POV is all you need to beat minor burglary charges, spying and money laundering.

And Roger who sold cigarettes on Madison Avenue in his day and applied it to Tricky Dick in 1968 and any major political competition blown away so to speak, oh the tyranny of chance and or “conincidence” - got together the fake bond capital of a ridden out of London on a rail former sheep farmer from Australia and founded - bow your heads - “Focks News”.

RNC talking points could now originate in overpriced, overpaid think tanks, full of cast off party cronies or from Ivy League unpaid interns at Focks to balance out the east coast prejudice (codes?4 an ethnic group?) news industry of CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC etc.

And the poor from the old days in Flatland and Moutaintop USA who used to only get magic TV transmission waves from CBS or NBC see nothing wrong now in watching one channel Focks for all their noise and or fake news.

Brilliant for that bathrobed rich bum to sit around and analyze what sells in America with all those ten of thousands of research hours on the bed.

Shameless and the lives of Actor William H Macy and his Jailbird Wife Felicity Huffman - Life imitating Art?

I happened to watch the season premiere of the Showtime Grifter Show's tenth season of Shameless. The druggies and cons and wasted lives of poor white Pig Shit Irish trash and the inner circle of friends and fockers on Chicago's south side - welfare cheats, fences, drug and sex addicts soap opera -light immoral humor / farce with real life consequences - nothing has changed much since I stopped watching in the middle of season seven I think out of boredom. Nothing except that after nine seasons of moronic loser behavior and such, Fiona (Emmy Rossum) had finally left the cast in search of other bona-fide acting opportunities. 

William H Macy's wife Felicia Huffman got her tit caught in a washing machine roller with bribery charges of trying to get one of her daughters - have someone pull a Teddy or Jack Kennedy and have someone take a college level test for her, a SAT test. Easier in the old days when there was no photo on Driver's Licenses btw. 

No word of what Ivy League college they were going to bribe their daughter into, maybe the University of Pennsylvania in Philly, just like Trump?

Felicity got jail time - two weeks - wow. 

White Male Privilege for the breadwinner William H came into play and he beat the rap and was surprisingly not charged.

Macy is an "actor" and star of Shameless in its tenth and tired season of jumping the Whale by a Whale of an actor and cast. 

Etc.

Tea Party Jesuit Educated Trump Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney Confesses to Crime of Quid Pro Quo in Unkraine Scandal

George Washington and Emoluments 1796

The London Times (1796) - his Royal Ambassador to the Yankee Republic did attend a private sale of horses from President Washington's plantation in Virginia in Philadelphia near the western river there. Private by invitation and admission price from the general public. That it was remarked by the French and Spanish ambassadors in attendance near his Royal Ambassador was the remark of the refusal at the gate of all admissions fees for foreign ambassadors as the horses were owned by General Washington and their constitution refuses him the right to foreign monies of any like kind.

Splainin Your Life in 50 Words or Less – the new global culture

We just hit the 7 billion mark on the planet’s population thing.  A lot of articles on it on the Internet.  I did not read one of them.  Why?  I really don’t give a shit.

This global culture thing that I have been exploring and writing about these past few years does not exist.  No doubt the environment of earth will collapse with another half dozen billion gobbling, consuming, shitting assholes on it.  I don’t care.  I will be long dead.

I used to care.  I used to think that other people cared. 

But with no disrespect to Facebook or the Internet or gold plated tin gods like Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, the only thing the planet cares about in terms of my existence is name, serial number and photo.  And please describe yourself, your life, your dreams, your aspirations, fears, tears and cheers in fifty words or less in the box beneath your name, serial number and photo.

I am over the word limit.  Red marker.  Does not compute. Fuck you robot computer data base, the new god of us all!

Amen.

(word count inclusive up to Amen – 184)

Mark me down as a rugged individualist, a trouble maker, anarchist, or just another asshole, one of 7 billion, on planet earth.

DO NOT HAVE A NICE DAY. Do not pass Go.  Do not collect $200.  If I have to splain – don’t ask – I ain’t tellin.

Etc.

Mother Cabrini - A Great Soul Being Insulted By/In NYC Politics

Mother Cabrini in her lifetime did more charity for the benefit of humanity than a dozen billionaires today and their greasy check books. This is more than an ethnic thing to me. Pity she is being tossed around today as some sort of political football in a popularity contest/poll for statue space to reinforce feminism and not true female power of soul. I won't call the mayor's wife biased but she and her circle have a lot of PC blindspots. Just saying.

https://nypost.com/2019/10/13/cuomo-on-cabrini-statue-snub-is-symbol-of-difficult-times-in-this-country/

Speaking at Saturday night’s Columbus Citizens Foundation Gala, Cuomo urged the entire Italian-American community to “stand up” in support of the honor — calling it an “affront” that Mother Cabrini was passed over despite coming first in a poll by first lady Chirlane McCray’s “She Built NYC” statue program.

Cuomo suggested that the rejection was emblematic of the “difficult times in this country” with the “pain and the injustice of discrimination.”

“There is a fear, there’s an anxiety, there’s a divisiveness that you see and feel every day,” he said.

“As Italian-Americans, we must also remember that we ourselves are not immune from attack. The ugliness of Italian American stereotyping is still alive and well. Our battle is not over.”
