“Extending into the harbor from the grounds of Fort Preble on the Southern Maine Community College
Campus in South Portland, visitors will find a conspicuous profile in the landscape at the end of a 950-foot breakwater.
It is Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse, a caisson-style lighthouse built in 1898 to warn mariners of a dangerous
ledge in Portland Harbor upon which it sits.” — Source: visitportland.com

Old Tucson Studios — Photo-Artistry by kenne
TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — It’s been just over a year since Old Tucson Studios closed its doors.
The famous western attraction shuttered because of the pandemic. Now, after a long and at times
secretive process, Pima County is getting ready to announce who will take over the lease.
“The proposal period now has closed and they are actively considering whatever proposals have come in,”
said filmmaker and Chair of the Arizona Film Expo, Daryl Mallett.
Mallet was also a member of the Pima County Old Tucson Task Force. They helped in the county’s
process of finding the right developer to take over the lease of Old Tucson. Although he doesn’t know
who County Administrator Chuck Huckelberry will recommend to the supervisors, he does get a sense
the decision will be announced soon. — Source: KGUN9.com

I Am The People — Leave a comment
“The Worker” — Image by kenne
I AM the people — the mob — the crowd — the mass.
Do you know that all the great work of this world is
done through me?
I am the workingman, the inventor, the maker of the
world’s food & clothes.
I am the audience that witnesses history. The Napoleons
come from me & the Lincolns. They die. &
then I send forth more Napoleons & Lincolns.
I am the seed ground. I am a prairie that will stand
for much plowing. Terrible storms pass over me.
I forget. The best of me is sucked out & wasted.
I forget. Everything but Death comes to me &
makes me work & give up what I have. & I forget.
Sometimes I growl, shake myself & spatter a few red
drops for history to remember. Then — I forget.
When I, the people, learn to remember, when I, the People
use the lessons of yesterday & no longer forget
who robbed me last year, who played me for
a fool — then there will be no speaker in all the world
say the name: “The People”, with any fleck of a
sneer in his voice or any far off smile of derision.
The mob — The crowd — The mass — will arrive then.
— Carl Sandburg

The Return
I’m coming back
for my wings.
O let me come back!
I want to die where
it’s dawn!
I want to die where
it’s yesterday!
I’m coming back
for my wings.
O let me get back!
I want to die where
it’s origin.
I want to die
out of sight
of the sea.

Flashback — Double Bayou Dance Hall Leave a comment
Double Bayou Dance Hall (May 25, 2005) — Image by kenne
Opened in 1941
a blues dance hall
in a black community
in bayou country
not far from Houston.
Music lovers from
all over southeast Texas
came to dance
drink beer, eat smoked brisket
and sweet potato pie.
Born in Double Bayou
Texas bluesman Pete Mayes
provided the house band
at the “the place” before time
and hurricanes condemned it.
Still standing
surrounded by overgrown
weeds and Spanish moss-draped
trees fronted by a historical marker
by Eagle Ferry Road.
A Christmas Day matinee
became an annual event
where the House Rockers
rocked out the blues
for holiday merrymakers.
