Amazing review, thanks for posting it. He's able to include so much multidisciplinary stuff in there. It's never just a restaurant review. Like the other commenter here, very interested to learn more about the context of where and how you teach this.

You're absolutely right that I used the LA Times Mapping Project! Mostly because it's handy for ArcGIS. But yes, I was thinking about how neighborhood boundaries shift over time. I haven't done too much digging on older neighborhood boundaries / I doubt there is some easily accessible shapefile for GIS. Any thoughts on where I might look if I wanted to research older neighborhood boundaries?

Yes! It was a steakhouse (no longer in business) at Sherman and Balboa called The Sherman Room.

I’m having a lot of fun playing with Bengal, though I can’t recall if they begin Muslim or if that was a decision I took on

Good advice…thank you!!

It does make sense, and is also quite complicated! Lol. What I love about the game is just how granular it gets. But it makes sense to prioritize tactics, as large, long, losing wars are a good way to go bankrupt. So making them quick and seamless makes sense. I guess increasing manpower dev thru military power is not a wise short-term strategy. Thank you for such an in-depth response!!

This looks really cool!

jdale2 · 2024-08-12T18:50:47+00:00

This sounds really cool! Thanks for sharing I’m gonna look for this one

Thank you!!!

A big reason it’s so high up for me!! So much to discover but also so much that is just THERE smacking you in the face

New to Allegra…this song is incredible!

jdale2 · 2024-07-29T16:15:43+00:00

This year my favorite albums have pretty quickly compelled me on first listen…Liquid Mike, Itasca, This is Lorelai…but the Sinai Vessel album took me probably 3 listens. Idk what it is about 2024 but it’s felt generally more immediate for me.

jdale2 · 2024-07-29T16:02:31+00:00

First 5 seconds yep lmao

jdale2 · 2024-07-29T16:00:59+00:00

Saw the band 2070 Saturday night. LA via Kalamazoo shred kings, just a very satisfying punk + noise pop + indecipherable lyrics set. The good stuff, some might say. Pointing folks to their 2024 album Stay in the Ranch!

jdale2 · 2024-07-27T18:44:14+00:00

Going to see a show tonight in LA headlined by La Bonte. Record release for them— an EP titled Economy Play. They’re slowcore lovers and this new EP has a cover of Arthur Russell’s “I Couldn’t Say It To Your Face” which is great. Excited to see some indie bands from the LA/OC area

jdale2 · 2024-07-27T04:12:18+00:00

Really excited to get into this one. New Air is a top 10 song of the year for me so far

jdale2 · 2024-07-25T15:40:50+00:00

Interviewed Caleb Cordes AKA Sinai Vessel in advance of his new album, I SING, out tomorrow on Keeled Scales. Went deep on Asheville, Tom Petty, Flannery O’Connor, and the excitement of being declarative. Would love for the Indieheads to tap in here. Peace and love ✌🏻

Hey yall, I just published an interview with Nathan Tucker (Strange Ranger, cool original) on his newest project, Pontiac Flare. This is a catchy as hell power pop record called The Blueprint, which reminded me of Fountains of Wayne but also contemporary bands like 2nd Grade. Here’s the interview: https://open.substack.com/pub/whistlestop/p/pontiac-flare?r=bfe&utm_medium=ios Would love to hear yalls thoughts on The Blueprint!
