Exploring Illinois by Rich Moreno

Tuesday, March 8, 2011. More crooked than a Chicago politician: Burlington’s Snake Alley. It’s been called the Crookedest Street in the World—although some would say that distinction belongs to San Francisco’s Lombard Street—and it goes by the name of Snake Alley. Because of the hill’s steepness—it rises nearly 60 feet from Washington Street to Columbia Street—the alley has five half-curves and two quarter-curves spread over a distance of some 275 feet. Ironically, because of the number of tight hairpin ...

Exploring Illinois by Rich Moreno: Beware the Maneaters of Tsavo

http://exploringillinois.blogspot.com/2010/04/beware-maneaters-of-tsavo.html

Friday, April 2, 2010. Beware the Maneaters of Tsavo. The lions in the Kenyan region of Tsavo are different. For instance, fully grown males don't have full manes of hair like other African lions. Additionally, for a period of time in 1898, a pair of Tsavo lions acquired a taste for something that most lions tend to shun- -human beings. Finally, on December 9, 1898, he managed to shoot one of the big cats. In his later published account, which became the basis for the 1996 film, “The Ghost and ...He clai...

Thursday, February 4, 2010. The Biggest Man in Fishhook, IL. Ever. There was nothing small about Robert Earl Hughes. By the time he was six years old, he weighed an incredible 203 pounds—and, over the years, he just kept getting bigger. The ailment permanently threw his pituitary gland into hyper-drive and he began rapidly gaining weight. By age 10, he weighed 378 pounds, and three years later he was a whopping 546 pounds. Realizing he could no longer safely support his own weight, his parents reluctantl...

Tuesday, April 6, 2010. The Site of the Infamous Murder Castle. One of the most bizarre stories in Chicago history is the tale of America’s first serial killer, Dr. Henry H. Holmes, and his Murder Castle. In the summer of 1886, Holmes, whose real name was Herman Mudgett, went to work in a drugstore owned by Dr. E.S. Holton, in Englewood, a suburb of Chicago that is now part of the city. In addition to being a killer, Holmes was also a bigamist and a philanderer. In 1878, he had married Clara Lovering...

Saturday, March 7, 2009. 8216;This is the Place’—where Joseph Smith was killed. In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons), there are few places as significant to as the simple, two-story stone jail near the center of Carthage, Illinois. The Carthage Jail is the “Calvary” of the Mormon faith. It is the place where on June 27, 1844, the church’s founder, Joseph Smith, and his brother Hyrum, were shot and killed by an angry mob. After it was determined that the Nauvoo Court was not the pr...

Exploring ideas

I'm keeping this learning log as part of my ongoing Textiles degree with the Open College of the Arts. Tuesday, 17 June 2014. The end of Exploring Ideas. My holiday in India dominated Part 1 and I was unable to develop useful work using it as my theme. I didn't see that a contemporary twist might be possible from traditional roots. Whilst the work I produced was something less than exciting my disappointment with it enabled a lot of learning particularly about the creative process. Gaining an understandi...
