Comment on De-cluttering a Visually Cluttered World by Terry

Wow, now that I read this — I can see it all over my own office space. Perhaps a challenge for each of us, non-architects, to improve what exists.

After reading your blog, I am really seeing all these “eyessores” we see millions of times during our life.
Like the 60′s song goes ‘signs,signs everywhere there’s signs….’.

I really appreciated the publication of the N.E.A.T. cards for the period they were available.

In keeping with the global perspective, would it be possible to somehow make the non-proprietary knowledge base available… so mistakes do not continue unabated.

Maybe I’ve missed something here?

Thank you.

We did manage to save 42 interior doors from this building ( and the bike rack). Unfortunately the birch flush doors do not in themselves identify the building very much. Maybe the loop aluminum bike rack says more about the building. Too bad I couldn’t get the windows and siding, but we got called only a few days before the track hoe showed up.

Your best bet would be to search the Ellis Island database, which includes all passenger ship manifests. There is a wealth of information available on this free database, searchable via immigrant name, age, and time of arrival. http://www.ellisisland.org/

Hello, it may not be appropriate to ask a question on this blog. As a first-time blogger, I could be breaking rules of etiquette. I am writing a book about the CPR, and have come across a Cunard sailing date (I believe) for the “Umbria” – September 20, 1888, from New York. My passenger came over on her as well, and I wonder what that sailing date from Liverpool might have been, allowing my passenge to catch her on the return crossing. I have the feeling that the sisters sailed from New York (say), two weeks after they had departed Liverpool (say). This makes sense for scheduling, but does not make alot of sense in terms of taking advantage of their potential. Does anyone know the likelyhood here? Cheers, Milo, Vancouver, BC
