#Fiorello La Guardia

[newyorkthegoldenage]

Mayor La Guardia's war on pinball machines received a boost from World War II, when metal was in high demand. On February 21, 1942, hizzoner looked over a collection of scrap metal, including pin balls and their machines, to donate to the federal government. It was estimated that the haul would be enough to make four 2,000-pound aerial bombs.

Mayor Fiorello La Guardia and Parks Commissioner Robert Moses often didn't see eye to eye despite revolutionizing New York's infrastructure together. Near the end of La Guardia's term, Victini experiences this firsthand.

Tom Bosley before Happy Days (1 of 2) (1959-1972)

Tom Bosley's big break came when he landed the lead role in the Broadway Musical Fiorello! in 1959 about the Mayor of NYC from 1934-1946 and winning the Tony Award for his portrayal.

Tom Bosley as Fiorello La Guardia on Broadway in 1959.

Tom Bosley as Teddy in a TV Movie version of Arsenic and Old Lace in 1962 which starred Tony Randall and even included Boris Karloff.

Tom Bosley in an episode of Car 54, Where Are You? as a counterfeiter posing as a Preacher boarding with the Toodys not realizing Toody is a policeman.

Tom Bosley appeared in an episode of Naked City in 1963 as a judge hearing case of spousal physical abuse.

Tom Bosley as an executive in an episode of Route 66 in 1963.

Tom Bosley in his first theatrical movie Love with the Proper Stranger in 1963 with superstars Natalie Wood and Steve McQueen as an awkward, nervous date of Natalie Wood. Tom was 35 years old at filming.

Four months later in 1964, Tom Bosley appeared in The World of Harry Orient as the father of one of the girls tormenting Harry Orient played by Peter Sellers. Bosley's wife was played by Angela Lansbury.

Tom Bosley was in the first episode of Jericho in 1966, a WWII show about a team of Allied members working behind the lines as sabateurs and intellegence agents. Bosley, a civilian radar expert is called into duty, but his lack of confidence and bravery threaten the mission. This show lasted only 16 episodes. But the picture quality is very good. Other shows Tom Bosley guested on during this time were Ben Casey, Dr. Kildare, Ther Defenders and The Girl from UNCLE.

Tom Bosley's next movie role was in 1967, Divorce American Style starring Dick Van Dyke and Debbie Reynolds. Tom played newly divorced Debbie Reynolds first date where she learns how vast the extended families of multiple divorcees can be.

Bosley's next film was a spaghetti western, Bang Bang Kid in 1967. In the late 60's many American actors did at least one.

Tom Bosley's next movie was The Secret War of Harry Frigg starring Steve McQueen in 1968, playing one of the Generals taken as Prisoners of War. This was his first, maybe only shirtless scene as far as I know.

In early 1968, Tom Bosley was in an episode of The F.B.I. as a criminal suspect.

Charles Schwab House

The Charles M. Schwab House was a 75-room mansion in New York City. It was built for steel magnate Charles M. Schwab and was considered the classic example of a "white elephant", as it was built on the "wrong" side of Central Park, far from the more fashionable Upper East Side.

The house was designed by Maurice Hébert in an eclectic mix of Gothic Revival and Beaux-Arts, inspired by three French castles: Chenonceau, Blois and Azay-le-Rideau. It took four years to build (1902–1906) at a cost of six million dollars.

Schwab was a self-made man who became president of US Steel and later founded the Bethlehem Steel Company. However, he was a venture capitalist and went bankrupt in the Wall Street Crash of 1929. Charles died penniless ten years later, in 1939, leaving his home to be the official residence of New York's mayors. Unfortunately for the mansion, Fiorello La Guardia, then mayor, turned it down, saying, "what, 'me' in this?" After years of neglect, the house was demolished in 1947, replaced by a large apartment complex called "Casa Schwab".

In this version for The Sim 4, I made French gardens (I found the ones in the original house a little boring :P). The interiors were a big challenge, as I only found reference images for the staircase hall, but I tried to keep the same eclecticism in all the rooms.

King George VI and Queen Elizabeth travel in a motorcade during their visit to New York. With them are New York Mayor Fiorello La Guardia and Governor Herbert H. Lehman // June 10, 1939

For reasons of safety and speed, the Royal procession bypassed Broadway and instead took a more ‘open’ route on the way to the World’s Fair in Flushing Meadows:

They seemed to know a great deal about the layout of the city, and they asked many questions about it. I don’t know whether it is just my own disappointment about not being able to take them up Fifth Avenue and Broadway, but I gathered that they would have preferred that route. As we drove up the West Side Highway both the King and Queen asked several times how far we were from Broadway, and how far from Fifth Avenue. They were very much interested in Broadway.

At one point in Queens there was a section that did not seem to be covered well, and a large crowd of people surged downhill to fill it up. One of our motorcycle policemen swung over to keep them in bounds, and the King remarked, as if voicing his thoughts:

‘Don’t worry - the crowd always takes care of itself.’

Fiorello La Guardia // quoted in Voyage of State by G. Gordon Young (1939)

Ghostbusters lore time. The ghost classes are 1 to 7, class 1 being mist, flashing lights, disembodied voices, and floating objects. Class 2 are spectral hands, stereotypical bedsheets, and are otherwise vague and incomplete. Class 3 distinct human shape and personality but no established identity, more known for occupations in life, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree with ghosts. A chef will be a chef, and a taxi driver will be a taxi driver, and so on. Class 4 is when a 3's identity is established or well known. The mayor in the movie spoke with Fiorello La Guardia, who at that point had been dead for 40 years. Class 5 are non-human entities, being formed or spawned as the result of highly emotionally charged events or are byproducts of summoning rituals, Slimer is an example of this particular type. Class 6 are the spirits of lower lifeforms, i.e., animals merged into a larger, more threatening form, like fish schooling together. Class 7 are metaspectres, obscenely powerful, and typically, malevolent older cultures know them as demons or evil gods. Gozer from the movie is one of these.

Is now a bad time to mention I never watched a Ghostbusters?

By the early 1920s, if not earlier, some New Yorkers were skeptical that stringent regulations, model tenements, and rapid transit could solve the housing problem. Indeed, wrote the Housing Committee of the New York State Reconstruction Commission, a blue-ribbon body that had been appointed by Governor Alfred E. Smith after World War I, it had long been “economically impossible” to provide working people with decent homes at reasonable rents. If private enterprise was not up to the task, these New Yorkers concluded, “what else is there left to do except for the state or municipality to step in,” namely, to build good housing for working people and rent it to them at cost. In the vanguard of the campaign for what became known as “public housing” were the socialists, among them Judge Jacob Panken, who declared that it was the only way to solve the housing problem. Other New Yorkers came to the same conclusion. As Belle Moskowitz, an aide to Governor Smith, put it, “If [New York] cannot get housing in any other way, if it cannot get it through the speculative builder, if it cannot get it through cooperative associations or any other fashion, the city will have to build it.” Smith came out in favor of public housing too, as did Fiorello H. La Guardia, president of the New York City Board of Aldermen, and Henry H. Curran, borough president of Manhattan. Even Stewart Browne, a prominent real estate man (and something of a maverick in real estate circles), who opposed public housing in principle, saw no alternative. The Nation, a Progressive periodical, agreed. Pointing out that private enterprise offered no hope for relief, that capital “must have its interest,” and that landlords “will exact the utmost farthing,” it wrote in 1920 that only the government “can give homes to the people who need them and provide the homes that will be needed in the immediate future.”

자신의 조국을 사랑하고 괴롭힘을 싫어하는 뉴욕 로어 이스트 사이드 출신의 젊고 몸집이 작은 야심 찬 예술가가 슈퍼 히어로 페르소나를 사용하여 나치를 상대하고 전쟁 영웅이 되는 이야기를 알고 계실 것입니다. 캡틴 아메리카의 기원입니다. 공동 창작자인 Jack Kirby의 기원이기도 합니다. 캡틴 아메리카는 방과후 전쟁활동 다시 보기 사이트 OTT 82년 전 이달, 1941년 "캡틴 아메리카 코믹스" No. 1, Joe Simon과 Jack Kirby의 발명품. 유대인 이민자의 아들인 Hymie Simon과 Jacob Kurtzberg는 1939년에 초기 출판사인 Timely Comics(이후 Marvel)의 첫 스태프가 되었습니다. Simon은 26세에 편집자 겸 작가, Kirby는 22세에 예술가이자 아트 디렉터가 되었습니다. 미국은 한 달에 거의 백만 부를 팔아 즉각적인 히트를 쳤습니다. 이 미국의 화신은 네모진 턱, 금발 머리, 파란 눈을 가졌으나 메이플라워 가문이나 중서부의 심장부 출신은 아니었습니다. 그는 가난한 아일랜드 이민자에게서 태어난 로어 이스트 사이드의 빈민가에서 태어났습니다. Kirby는 이웃의 유대인 공동 주택에서 자랐고 Steve Rogers처럼 키가 작고 앙상한 아이로 끊임없이 괴롭힘을당했습니다. Rogers와 마찬가지로 그는 항상 자신의 입장을 고수하며 종종 금발의 남동생 Dave를 변호하기 위해 긁힌 자국이 생겼습니다. 그리고 로저스처럼 그도 일생 동안 어떤 종류의 방과후 전쟁활동 보는곳 다운로드 괴롭힘도 용납하지 않는 편협함을 키웠다고 그의 아들 닐은 말합니다. Kirby는 그의 작업에서 자신의 실명을 사용하지 않았으며 Curt Davis, Jack Curtiss 및 Fred Sande와 같은 일련의 분신을 가정하고 합법적으로 채택한 Jack Kirby에 정착했습니다. 모든 면에서 그의 유대인임을 매우 자랑스러워했지만, 그의 필명 중 어느 것도 셈족처럼 들리지 않았습니다. 그들은 모두 Anglo였으며 대부분 아일랜드 이름이었습니다. 그의 부모는 별로 달가워하지 않았지만 그는 "완벽한 미국인"이 되기를 원했습니다. Captain America의 분신으로 그는 아일랜드 이름 Rogers를 선택했습니다. 캡틴 아메리카를 로어 이스트 사이드의 제품으로 만드는 것도 의미가 있었습니다(2011년 영화는 브루클린으로 변경했으며 그 이후로 만화에서 일관성이 없습니다). 미국은 아니더라도 뉴욕에서 가장 다민족적인 동네로 알려졌는데, 대부분 최근 이민자들이 거주하는 가난한 빈민가였습니다. 사이먼과 커비의 방과후 전쟁활동 토렌트 전미적 아이콘은 이민자가 되는 것이 전미적이라는 것을 강력하게 상기시켜 줍니다. 또한 성경 이야기에서 정기적으로 차용한 Kirby는 부분적으로 David 왕에게서 영감을 받았을 수도 있습니다. 그는 또한 군복무에서 거부당했지만 흔들리지 않는 믿음으로 별 모양의 방패를 집어 든 작고, 간과되고, 예술적인 청년이었습니다. 그리고 그의 나라를 구했습니다.

첫 번째 호의 표지를 위해 Kirby는 좋은 라이트 훅으로 히틀러를 꾸미는 그의 영웅을 그렸습니다. 이 만화는 1940년 12월 20일(표지 날짜는 1941년 3월, 잡지에서는 일반적임), 진주만보다 1년 앞서 나왔습니다. 미국인의 93%가 참전을 반대하고 미국 엔터테인먼트가 독일인과 그 지지자들을 화나게 하지 말라는 대중적, 정치적 압력을 받고 있던 때였습니다. 그리고 여기 캡틴 아메리카가 그의 인기 만화의 표지와 페이지에서 세계 지도자인 히틀러를 때렸습니다. Kirby에게는 개인적인 일이었습니다. 그의 아들에 방과후 전쟁활동 넷플릭스 마루 티비 따르면 그는 특히 체임벌린의 회유와 수정의 밤 이후 유럽과 미국에서 나치즘의 부상에 대해 두렵고 분노했습니다. 그와 Simon은 직접적인 반응으로 영웅을 만들었고 Kirby는 "Captain America는 나 자신이었습니다. "라고 분명히 말했습니다. 그가 히틀러에게 펀치를 날리는 모습을 그렸을 때 "표면에 드러나는 것은 자신의 분노"였습니다. 그리고 반향이 있었습니다. 불과 1년 전에 5번가를 행진하고 매디슨 스퀘어 가든을 22,000명의 회원으로 가득 채운 독일계 미국인 와이탄은 "유대인에게 죽음을"이라는 우편물과 전화로 그들을 범람시켰고, 닐이 나에게 말했듯이 그들을 가로등 기둥에 매달겠다고 위협했습니다. 타임 스퀘어. 2009년 8월 31일 월요일, 미국 뉴욕의 Midtown Comics에 전시된 방과후 전쟁활동 무료 보기 Marvel Heroes 프리스비.

그룹이 사무실 건물 밖에서 기다리기 시작했을 때 Simon과 Kirby는 경찰에 신고했습니다. 얼마 지나지 않아 Fiorello La Guardia 시장이 전화를 받았습니다. 그는 열렬한 만화 팬이었고 대부분의 사람들에게 알려지지 않은 유대인이었습니다. 그는 그들에게 “저기 있는 너희들은 잘하고 있다. 뉴욕시는 귀하에게 해가 되지 않도록 할 것입니다.” 그 후 경찰 경비원이 정기적으로 사무실을 순찰했습니다.

Kirby는 1943년 6월에 징집되었습니다. 해안 경비대 기마 방과후 전쟁활동 다시 보기 누누X 순찰대에 합류한 Simon이나 육군 신호대 영화 부서에 합류한 보조 Stan Lee와 같은 대부분의 동료와 달리 Kirby는 Rogers와 마찬가지로 나치와 싸우기 위해 합세했습니다. 그는 육군 11보병연대에 입대하여 D-Day 10주 후에 노르망디에 상륙했습니다.

그의 그림 실력과 캡틴 아메리카의 공동 창작자로서의 명성 덕분에 그는 전진 스카우트가 되어 지도와 위치를 그리기 위해 적진 뒤로 보내졌습니다.

"Only a well-fed, well-housed, well-schooled people can enjoy the blessings of liberty."

Happy Birthday, Fiorello La Guardia (1882-1947)

Fiorello LaGuardia chose not to wear his Jewish heritage on his sleeve. In fact, he allowed the public to identify him as Italian, not Jewish, even under the most tempting of political circumstances. When issues of Jewish interest came up in New York or national politics, however, the "Little Flower" was an ardent advocate for Jewish rights. As mayor of New York, he was one of Hitler’s most outspoken opponents.[JVL]

  Did you know? In 1799, a prosperous merchant named Archibald Gracie built a country house overlooking a sleepy, scenic bend on the East River, five miles north of what was then New York City. Now, his home is one of the oldest surviving wood structures in Manhattan and the official residence of New York City’s Mayor. Financial hardship caused by the War of 1812 forced Gracie to sell his house in 1823. The property changed hands several times until, in 1896, the City of New York appropriated the estate, incorporating its eleven acres into the surrounding park that was renamed for Carl Schurz in 1910.  After years of use as a concession stand and as restrooms for the park, Gracie Mansion was restored and became the first home of the Museum of the City of New York. When the museum moved to its new building on Fifth Avenue, “power-brokering” Parks Commissioner Robert Moses convinced City authorities to designate the house as the official residence of the Mayor. In 1942, Fiorello H. La Guardia and his family moved into Gracie Mansion. #funfactfriday (at Gracie Mansion) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjJWljuP5zC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
