City Hall & Hall of Records, Brooklyn N.Y.
"158-22 I P C & N Co." "Illustrated Postal Card Co., New York-Germany"--printed on verso. New York (printed in Germany)

#Brooklyn #NewYork #Germany #CityHall #BrooklynNY #NewYorkCity #City&townhalls #NewYork(State)

This postcard depicts a nighttime scene of City Hall & Hall of Records in Brooklyn, New York. The prominent building is illuminated with warm yellow lights and features multiple columns supporting its portico, which opens onto steps leading up to two flagpoles on either side. Above the main entrance stands a large bell tower rising into the night sky, adorned with flags at different levels around it.

In the background, another notable structure can be seen; this appears to have a green dome and is also lit from within, contrasting against the darker urban landscape of Brooklyn's skyline under a cloudy or moonlit evening sky. A bridge-like architectural feature extends towards City Hall on the left side of the image, suggesting connectivity between buildings.

The postcard bears inscriptions: "City Hall & Hall of Records" along with its location in Brooklyn N.Y., as well as what appears to be an old-fashioned stamp design at the top and bottom edges. The overall tone suggests a historical snapshot capturing architectural grandeur under the urban lights of early 20th-century New York City.

The photograph depicts a historic building labeled "New Court House" in New York City from an old postcard by I.J. Stern of Brooklyn. The court house features grand neoclassical architecture with prominent columns and statues adorning the facade, which gives it a stately appearance reflective of early 20th-century design. It is situated on what appears to be a street lined with lamps or bollards along its frontage. There's an overcast sky suggesting either dawn or dusk lighting conditions in this black-and-white image. The text at the bottom indicates that the postcard was published by I.J. Stern, Brooklyn N.Y., and bears the number "7T."

#NoOtherLand

Film screening:
Sun, Oct 6, 2024

Part of #NYFF62 at #BAM and #BAMFilm2024

Directed by #BaselAdra, #HamdanBallal, #YuvalAbraham, #RachelSzor (2024)

"This eye-opening, vérité-style documentary, made by a #Palestinian-#Israeli collective of four directors over the course of five years, provides a harrowing account of the systematic onslaught of destruction experienced by Masafer Yatta, a group of Palestinian villages in the southern West Bank, at the hands of the Israeli military. Headed by Palestinian activist Basel Adra and Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham (also two of the film’s directors), the collective commits itself to filming and protesting the demolitions of homes and schools and the resulting displacement of their inhabitants, which were carried out to make way for Israeli military training ground. In addition to the indelible footage of destruction and expulsion captured by its undaunted witnesses, No Other Land serves as a moving portrait of friendship between Adra and Abraham, who form a philosophical and political alliance despite the drastic differences in their abilities to exist freely in this world. Winner of the Panorama Audience Award for Best Documentary Film at the 2024 Berlinale."

SHARON JONES
"THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND"
Mastodon Post

This Land Is Your Land
from Naturally by Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings
[Daptone Records]

sharonjonesandthedapkings.band

Woody Guthrie really didn't like the song, "God Bless America." So, he wrote verses of his own with at least a working title of "God Bless America for Me."

This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York island
From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters
God bless America for me

Sharon Jones took verses from that early creation and worked them into "This Land Is Your Land" in its most commonly known form, resulting in this excellent version of the song.
