Happy-Happy Holi-Days!!


Hi!!! Sorry 'bout the hiatus, just got busy with work.

Things have been busy here in library-land. Can't go into many details, but it's been a slice. I've still found some goodies though.

First and formost is the Thundersnake Blog. It's where I find so many of my more off beat sites. You do have to wade through some porn, but the gems to be found are well worth the trip.

Next is a pair of sites: CinemaTour & CinemaTreasures. Both are dedicated to preserving the movie houses of the past. They're really cool if you're looking for a throwback to your childhood.

Then comes Wierd New Jersey. I know seems wierd that a wookie in Skokie world be interested in Jersey, but these guys know thier stuff. They also are in cahoots with the Barnes & Noble chain to put out a series of books covering each of the States. They're also on The History Channel doing a show called Wierd America. Trust me, it's worth a stop. :)

Lastly, there's Deadmalls.com. This a cool site that documents the decline and fall of many an iconic suburban locus - places known as shopping malls. It's a wee bit eerie to see how some of these once mighty powerhouses of economic uplift have fallen into disuse, disrepair, and delapidation. Again, it's worth a stop ot two.

Well, gotta run for now. Cya soon!
