The 1639 Story: Slavery & Freedom in Wilmington, Delaware
This month, August 2019, marks the 400th Anniversary of the first known arrival of enslaved Africans to what has now become the United States of America.
Inspired by the New York Times’ 1619 Project, this is Wilmington, Delaware’s story: The 1639 Story. A story of slavery and freedom in the small “First State” with a strong divide, and the city that would play host to some of the strongest advocates in the abolishment of slavery.

Abandoned, Vacant, and Re-purposed places in the Northeast
Here are the stories of these places:
Dunkirk Generating Station: Closed at the end of 2015
Lake Street Bridge: Closed in 2011 due to structural deficiencies, but is going to reopen in the future to pedestrians and cyclists once repairs occur.
St. Cabrini Novitiate: Directly behind the St. Cabrini nursing home, built in the early 1900's.
Steel Point: This vacant lot has plans to be redeveloped in the future.
Centralia: Near-ghost town in Columbia County, PA, due to an underground mine fire directly underneath the borough. The fire started in 1962, and after several failed attempts to extinguish it, most residents were moved out, and most buildings were razed in 1992.
Graffiti Highway: One road leading into Centralia was damaged by the mine fire, and the state eventually built another road around it, and stopped repairing it.
Flight 93 National Memorial: One of the four hijacked flights from September 11th, 2001 landed here. The visitor center opened in 2015.
Water Tower: This is the last remaining building/structure from the Anaconda Wire and Cable Company factory on the waterfront in Hastings-on-Hudson. There are plans to redevelop the area in the future, and possibly with keeping the water tower.
Wilmington Riverwalk: Old cranes were placed on the Riverwalk at Dravo Plaza.
Hermit Ruins: Irvington Hermit Johann Stolting built small buildings in the Irvington Woods in the 1880's. Many ruins, as well as his grave, are still there.
GM Plant: The land between Kingsland Point and downtown Sleepy Hollow was filled in for a General Motors plant, which closed in the 1990's. It is currently being redeveloped.
Old Croton Aqueduct: The first aqueduct carrying water from the Croton River to New York City was built in 1837 and operated until 1955, when a new aqueduct rendered it obsolete.
Asbury Park Casino: The building fell into ruins, and the carousel was moved out in the 1980's. It is still being fixed up.
Long Point: Former fishing town. All residents had moved out by the end of the 1950's, by sailing their houses across the harbor into downtown Provincetown. The lighthouse remains, but the area is only used as a beach.
Ellis Island: Major US immigration station from 1892 to 1964. Became a museum in 1990. A 1998 Supreme Court ruling determined that most of the island is officially in New Jersey.
Godfrey Windmill: Built in 1797, but was mostly shut down in the early 1900's. Repaired several times, and is now part of Chase Park in Chatham.
Knobley Tunnel: Former railway tunnel, reopened in 2011 to pedestrian and cyclist traffic.
SteelStacks: Former home of Bethlehem Steel, which closed in 2003. It has been transformed into a museum.

The Earliest Photographs of the United States of America: Part 1 (1840's)
Earliest 3D photographs of the United States:
Part 2 of earliest photographs of the United States:
Photography was introduced to the world in 1839 in France by Louis Daguerre and quickly spread throughout Europe, the United States, and the rest of the world. Surviving photographs taken of human subjects outside over the next decade in the United States in the 1840's are some of the most scarce in existence. This video attempts to assemble the largest collection of such photos taken between 1842 and the early 1850's.These are all either daguerreotypes or calotype salted paper prints.

HOW TO BE SAVED: To The Honest Enquirer, PRAY This prayer:
Lord Jesus, forgive of a life that ignored your participation in the affairs of mankind. I accept you as my Lord and savior. BELIEVE that you are forgiven. If you do, you are saved (Born Again). Visit a Bible Church and ask to be BAPTIZED

Southbridge Solar Farm in Wilmington, DE
The Wilmington Housing Authority (WHA), joined by Mayor Mike Purzycki, Governor John Carney and other local and state officials, today officially dedicated its new Southbridge Solar Park at 900 South Claymont Street. The 1.15 megawatt solar installation will save the housing authority money and provide clean, renewable solar-generated electricity to WHA residents. The solar array – developed, financed and constructed by New York-based Ecogy Energy— is currently the largest, privately-financed, public housing solar project in the United States.
Located at the site of the former 180-unit WHA Southbridge Extension, the solar farm is estimated to produce 40 million kilowatt hours of electricity over the lifetime of the project. The clean energy produced by this solar project is equivalent to the polluting CO2 emissions from more than 69,000 barrels of oil or nearly 33,000,000 pounds of coal burned. In addition to managing the construction of the solar park, Ecogy Energy will monitor and maintain the facility.
