Embark on a journey through time with the harrowing tale of the Great Blizzard of 1888 an infamous winter tempest that swept across the Atlantic coast, leaving an indelible mark on history. With New York City bearing the brunt, this catastrophic event inflicted over $20 million in property damage and claimed the lives of more than 400 people, including around 100 sailors.

Triggered by the convergence of a western snowstorm and a southern warm front after a mild winter, the blizzard unleashed its fury on the night of Sunday, March 11. By Monday morning, New York City was already buried under 10 inches (250 mm) of snow, with the storm intensifying to eventually blanket the city in a staggering 22 inches (550 mm). Other regions faced even more colossal accumulations of 40 to 50 inches (1,000 to 1,250 mm). Relentless high winds, plummeting temperatures, and destructive gusts reaching up to 80 miles (130 km) per hour compounded the perilous conditions.

The storm brought the city to a standstill, with closures affecting everything from shops and government offices to Wall Street businesses and even the Brooklyn Bridge. Despite escalating weather conditions, many New Yorkers, unaccustomed to blizzard conditions, attempted to navigate the city for work, resulting in countless individuals stranded on streets, trains, elevated transit cars, and at their workplaces.

In the aftermath, survivors commemorated the storm's anniversary annually until 1969, acknowledging its profound impact. Officials, recognizing vulnerabilities exposed by the blizzard, implemented transformative measures such as placing power and telegraph lines, as well as public transit, underground. The Great Blizzard of 1888 became a pivotal moment that reshaped urban planning and disaster preparedness, leaving an enduring legacy that echoes through the annals of history.

Me: I hate fans that insist Gotham’s in New York when DC says it’s in New Jersey! Why won’t they just accept that?? It’s been canon for YEARS—

DC: Metropolis is in Delaware.

Me: Shut the entire fuck up.

#Metropolis is in upstate NY #NYC is in the middle. Gotham is in its shadow. Metropolis is somewhere eastern or upstate #originally it was upstate NY so that’s where it’s going!!!!#you could even put it in Connecticut for all I care #just not Delaware #batman #superman #Gotham #metropolis #dc universe #dc

Gala and Dalí in the ticket booth of the pavilion “Dream of Venus” by Dalí for the New York World Fair (1939)

Facade of the pavilion “Dream of Venus” conceived by Salvador Dalí for the New York World Fair (1939). Ph. Julien Levy (AIC)

The pavilion featured a spectacular facade full of protuberances, vaguely reminiscent of the Pedrera building by Antoni Gaudí. The main door was flanked by two pillars representing two female legs wearing stockings and high-heeled shoes. Through the openings of the irregular façade, visitors could see reproductions of the Saint John the Baptist by Leonardo da Vinci and The Birth of Venus by Botticelli. Between the painter's initial ideas and the [...]

Christopher Walken, right, then known as Ronnie Walken, and his brother Glenn rolling out dough in their father's bakery in Astoria, ca. 1955. Both young Walkens were child actors, appearing in early TV soap operas such as The Guiding Light and The Secret Storm.

Paul and Rosalie Walken opened their bakery on 29th St. & Broadway in 1931, and the business thrived for several decades. Paul came from a family of German bakers, and most of the bakery's employees spoke German. One of them, in the early 1960s, was Lidia Bastianich, who years later became a celebrity chef. Her family, Italian refugees, lived across the street from the bakery.

The Walkens and their three sons, Kenneth, Ronald, and Glenn, lived in a five-story apartment house near the bakery at 30-83 29th St. They later bought a house in Bayside. Rosalie Walken lived there until she passed away in 2010, at the age of 104.
