The Mall | By Our Readers | Issue 527 | The Sun Magazine
Because I was fifteen and couldn’t drive yet, I took the bus to the mall to get out of the house and spend an unsupervised afternoon. The ride there in the early 1980s was like a tour of the economic history of the Seattle area. Starting from my Depression-era neighborhood, I passed a World War II–era steel mill; 1950s storefronts; warehouses and machine shops built in the 1960s; and rows of 1970s split-level houses.

That our car won’t pass inspection. That the bread I’m baking for dinner tomorrow won’t rise. That I’ll get fat. That worms will devour the kale at the campus garden I manage. That the student I supervise won’t get the grant. That my contract won’t be renewed. That I’ll get fat. That my dad’s Parkinson’s will decimate his mind. That my mom’s arthritis will leave her unable to tend her perennials. That my husband will get hit by a car while riding his bike. That I’ll get fat.
Astra Taylor's Question for the Ages, and Today: 'What Is Democracy?'
About two years ago, I met filmmaker Astra Taylor by phone when she called me about shooting in North Carolina for her documentary What Is Democracy?. We ended up talking for a very long time about film, politics, philosophy and protest. My partner Suki and I were in the process of finishing a film called Working In Protest, which we constructed from about 30 years of protest-oriented films.
“I’m Hurt Though I’m Not Surprised”: Demonstrators Protest the Chancellor Holt’s Silent Sam Decision
Last night, after Chancellor Carol Holt recommended storing the toppled Silent Sam—a monument to Confederate soldiers that has stood on the University of North Carolina’s campus for more than a century—in a new $5.3 million facility, which detractors called a shrine to white supremacy, hundreds of protesters gathered in Chapel Hill. Local documentarian Michael Galinsky, who has been capturing protests for decades, was there, and he’s given us permission to share this short.
After Battling Racism, Record-Label Executives, and Nineties Nostalgia, The Veldt Returns to Tell Its Story-And Perhaps For a Second Chance?
In the old days, The Veldt's vibe might not have been so mellow. On a warm weekday afternoon, most of the band—a longtime Raleigh cult favorite whose pioneering distortion-soaked soul went tragically overlooked amid the rise of indie rock—sits on cushions around a low, worn wooden table in the downtown apartment of cofounder Daniel Chavis. A breeze rattles the blinds, and a twelve-string acoustic guitar leans against the wall. The Veldt vocalist sips white wine from a coffee mug.
Stossel and Sarno
Stossel and Sarno Posted at 19:38h in All the Rage, Battle for Brooklyn, News 2 Comments In the 90’s, Ebay became the best way to find rare videos, mostly on VHS. In 1999, John Stossel profiled Dr. Sarno and his theories in a piece for the ABC show 20/20. Not long after it aired, that piece traded for hundreds of dollars on the Internet because it was the only media that existed on Dr. Sarno and his theories, and it was hard to find. Then Youtube emerged, and the bottom dropped out on that market.
