Volume one of Black Heart Fades Blue, a three-part memoir by the founder and frontman for one of punk rock's most notorious acts, Poison Idea In 1980, Jerry A. formed Poison Idea, a Portland-based punk band that gave voice to disaffected and disenfranchised youth for over thirty years. As happened to so many punk bands, Jerry A. and Poison Idea also went all in on drugs and drinking as they toured the country, spiraling out of control and blowing both the band and their lives apart. Black Heart Fades Blue is not an apology or a nostalgic catalog of events, but a true reckoning with one's past and present. A memoir of a time and a place and a movement, as well as a deep conversation about the memories and moments we leave behind, Black Heart Fades Blue is a deep exploration of an unconventional life.Show book

Urban renewal is a dynamic process aimed at rejuvenating and revitalizing urban areas that have fallen into disrepair or underutilization. It typically focuses on transforming old, decaying neighborhoods into vibrant, economically viable spaces. This concept, which has evolved over centuries, seeks to improve the quality of life for residents by addressing the physical, social, and economic issues within a community. Urban renewal is not just about physical transformation; it also serves as a tool to foster social and economic progress in cities. It represents a vision of growth and development, where cities evolve in response to changing needs, improving infrastructure, housing, and public amenities. The roots of urban renewal trace back to the early industrial revolution when cities began to experience rapid growth, creating overcrowded, unsanitary, and often unsafe living conditions. As populations swelled and cities expanded, poor housing, inadequate infrastructure, and environmental degradation became major issues. In response, urban planners and policymakers introduced initiatives aimed at reshaping cities. Early efforts to address these challenges were often driven by large-scale demolitions and redevelopment, aiming to modernize the urban landscape and provide more organized, planned environments. Urban renewal has, over time, become an essential strategy for tackling issues such as blight, poverty, and crime in urban areas. The mid-20th century saw the rise of large federal and municipal programs dedicated to rebuilding cities. These projects included the demolition of old buildings, the construction of new housing complexes, and the development of public spaces and infrastructure. However, these initiatives were often met with mixed results. While some neighborhoods flourished, others experienced the negative effects of gentrification, displacing long-standing residents and altering the community's fabric.Show book

A one-of-a-kind collection including some never-before-seen photographs of the wild and unforgettable WHA from legendary sports photographer Steve Babineau On October 12, 1972, legendary Boston sports photographer, Steve Babineau, was in attendance for the debut of the New England Whalers. They were taking on the Philadelphia Blazers at the old Boston Garden — and Babs was shooting the action. Fifty years later, he’s still photographing big-league sports events — but this lovingly curated collection documents both his earliest published (and unseen) works and the wild emergence of the colorful, revolutionary, wild, and unforgettable WHA. In an era when rolls of film still had to be changed by hand and cameras were focused manually, when arena lighting was questionable and images had to be captured through the haze produced by smoking fans, Babineau captured it all: the timeless legends who were finally getting paid, the journeymen who finally got a shot at the pros, the 17-year-old who would go on to rewrite record books, the brawls and goals, the glorious ’staches and flows, the highs and the lows … Behind the Lens: The World Hockey Association 50 Years Later has the Golden Jet and the Howes, the teams that seemed to change names and cities as often as some players changed wooden sticks, and even the true origin story of that Wayne Gretzky photo that’s become the million-dollar holy grail for sports card collectors.Show book
