Ethnic Renewal in Philadelphia's Chinatown
Philadelphia’s Chinatown, like many urban chinatowns, began in the late nineteenth century as a refuge for immigrant laborers and merchants in which to form a community to raise families and conduct business. But this enclave for expression, identity, and community is also the embodiment of historical legacies and personal and collective memories. In Ethnic Renewal in Philadelphia’s Chinatown. Kathryn Wilson charts the unique history of this neighborhood. After 1945, a new generation of families began to shape Chinatown’s future. As plans for urban renewal—ranging from a cross-town expressway and commuter rail in the 1960s to a downtown baseball stadium in 2000—were proposed and developed, “Save Chinatown” activists rose up and fought for social justice. Wilson chronicles the community’s efforts to save and renew itself through urban planning, territorial claims, and culturally specific rebuilding. She shows how these efforts led to Chinatown’s growth and its continued ability to serve as a living community for subsequent waves of new immigration.

Chronicles of Dr. Ann Bennet
We find Dr. Bennett standing at a window, staring down the city parkway. Dr. Bennett is reminiscing about her early years growing up in the area she calls home. The sights, sounds and smells of the world she has known, is about to end! Dr. Bennett has devoted decades of preparation for moving the best of what mankind has to offer to somewhere other than earth, not just scientists like herself, but musicians, artisans and people from all walks of life, that excel at what they do. Dr. Bennett was selected by the committee, to design a way station, underground moon base and space station to begin the journeys for thousands of lifeforms. Dr. Bennett also designed the sky cities of earth, that were mounted high above earth's surface to protect as many forms of life as possible, to produce food, and supplies for those who would live in space. Since the 1950's a select group of trained scientists knew the Ice Age was approaching, preparations began then.
