The Legacy of Tun Tavern, Part II - Taverns served a vital role in the creation of the new American Republic. Researcher Baylen J. Linneken noted that taverns were “vital centers where colonists of reputations great and small gathered to read printed tracts, speak with each other on important issues of the day, debate the news, organize boycotts, draft treatises and demands, plot expulsion of their British overlords, and establish a new nation.” (Source: 2012, Baylen J. Linneken, Tavern Talk and the Origins of the Assembly Clause: Tracing the First Amendment’s Clause Back to Its Roots in Colonial Taverns.?Hastings Constitutional Law Quarterly?39 (3):593-628.) Some argue that the right to assemble, codified in the First Amendment to the Constitution, was born out of colonial American taverns. ? - Colonial taverns of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were typically operated out of dwelling houses, which served multiple purposes. For this reason, tavern architecture did not conform to one particular style, but rather drew on vernacular architectural forms, and taverns were visually similar to other domestic and commercial buildings. (Source: 2003, A.K. Sandoval-Strausz, A Public House for a New Republic: The Architecture of Accommodation and the American State, 1789-1809.?Perspectives in Vernacular Architecture?9:54-70). ? - Built as one of the earliest taverns in Philadelphia, the Tun Tavern was likely expanded in the early eighteenth century. Thereafter, several social groups began to meet there, including the first Masonic group in Pennsylvania and three groups that assisted people moving to the colony from Europe – the St. George’s, St. Patrick’s, and St. Andrew’s societies. These are just a few of the details shared in the report. “The new historical study offers fresh insights that will inform efforts to preserve and interpret the Tun Tavern’s legacy,” said Pat Dailey, president and founder of the Tun Tavern Legacy Foundation. “By analyzing the tavern’s architectural features and comparing them to other colonial-era structures, the report provides recommendations for how a historically accurate reconstruction might look.” As the Tun Tavern Legacy Foundation shares details from this comprehensive study, it hopes to spark interest in rediscovering and celebrating this historic institution’s history. Through careful interpretation, the spirit of the Tun Tavern can once again come to life.

Update on the New Orleans Red Dress Run Transphobic Facebook post controversy: they have now changed the website and put their page back up! Let's discuss and review the problematic issues from what was previously published and compare that to what they put up now. Also in the first live stream we discussed the formation of Red Dress Run & Hash House Harriers via colonialism. Today we will follow that up with why I don't believe the fact that Red Dress Run is "for charity" is a reason to sweep the transphobia under the rug, especially considering this is a result of colonialism utilizing colonialism to excuse colonialism. https://lnkd.in/gf88hp9T

?????? A Heartfelt Request from Soulhaven Foundation ?????? Amazing Community & Supporters, In our continuous journey to spread holistic well-being and sustainable living, we’ve encountered a unique challenge that brings us to seek your collective wisdom and networks. As many of you know, Soulhaven Foundation is the beacon of our mission to nurture holistic lifestyles for the betterment of our community and the planet. Our dream is to extend our reach and impact through a digital sanctuary that reflects our mission and values. This is where we would like your help. We wish to secure the domain Soulhaven.org to establish a dedicated online home for our non-profit endeavors. Unfortunately, our attempts to acquire this domain through conventional means have not been successful. Despite our best efforts through GoDaddy’s brokering service, we’ve been unable to establish contact with the current holder, who is associated with Sonic ISP from an earlier period of domain hosting. This domain holds immense potential for union with our existing site, Soulhaven.com. It represents a significant step forward in uniting our holistic lifestyles business with our non-profit mission under the Soulhaven banner. We believe in the power of community and the incredible network of professionals on LinkedIn. If anyone has insights, connections, or advice on how we might reach out to the owner of Soulhaven.org or if there are alternative strategies we should consider, your guidance would be invaluable. Moreover, should the current holder see this message, we are open to discussing options that could benefit both parties, including a tax-deductible donation of the domain to Soulhaven Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization. Together, we can make Soulhaven.org a reality, creating a space that fosters healing, growth, and holistic living for all. Thank you for any help, advice, or share you can offer to help us in this mission. Our hearts and hopes are aligned toward making a positive change, and with your help, we can make a significant stride toward that dream. May our journeys be blessed with peace, love, and rainbow light! ???????? Ms. Elizabeth Munoz Founder, Soulhaven Foundation ?? Join us in creating a haven for souls to flourish. ?? #SoulhavenFoundation #Healing #Unity #DomainJourney #Support #Nonprofit Sonic

There's been lots of talk about office-to-residential conversions recently - But not as much conversation about another class of building that's increasingly becoming emptier and emptier: Churches. "This landscape of faith is undergoing a dramatic transformation, as the United States is experiencing a “tsunami of church closings," reports Patrick Sisson in this piece from Bloomberg CityLab. In fact, housing consultant Rick Reinhard has estimated that?up to 100,000 houses of worship?— 25 percent of the total number of churches in the country — could shut over the coming decades. But while churches present unique opportunities, they also face a litany of challenges - from zoning to the architectural incompatibility of the historic structures.
