| When did garages become commonplace? |
Posted by boomerang on May, 15. :: 17 Comments
We are going to have to build a new garage so when I'm out ambling wih the dog I've been snooping through the neighborhood looking at garages.
Most of the houses in my neighborhood were built between 1920 and 1930. It is hard to tell if the garages are original to the structure/plot or not. Would they have been?
At some point some builder had to say "We're putting a garage on every house we build." When might that have been?
I did try a quick Google on the topic but didn't come up with anything really related to the architectural history of garages so I decided to post here hoping someone might just know something about it.
Thanks!

| Historians and Segregation |
Posted by Christine MM on May, 04. :: 1 Comment
Do white historians give accurate details of the segregated south which include lynchings or do Black historians give a more accurate detail?
I am specifically talking about the era between 1900 and 1930.
I'm interested in any particular debates you know of between historians - no matter if they are Black or White.
What are some of the views historians have of the segregated south and lynchings?

I know that "Quo vadis?" renders as ""Where are you going?".
Would "Quo vadimus?" render as "Where are we (all) going?"

| Decyphering eyeglasses frames |
Posted by SallyMander on April, 27. :: 9 Comments
Hi - I may order eyeglasses online. Found a frame and have my prescription (all except pupil distance, which I will get measured).
I am puzzled about frame sizes notations. I don't expect on-ground frame store staff to know or tell much about these questions:
1. Assuming the categories in 54-15-135, the only size of the frame I like, mean 54 width (what unit of measure? between what points?) 15 nose bridge (between where) and 135 temples - in plain language are 54 and 15 relatively wide and is 135 relatively deep? Are these custom or standard-sized frames, S-M-L-or odd-sized?
2. For indoor computer work use only, how important/necessary are UV and anti-glare if one sees no glare with bare eye? Glass versus plastic?
3. The prescription lists numbers for Distance, Reading, and Total Reading, with Total Reading circled as "Computer RX," which looks like a compromise between my "Distance" and "Reading." So I plan to order that.
Any info or other suggestions for online glasses ordering?
Thanks!
