📝 A love letter from the Grid archives to the @ 📝 A love letter from the Grid archives to the @rdgterminalmkt on shopping the day before Thanksgiving. Written by the late Michael Holahan of @pageneralstore: “As a shopkeeper in the Reading Terminal Market, any busy day is a good day. But after 25 years at the Pennsylvania General Store, my favorite is the day before Thanksgiving. The energy inside this more-than-a-century-old public market is unlike any other time of year. Thanksgiving is about bringing together the people we love, to share a meal and to give thanks; as a merchant, it’s a privilege to be even a small part of this occasion.” ➡️ Read more about the Thanksgiving hustle and bustle of Reading Terminal Market at gridphilly.com (link in bio)! ✏️ Illustration by Andy Hood #readingterminalmarket #shoplocal #thanksgivingshopping #thanksgivingfood #shopphilly
📚 Editor’s Notes: A History of Erasure 📚 📚 Editor’s Notes: A History of Erasure 📚 The head of the Wampanoag sachem Metacomet (aka King Philip) sat on a spike at the entrance to Plymouth, Massachusetts, for two decades after his failed uprising against the English colonists was crushed in 1676. The colonists sent his family into slavery in the Caribbean. Metacomet was the son of Ousamequin (aka Massasoit), who rescued the starving Pilgrims in 1621. The version we learned in school painted Ousamequin as a kind neighbor who took pity on the Pilgrims. This generous act kicked off a friendship marked by a thanksgiving feast that we still celebrate today. Everyone lived happily ever after. The reality is much messier…We victors tend to tidy up the story to suit ourselves. We would rather not focus on the violent and sordid ways that created the United States, but framing the story with the Pilgrims as the main characters and the feast as the conclusion erases the savvy Wampanoag and their tragic fate. ➡️ Read the full note from our editor and more about the erasures of the past and present at gridphilly.com (link in bio) ✍️ @phillybillynature #philly #philadelphia #erasure #thanksgiving #historylesson
