Square Pillows
Description: The Off Ramp Cafe was a dive situated in an odd no-man's land corner of downtown Seattle. it was trapped between a concrete off-ramp from southbound Interstate 5 and the tangled intersections of Eastlake Avenue, Stewart Street, and John Street, and wedged below a massive wall of the Denny Way bridge over I-5. Finding the rather small 300 person capacity joint was a challenge and parking was near impossible, but those factors didn't prevent the venue from being a destination for bar patrons and indie music lovers alike. The venue was at the heart of the grunge explosion in the ’90s that changed Seattle and music forever
Description: At Madison Square Garden, 3 days before the 1936 election, President FDR called out "the old enemies of peace - business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering", saying "We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob", and "They are unanimous in their hate for me - and I welcome their hatred." Can you imagine any politician today talking like that? The full audio is on Youtube.
