In a just world, we’d be feting legendary actor Philip Seymour Hoffman’s 55th birthday this month — and likely some new performance that made our jaws drop. Instead, we once again stop to reflect on the hole left in our cinema from his absence. I find myself thinking often about PSH or returning to watch clips of his legendary screen performances, though I’ve done nowhere near as much thinking about the man or his work than my guest on today’s newsletter, Jonah Koslofsky.

Hello and welcome to another week! I truly can’t thank you all enough for subscribing to my newsletter, I’m so honored to share this story with all of you. With that, let’s jump right in! There are few things I love more on this earth than Chili Cheese Fritos. I have always loved Fritos, but have only recently gotten in to the Chili Cheese variety. Growing up, my favorite cafeteria meal was Walking Tacos.

If it’s Monday, that means the news following a quiet and relaxing Father’s Day weekend in Food Doodland. The big news? Packard’s New American Kitchen will close its doors for good following service on June 30, the busineess announced over social media on Saturday. The Urban Management Inc. concept opened in 2013, featuring a full commercial bakery, farm-to-table menu and spectacular rooftop bar.

(Click on image to go to a zoom-amble image. Then it’s easier to read.) I am going to post the 1880 census pages for Blackberry Creek, where many of the feud events will soon occur. I will give as much insight as I can into the people who lived there and how they related to the principle people and events of the feud. Blackberry Creek proper begins halfway down this page, with household 89, that of Ulysses and Sarah Hatfield.

At the beginning of the year, I was invited by Gallery Nucleus to create an illustration for an upcoming group show. They are hosting an exhibition featuring the work of legendary Disney concept artist Eyvind Earle, and to celebrate the 74th anniversary of Sleeping Beauty, the gallery also planned a tribute show of artwork inspired by both the movie and the artist. I had a lot on my plate this spring, but I couldn’t say no to the opportunity.

PJ Dunn remembers the exact moment he was ready to give up on his dream of opening a brewery. A longtime homebrewer, Dunn worked for three years at Buffalo’s well-regarded Thin Man Brewery in a few different roles. But as he entered his late 30s and with two young children, he thought the time was right to move on. But just a week after talking with his wife and telling her he was ready for the next chapter, he received an unexpected direct message that changed everything.

One of my favorite Dutch songs is Over de muur by Klein Orkest. It’s a political song from 1984 about the Berlin Wall, the guarded concrete barrier that used to separate communist East Berlin from capitalist West Berlin. The chorus goes: Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when publishedOnly the birds fly from East to West Berlin They alone are not called back or shot down They fly over the Wall, over the Iron Curtain Because sometimes they want to be in the West And sometimes they want to be in the EastWhen I was studying Arabic in the West Bank, the endless Israeli walls and fences segregating the Palestinian people often reminded me of this song.
