Celebrating Albion's preserver of its African-American history
Black History Month Series: Part 1
©The Recorder February 6, 2015
Robert E. Wall, Historian
During his almost 30-year teaching career at Albion Senior High School, Robert Wall's excitement about his own research of African-American history shone through to his many students. The local stories and experiences of the local community in which he'd grown up, many of whom named him as their favorite teacher in particular. Enough so that he received the W. K. Kellogg Excellence in Education Award twelve times.
Wall, who was born in Albion, attended the all-Black West Ward Elementary School and graduated from the Washington Gardner Junior-Senior High School in 1959. After that, he studied music at Youngstown University for three years, served in the army for another three, and worked in Detroit and Lansing, eventually earning a BA in History at Michigan State University.
In 1976, 'Mr. Wall' returned to his home-town's high school to teach, created a research-based African-American History course and served as an administrator until his retirement in 2003. In addition to his public school teaching Wall also taught African-American History classes at Albion College, Olivet College, and Kellogg Community College. He has appeared numerous times as a guest lecturer/speaker in both the History Department and the Education Department at Albion College.
Quite simply, Robert Wall loves teaching – especially in the settings where he can impart the story of the Black experience in his own community, which started its vibrant growth in November 1916 with the Great Migration of African-Americans who moved up from the South for factory jobs in Albion, Michigan.
Then, in late 2014, retired teacher and city councilperson, Lenn Reid, launched a project to rejuvenate Albion's Holland Park – built on the site of Wall's former West Ward Elementary School – by securing $55,000 in grants from the FireKeepers Local Revenue Sharing Board and the Albion Community Foundation for site work and playground equipment.
History Hill in Holland Park, site of the former West Ward School.
When Wall learned in a chance encounter with Albionite Jerome Washington about the intention of developing a "History Hill" project in the center of the park to tell the West Ward story, he realized it was the perfect opportunity to play a major role in educating even more folks about the history of the school he'd attended, what led up to its creation, and what led to its closure and the integration of Albion Public Schools in 1953. So, he joined two other local historians, Dr. Wes Dick of Albion College, and Leslie Arden Dick in working out language for another grant request, this time for $25,000, from the Michigan Humanities Council, an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. With help from the City of Albion and Greg Strand at Albion College, the grant was procured about two years ago, and the History Hill project began.
"I got into this literally by accident," Wall recalls with a smile. "And it took on a life of its own!"
Having amassed a collection of photographs of the West Ward School, its pupils, and its environs, over the years, along with additional photos Wall himself had started taking of the Albion neighborhood in the 1970s, he had quite a collection to illustrate the project.
Next, Wall tracked down fellow West Ward alums, starting with names of "about 18 or 19 students I remembered. Some were deleted, and some were added, but I called every single one personally, because I knew them." He ended up with 22 subjects who agreed to meet him for video-taped interviews – with his own interview among them. Except for his, Wall conducted the rest of the interviews, with Leslie Dick behind the camera. Twenty of the subjects still resided in Albion; Von Washington traveled from Kalamazoo for his taping, and Bill Holland filmed his while here on a visit.
"We wrote a set of questions that we asked every person," Wall explains. Once he was through the set questions, he went off-script, and that gleaned new info for his research from the oral histories, some surprising, personal stories. Wes Dick, after brainstorming with his two fellow historians as they reviewed each interview, did all of the final writing for the project. He also waded through years of Albion Public Schools Board of Education minutes for more research information on the school.
Today, Wall says the whole History Hill oral history process was "affirming. What stood out for me was the confirmation of my own memory, the accuracy of my impressions of West Ward: that it was a very stable environment, virtually because of the Malleable [foundry]. I can't tell you how stabilizing that was for the community. More than one person talked about having multiple 'parents.' It was an accepted norm that any parent could correct any child, and that was okay. We were poor, but many of the people said we were enjoying life, and we had good times." Those times, Wall stressed, were when the 'village' really was raising the children.
"[The interviews] called to our attention how good we had it, despite the poverty. We were getting a fairly consistent message," he said, explaining how they'd see their teachers during the school week, and then at church on Sunday. "[The message was], one, that work was honorable, and two, that life would be better if we were able to choose the factory, or not."
Very pleased with the way the History Hill project turned out – viewers enjoy a series of annotated photographs, and can even hear additional information on their smart devices – as they walk around the circular setting, Wall comments: "While it's the history of what used to be in that space, [the project] shines light on the fact that it's the whole city's history and a product of the Great Migration. Without the Great Migration, we wouldn't have West Ward School or that surrounding community!"
The Black historian says he'd give History Hill 9.5 stars (out of 10). "I think it's a fantastic project. It's really peaceful to just sit there and contemplate the history of the area. We're still working on other aspects, like a couple of inter-active kiosks to access the website. Also, I have full-size panels of all the photos, so we can literally 'take the park to the people.' We want to make sure the stuff gets utilized." He's hoping school field trips will visit Holland Park, or if they are not able to, a presentation can be done in their classroom.
"Besides Wes and Les Dick, I'd really like to say that the city workers gave 110 percent on the installation," Wall said, explaining that they helped ready it in time by working late into the night before the project's dedication on August 13, 2016. That crew was organized by Harry Longon, Larry Maynard, and Mike Riddle of the City of Albion.
After two years of intense work on the Black history project, Wall is happy doing things these days that just strike his fancy, and enjoying his beloved jazz music.
"This project allowed me to draw on all aspects of my personality, and as an authentic member of this community – I lived it! – and as an historian," says Wall.
All 22 oral history interviews, lasting from 30 to 60 minutes, can be seen in their entirety at the project's website, maintained by Leslie Dick, at www.albionwestward.net.

Many students use commencement to motivate themselves to buckle down during finals, but Kevin Hoyt used the dream of crossing the stage and accepting his diploma to push himself to walk again.
In the fall of 2012, Hoyt was an average CSU Online MBA student. He was working full time, had a wife and kids, and wanted to build a better life for his family.
But halfway through his degree his world was turned upside down when he fell from the attic in his Utah home on New Year's Day in 2015, crashing through the ceiling of his living room and landing on the floor nearly 20 feet below.
He spent the next month adapting to not being able to use his legs and figuring out how to move forward with life as a paraplegic.
Kevin Hoyt lies in bed next to his wife and children in an intensive care unit after his accident.
"I was pretty certain I was done with school at that point," said Hoyt, unsure if he'd be able to be successful in the classroom again.
Diving into "tons and tons and tons" of physical therapy, he was able to return to his job as an engineer at a local tech company three months after his accident. But he kept thinking about school.
Hoyt started with single-credit courses to see whether he could handle the work, and after realizing, "You know what, I think I can do this," he forged ahead.
"I've used the motivation of walking across that stage at graduation to get myself physically to that point," said Hoyt, who spends the majority of his time alternating between a wheelchair and using canes to support himself, but he can walk short distances unassisted.
Kevin Hoyt works through exercises with a physical therapist at Neuroworx in Sandy, Utah on May 4, 2017.
Cate Meyer, who worked with Hoyt as an instructional coordinator, was struck by his resilience throughout his time as a student, unaware of the physical challenges he faced while tackling some of the most challenging coursework in the program.
"If I were to choose to not continue going, it would not be anybody's fault but my own," said Hoyt, who concentrated less on the things he couldn't do and focused instead on what he could still accomplish.
He began making changes around his home to become more independent, installing smart technology capable of remotely controlling devices like lights, thermostats, fans, door locks and doorbell cameras.
When the time came during his last semester at CSU to complete a capstone project and develop a plan to launch a business, Hoyt decided to use his experience to help others. He worked with classmates to create a plan for a company that would empower people with mobility difficulties by installing home automation systems similar to his own.
Kevin Hoyt sit-skis alongside his son Cameron during a winter outing in February 2016.
And now Hoyt doesn't want to leave that idea behind, and intends to launch the company – Transition Tech Solutions LLC – that grew from his time in the College of Business.
Hoyt's challenges have shifted the way he views his work and the impact he can make on people's lives.
With his family watching from the crowd during the College of Business commencement at Moby Arena, Hoyt approached the stage in his wheelchair. Rolling to a stop in front of hundreds of cheering onlookers, he slowly rose to his feet as students led a standing ovation. Hoyt crossed the stage, shaking hands with beaming faculty members. After two and a half long years, he'd finally accomplished his goal, and it couldn't have felt better.

An air conditioner draws heat from the air inside your house and pushes it outside. It then uses refrigerant to replace the warm air inside your home with cool air. An air conditioner can only send energy one direction, which means all it can do is cool your house.
Air Conditioning is an ideal choice for people who already have an efficient heating system in their home. If you already have a high-efficiency gas furnace, an air conditioner is probably the right choice for you, because they typically cost less up-front than heat pumps.
The big mechanical difference between an air conditioner and a ductless heat pump is that a heat pump can reverse the flow of energy, so it can pull heat from the outside air to warm your home, but it can also pull heat from the air in your house and cool it off. Unlike an air conditioner, which can only be used during one season, a heat pump can be used to keep your home at a comfortable temperature throughout the year.
In the fall, when it's cool, you can efficiently heat your home with a heat pump. If you are replacing a furnace or have an older, inefficient furnace and are considering adding AC, a heat pump is an energy-efficient choice that will satisfy both requirements. However, a heat pump isn't as robust as a traditional heating system, so when it gets really cold, you will still need to use your furnace or another heating system from time to time.
Still have questions about heat pumps vs. air conditioners? Schedule your free consultation today.


Miss America empowered me to: use my education in finance and accounting to start Money $heep, a 501(c)(3) organization that helps youth build a financial foundation.
Bio: As a little girl, I remember the excitement of earning money from selling a lamb and the thrill of watching my savings account grow and reinvesting some of the money. The lessons I learned about raising sheep turned into a commitment to use my accounting and finance education to teach youth about basic financial principles through Money $heep. I wrote a children's book on financial literacy, Mr. Money $heep, and donated 10,000 copies to youth to create a state-wide financial literacy initiative. The curriculum and partnerships I have created have prepared me to hit the ground running as Miss America.

Martin Skrtel: I am NOT leaving Liverpool
LIVERPOOL star Martin Skrtel has rubbished rumours he is set to quit Anfield.
Jack Wilson
NEW DEAL: Skrtel wants to stay at Liverpool [EPA]
The centre-back, 30, has been linked with moves to Wolfsburg and Napoli.
His current contract runs until 2016 and the Reds have put on offer on the table for him to stay.
Skrtel said: "I am not leaving anywhere. Not to Wolfsburg nor to Naples."
The Slovakian joined Liverpool in 2008 and has established himself as a key part of the side.
His agent Karol Csonto confirmed there had been no contact from the Wolfsburg.
He said: "The only offer which is lying on Martin Skrtel's table right now is the extension of his contract from Liverpool.
"We have been working on the details, and we will be finalising it soon.
"It is not true that he has some offer from the German club. I don't know anything even about their interest."


ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — With speculation swirling around the pending roster move the Twins must make when Trevor Plouffe returns to the lineup, Miguel Sano remains calm.
Sano has been among the players named as possible candidates to be sent to Triple-A Rochester when Plouffe is ready to return from a fractured rib, with that move expected to be announced Monday, according to Twins manager Paul Molitor.
After Sano finished Friday with three hits, including a solo home run in the eighth inning, he said he's trying to ignore any thoughts of any moves the team has to make.
His three-hit night on Friday marked his first multi-hit game since July 23 at Boston, which was also the last time Sano hit a home run.
Plouffe, meanwhile, went 1 for 4 with a double on Friday with Triple-A Rochester playing all nine innings and was back in the lineup at first base for Saturday's game. Plouffe is expected to be back in the Twins' lineup on Tuesday when Minnesota opens a four-game set against Houston.
Who goes to open a place for Plouffe on the roster remains a mystery.
Sano's 16th home of the season in Friday's victory marked the 34th of his career in 157 games after hitting 18 in 80 games last season to finish third in the American League Rookie of the Year voting.
His 34 home runs through his first 157 career games set the mark for most in franchise history. Jimmie Hall hit 33, Justin Morneau 31 and Tony Olivia 30 at the 157-game mark.
Joe Mauer continues to make Tropicana Field his personal playground with a career .402 average following Friday's two-hit night. He has reached base safely in 30 of 31 career games in St. Petersburg and has a .503 on-base percentage heading in to Saturday's game.
Mauer, who has appeared in all but five games this season, could get the day off for the Sunday's finale of the road trip, in part because Minnesota is playing at Tropicana Field.
Sitting Mauer would take one of the hottest hitters in the league out of the lineup. Entering Saturday Mauer was 14 for 22 (.636 average) on the first five games of the road trip with eight extra base hits to go with eight RBIs.
Twins prospect Zander Wiel was named the Single-A Midwest League Player of the Month for July one day after he was named by Minnesota as the organization's top player of the month. Wiel led the Midwest League in extra base hits (18), home runs (8), RBIs (24) and slugging percentage (.660) and finished second in runs (21), total bases (66) and walks (17). Wiel had nine-game and 10-game hitting streaks in July.
According to Elias Sports, Eddie Rosario's two-run, pinch-hit home run in the seventh inning Friday marked the first pinch-hit home run that turned a deficit into a lead for the Twins since Matt LeCroy's ninth-inning pinch-hit grand slam against Toronto on May 19, 2004. … Before the game, Molitor caught the ceremonial first pitch from the grandson of former Twins catcher Earl Battey.

Cut into small chunks the British outdoor-grown rhubarb. Crush the piece of ginger. Deseed and finely dice the red chillis. Juice the oranges.
1 Put the chutney ingredients in a saucepan.
2 Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until the rhubarb is soft and breaking apart – add a splash of water to loosen if it starts to stick.
3 Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
4 To cook the pork, heat a frying or griddle pan over a medium-to-high heat.
5 Rub the pork on both sides with a little oil, and season with salt and pepper.
6 Sear the fat and edges of the pork, and cook on each side for 7 minutes, or until cooked through.
7 Transfer to a plate or board and leave to rest for about 5 minutes.
8 Top with rhubarb chutney, and serve with rocket and roasted new potatoes.
Chutney was easy to make and was delicious, I added more chilli to mine.
Loved the sweet and tangy nature of this dish with the pork.

Bee-doo! Bee-doo! I had a physics test today and it went well! I'm so happy and relieved at the same time. I hope the result will be satisfying! I still have a history test on Saturday but it's already good that tonight I can rest a little..
I took these photos last week but just got the chance to edit them today T.T. When I took these photos, it was already past 4pm and the sky became orange and make my photos' tone look bad. So if you notice slightly different tones on some photos, please forgive me. It's so hard to make it 'greener' and less 'orange'. I really should get myself a new camera! Any recommendations? I prefer powershot, not DSLR.. (too heavy! .___.) . And its' selfshoot feature has to be good.
I am not sure when you updated the layout recently, but this is a very cute layout for your fine blog. As for your outfit, I love both the blue coat, the orange skirt, and the wedge sandals. The neon handbag is also lovely as well as the necklace. Cute face and hair!
I love the color blocking !
your trench coat is so cute !
Very adorable <3 love your satchel!

Home : Locality : Surroundings : Verona - KM. 200
Verona - KM. 200
Through its architecture, Verona tells its story of changing rulers: beginning with the Roman settlement, then the Age of Commons, the Age of the Seigniory of the Scaligeri,
Venetian rule and the rule of the House of Hapsburg.
In the central square, Piazza Bra, the great Arena stands out. This Roman amphitheatre has been hosting the prestigious Summer Lyric Festival and many concerts for decades. Nearby there is Casa di Giulietta (Juliet's home), with its famous balcony, which thousands of people visit every year, fascinated by the story of Romeo and Juliet, the two lovers in Shakespeare's famous tragedy. Walking through Piazza delle Erbe square, and then, mingling with the people leading their daily lives and visiting the colourful city market, is a very pleasant experience. And to take a step into the past, into the period of the greatest glory of the Seigniory Scaligera, you only have to go to Piazza dei Signori and admire the great palaces, the Loggia and the Palazzo della Ragione. Don't miss a visit to the Duomo, the famous altar-piece by Titian, the nearby Basilica di Santa Anastasia and the Roman Theatre. Also, you shouldn't miss a visit to the Basilica di San Zeno, a fascinating example of Roman architecture, and Castelvecchio, an ancient manor from the fourteenth century that currently houses the Civic Museum.
Verona must be experienced through art and architecture: walking through its palaces, its churches and squares. Verona is a journey through history, culture and… love.
Eating in Verona…
In addition to various typical dishes, for example the bollito con la pearà (boiled meats with pearàsauce) or the pastissada de caval (horse meat), the Verona area offers natural and high quality products, including 'Riso Vialone Nano' rice, the only one in Italy boasting the European trademark of Protected Geographical Indication, the Monte Veronese cheese and the extra-virgin olive oil of Garda Lake. These products can become part of exquisite recipes that can best be served with local PDO wines like the Bardolino from the Garda Riviera, the Soave wines, the Valpolicella wines, and of course the famous Amarone.

Hopefully, you have learned more about mindfulness during our past few days together and you feel ready to begin implementing mindfulness practices into your life.
As a review, mindfulness is pushing the "pause" button on your busy and sometimes chaotic daily life to be aware of your five senses in the present moment and settle into the right perspective of life's circumstances. Consistently practicing mindfulness allows you to release yourself from the expectations of others and any pressures you are placing on yourself by bringing your body and mind back to the most basic levels of awareness, focusing on your five senses and how different sensations affect these senses.
You should also remember that you will likely encounter obstacles along your journey to mindfulness, but these should not discourage you from continuing on. If you know how to approach these obstacles, they can become stepping stones instead.
Distractions – When you experience a distraction, notice it without judgment and then bring your attention back to your breath.
Skepticism – Trust the process and recognize that while you may not see immediate results, it is likely that your family and friends are, so ask them for feedback and encouragement.
Impatience – Keep a long-term perspective, recognizing that you will not notice improvement from day to day, but rather from week to week and month to month as your well-being improves.
Compulsive or Addictive Behavior – Your compulsive or addictive behavior pushes you to escape the present moment instead of dwelling in it, so push past your urgings and commit to your mindfulness practice instead.
Review the list of mindfulness resources below and take a step towards pursuing one of them: order a book, subscribe to a podcast, download an app. By integrating a mindfulness resource into your daily life, you will have a built-in support system in addition to your family and friends.
Mindfulness is a way of life that can help calm my addicted mind. I will commit to integrating it into my life and trust the process along the way.
In a few weeks or months, you will notice the impact that mindfulness practices have had on your life, and you will wonder how you got through the course of a day without slowing down to be aware of the present moment. Undoubtedly, your family and friends will notice a difference in your mental, emotional, and physical well-being as well and they will be so glad you started this journey. Hopefully, mindfulness will become so integrated into your life that you will be set up with the tools you need for handling any present or future situation confidently and calmly.

ICRI 2017 Fall Convention | Eastern Testing & Inspection Corp.
The International Concrete Repair Institute's (ICRI) annual Fall Convention was held at the Hyatt Regency in New Orleans from November 15-17, 2017. This year's theme is focused on "Docks, Locks, and Canals," featuring technical sessions, committee meetings, an exhibit hall, networking events, and much more. The event provided an opportunity for repair and restoration professionals to advance their knowledge of concrete repair, protection, and restoration.


after buying a Polaroid camera at a yard sale for $20, which subsequently turned out to be broken, William Miller began making abstract works of art with the faulty camera.
"It sometimes spills out two pictures at a time and the film often gets stuck in the gears, exposing and mangling them in unpredictable ways," says William.
In his series Ruined Polaroids, William showcases the photographs resulting from the internal manipulations within the camera which he's learnt to control with great success.
These beautiful images are both photography and art, a collaboration between the abstract and the serendipitous mechanical nature of camera. Some of the photographs remind me of the cross-section from a gemstone or a piece of fossilised rock. A inspiring series which keeps the viewer captivated and searching for more behind the layers of colours and shapes.

Insiders 029: Late-Stage Retail
Phillip JacksonMarch 11, 2020
"We don't rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training." - Archilocus
What in the world happened when the calendar ticked over to 2020? We ended 2019 on such a positive note - jobs reports were up, the economy booming. U.S. retailers, especially online retail, had a banner holiday in 2019.
And then 2020 happened. Suddenly we're now in the midst of a global economic crisis under the threat of COVID-19 becoming a pandemic, this week saw the start of a global oil war, and DTC darlings are falling down left-and-right.
Maybe Archilocus was onto something - and I fear we're not prepared for the road ahead. I fear that our level of training in eCommerce is, and has been for the better part of 10 years, to prey on basest of human emotions in order to elicit a sale from a customer.
This group of dark patterns and manipulative techniques disguised as best-practices are a trendline heading in the wrong direction, a phenomenon we've been calling Late-Stage Retail here at Future Commerce (a topic we've discussed at length in Episode 116, "Late-Stage Capitalism").
Three years ago, The Atlantic magazine wondered why suddenly everyone was talking about late capitalism, especially given its Marxist origins. The author, Annie Lowery, traced how the term came into existence (although Karl Marx himself didn't coin it, his followers did), and how it has morphed over time. Ultimately, she explains:
"Late capitalism," in its current usage, is a catch-all phrase for the indignities and absurdities of our contemporary economy, with its yawning inequality and super-powered corporations and shrinking middle class."
This definition piqued our interest here at Future Commerce, because for a while now we've been looking at the indignities and absurdities of modern retailing, as well as the impact of the inequalities of the sector on middle- and working-class people.
This raises the question: how is retail affected by late stage capitalism?
Late-Stage Retail
There are many indignities in retail, and some are too ridiculous to even be amusing anymore, though some are worse than others. I'm sure every reader has their own favorite example of absurdity, whether it's a $425 pair of jeans made to look muddy or an expensive internet-connected juicer.
Growing inequality is harder to laugh at. We are seeing a rise in luxury malls and brands alongside a spate of store closures that serve middle and working-class people. The vast economic divide also means one side gets to call the shots, while the other faces increasingly cruel situations.
Many of the businesses that have closed over the last few years, like Payless, Dress Barn, and others may benefit those who are calling for an end to boring retail, but those stores closings along with mall closings may have actually caused problems for families on a budget in areas without a lot of options.
But we also see encouraging trends; retail "heroes" who are seeking to serve bootstrapped communities, create and market sustainable products, pay their employees a living wage, and treat their suppliers ethically and fairly. Unlikely heroes like Dollar General, which announced it will open 975 new stores in rural areas as well as expand its produce sections in order to alleviate food deserts. They're also the founders of numerous DTC brands who are focusing on sustainable and ethically produced products, B Corp-certified companies, and even the Business Roundtable, which recently redefined the purpose of a corporation in ways that speak directly to our Future Commerce values.
For us, the standout brands are those who aim higher than just creating a business that sells something: they foster the growth of communities, and they have a purpose that seeks to better the lives of people.
Can the collective efforts of our heroes reverse the "indignities, absurdities, and yawning equalities" of Late-Stage Retail? We certainly hope so, but we must recognize the inherent conflict they face: transforming retail so that it works diligently to serve all the communities that retail businesses are in. Wealth generation is the top priority of investors, but that doesn't mean that retail cannot provide what customers actually want.
Gilded Age 2.0
Amidst the non-stop talk about a retail apocalypse, there's one sector whose star shines brightly: Luxury. According to Deloitte, the luxury market racks up $247 billion in sales, and enjoys 10.8% growth in year-over-year sales. Luxury apparel in particular is growing faster than any other sector, including technology, consumer goods, and the automotive and financial industries. Even personal fitness is going luxe -- brands like SoulCycle, Peloton, and (my personal favorite) Tracksmith.
New brand offerings are catering toward extreme ends of the marketplace, leaving a glut of customers in the middle class without options. Says Web Smith of 2PM:
Contrary to popular opinion, retail isn't dying. Instead: changes in earnings, increased debt loads, and decreased consumption rates are beginning to polarize some consumers. The middle is being squeezed and retail failed to anticipate this socio-economic shift.
The middle, indeed, is shrinking. At the close of 2019, there were more "haves" in America than "have nots." And while "lower class" has grown, the upper-income bracket is growing faster, and has been for the past 10 years, causing many retail brands to aim toward that growing market segment and away from middle-class offerings.
The shrinking middle class: via CNN
Working-class people in less densely populated areas are the ones who are experiencing the real retail downturn.
US retailers closed 9,300 stores in 2019. The collapse of Dress Barn, JCPenney, and Payless Shoes hit the lower middle class hard. Less-publicized closures from Walgreens, Family Dollar hit even harder.
In theory, Middle-class consumers still have plenty of access to retail. According to the Economic Innovation Group some 86.5 million people, many of whom are middle class, live in prosperous zip codes with lots of retail opportunities. Still, the stores that built their businesses around the middle class have shuttered at higher rates. In 2017, 16 companies accounted for almost 50% of all retail store closings -- virtually all of whom "built their businesses on the 20th century's middle class suburban boom."
So how are things going for the middle classes? Just Google "things the middle class can't afford anymore," and you'll see countless articles explaining why health care, college educations for their children, pets, gym memberships, vacations, new cars, even visits to the dentist are out of reach.
Data suggests that this link isn't coincidental, and I believe as we head into uncertain financial times we will resort to more overt shifts of strategy to further abandon the middle class.
Unbridled capitalism isn't tolerated; why is unbridled retail okay?
Unrestricted capitalism -- the unbridled drive to grow an economy and wealth for its investors at the expense of all other priorities -- is fundamentally scary. Fortunately, it's more myth than reality. Numerous hallmark legislative acts -- Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Truth in Lending Act, Fair Credit Billing Act, the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act -- put restraints on capitalism. And in a wholly capitalistic world, there would be no bank or auto company bailouts, billion dollar subsidies to oil companies, or tax breaks that relieve some of the most profitable companies in America of a federal tax burden.
But retail is different: Congress has never mandated Publix or Kroger to open or remain in rural areas, nor has it forbidden Walmart to move across county lines in search of bigger and better tax incentives. The best local governments can do is cajole retailers into serving their communities with promises of multi-million (or in some cases billion) dollar tax incentives. Other than that, it's pretty much laissez faire. That leaves retailers answering to their shareholders exclusively, which means major mall owners and retail brands focus where they will extract the best ROI: prosperous locations.
There's another bit to this story. According to a Retail Dive analysis, more than 15% of brands acquired by private equity firms have filed for Chapter 11, including Toys R Us and Sports Authority. Leveraged buyouts saddle retailers with crippling debt, and many eventually shutter, although investors are richly rewarded. Such brands largely served the middle class.
What's At Stake
At its core, retail is a division of labor: shoemakers make shoes, farmers grow food that grocers sell. Thanks to this division of labor, we are free to pursue occupations of our choice, knowing we can procure the necessary goods and services to sustain our families.
Its impact doesn't end with confidence. Retail has direct effects on:
Home Equity Value. Homes that are less than a mile from a retail center are worth up to 8% more than those further away. A local Walmart can increase home values by 2-3%, according to an economics research paper from the University of Chicago and Brigham Young University. And research conducted by Zillow in 2014 shows that homes near a Trader Joes and Whole Foods have a median value of $406,600 and $376,000 -- significantly above the national average of $229,000.
Employment. Retail is a significant employer, supplying nearly 16 million people with jobs, per The Bureau of Labor Statistics. Store closures obviously lead to higher rates of unemployment, Since 2017, retail has shed 140,000 jobs.
The nation's youth have faced the worst impact. The Labor Department reports that in 1990 there were three million retail jobs for people aged 16 to 19; today it's closer to one million.
Regional Economies. The impact of retail closures isn't limited to affected store employees; closures have a ripple effect in the local economy, including cleaning services, security staff, attorneys and accountants. With less money in their pockets, regional consumers shop less, which means less sales tax for municipalities.
Health. The Louisville Courier Journal has been studying the impact of grocery store closures in the region on the health and well being of local residents. The paper writes:
"Across Louisville, more than 120,000 people are living with food insecurity, meaning they don't have reliable access to healthy, affordable food. The issue is linked to higher rates of illness and lowered life expectancy in predominantly low-income neighborhoods."
One hopes that's a rallying cry for grocery executives to follow Dollar General's lead and service communities within food deserts.
Retail is Getting Cruel
A telltale sign of Late-Stage Retail is the rise of cruelty -- to customers, employees, suppliers, and even to nature. It's difficult to overlook the atrocious ways customers are now treated. Retailers and tech companies vacuum up vast amounts of consumer data, unbeknownst to the individual customers, in order to prompt them to make purchases that they may not be able to afford.
Online retailers deploy a host of dark patterns -- creating a false sense of urgency -- to increase sales conversion and AOV, regardless of the impact on the end consumer.
Consider the egregious dark pattern, sneak into basket, a tactic in which a site "sneaks" additional items into a customer's cart, which the customer must a) notice and b) actively delete.
A subscription "dark pattern" found on the Wall Street Journal wine club
All too often online retailers require the user to call or mail a request for cancellation or a full refund (as in, print out a form, fill it out, find an envelope, put a stamp on it, drop it off in the mailbox, and wait for the retailer to act). Wealthier buyers may not bother, which is probably why so many retailers deploy the tactic, as Princeton Research documented this past summer.
Shop Like It's Your Job
As Brian pointed out in Insiders #009, consumption is part of our job, especially in our late-stage retail world. We need to buy lots of stuff, consume growing amounts of content, and purchase (and then over-share) unique experiences. If we don't, the responsibility for a flailing economy rests solely on our shoulders. And on top of all that spending, we must get value out of everything we buy, and if we don't, we're not holding up our end of the bargain.
Even acts meant to aide consumers have created more friction than they have prevented, requiring numerous implicit-and-explicit "clickwrap" agreements that result in popup after popup an agreement (with no actual choice) to be tracked, to be monitored, and forcing the consumer to repeatedly dismiss various forms of attempts towards conversion.
Tweet by Dennis Shiao
And so with Late-Stage Retail, consumption becomes constant work, a requirement, a mandate. Shopping, reading, watching, posting, listening, eating, vacationing, partying, decorating, former fun activities- all require more work. Just because something is entertaining or addictive doesn't mean it's restful.
The New Atlantis, a journal of technology and society, succinctly highlighted this dichotomy:
"Judging by how Americans spend their money — on shelter magazines and kitchen gadgets and home furnishings — domesticity appears in robust health. Judging by the way Americans actually live, however, domesticity is in precipitous decline. Families sit together for meals much less often than they once did, and many homes exist in a state of near-chaos as working parents try to balance child-rearing, chores, long commutes, and work responsibilities."
And that's Late-Stage Retail in a nutshell: consumers will buy ever-more-expensive goods they can't afford now, on credit (or installment payments), and eventually, default under the crushing weight of debt while the economy slows, jobs become scarce, wages shrink. And whose fault is it? The consumer's, of course.
We wondered aloud on Future Commerce in 2019 -- what would happen to disadvantaged consumers with older smartphones and prepaid data plans? If their access to goods and services dries up as one retailer after another goes belly-up, does that put them in a better or worse position as a consumer? Where will they go to shop? Will they shift to digital channels? Is Amazon the primary beneficiary of this channel-shift? Is that why Amazon introduced reduced-price Prime benefits for those on government assistance?
One can only wonder, then, what the future holds during a global epidemic when human interaction is limited and shoppers are forced to use eCommerce to conduct most of their purchases.
It's time to recognize the responsibility we have in the retail community. If our "level of training," as Archilocus describes it, is selling based purely on FOMO or social status, then what world are we creating? Are we treating people with dignity in the path to purchase?
I fear that our "level of training" is to prey upon base instincts and desires, to use trust-building language and offers to dismiss doubt that they're making an ill-considered purchase, and then to make life difficult for them when they wish to "undo" the transaction.
We can, and should, do better.
Over the next year, we will explore the many issues presented here. Specifically, we will explore:
The state of retail today
What we believe the industry should strive for
The cost of failure
How we can ensure our future
The mindset and philosophy
Future Commerce makes no pretense about predicting the future; we seek only to identify and report on emerging trends so that retailers and founders can shape their future.
It's more important now than ever before as we may be facing a troubled time for the global economy.
We also make no pretense about objectivity. We use the bullhorn of our podcast to put a spotlight on the brands and founders who are setting a good example, and we have no intention of curbing our enthusiasm for the things they set out to do. We see heroes at all levels of retail -- enterprise-class, mid-tier, start-up -- seeking to make meaningful changes to eradicate the absurdities, indignities and yawning inequalities of Late-Stage Retail, and we applaud their efforts.
Is Late-Stage Retail a thing? Yes. And we can do something about it.

In a land of struggle, joy, and human drama, Ireland has its fair share of heroes—on the battlefield, along the coast, and, surprisingly, on the basketball court. Irish basketball legend John Kennedy was one such hero. A leader on and off the court, he played in the Irish National League and was an inspiration to many who suffered through the "struggles" of Northern Ireland. Tragically, John died on the court, stricken by a rare heart condition. In this film from the ReelEarth collection, filmmaker Marty Stalker introduces us, some years later, to Marc Mulholland, the nephew of this Irish basketball hero. As fate and freedom would have it, Marc quickly grew into his uncle's oversized shoes. He was selected to play for the national junior team, then carried the Olympic torch through his city. The nephew seemed bound for stardom. But then his world exploded. He found out that he had the same heart problem as Uncle John Kennedy. The court was his safe space. The community was his family. What was his life without the ability to do what he loved? Marc became very ill and very weak—until he realized the skills he treasured from basketball could help him push through.

McDonald's, Starbucks, Coke, GE suspend business in Russia
Dee-Ann Durbin
DETROIT — McDonald's, Starbucks, Coca-Cola and General Electric –– ubiquitous global brands and symbols of U.S. corporate might –– all announced Tuesday they were temporarily suspending their business in Russia in response to the country's invasion of Ukraine.
"Our values mean we cannot ignore the needless human suffering unfolding in Ukraine," McDonald's President and CEO Chris Kempczinski said in an open letter to employees.
The Chicago-based burger giant said it will temporarily close 850 stores but continue paying its 62,000 employees in Russia "who have poured their heart and soul into our McDonald's brand."
More:Here's the latest on the Russia-Ukraine war
More:Russia underestimated Ukraine's resistance, US officials say
More:Gas prices rising 'fast and furious' amid U.S. ban on Russian oil
Kempczinski said it's impossible to know when the company will be able to reopen its stores.
"The situation is extraordinarily challenging for a global brand like ours, and there are many considerations," Kempczinski wrote in the letter. McDonald's works with hundreds of Russian suppliers, for example, and serves millions of customers each day.
Last Friday, Starbucks had said that it was donating profits from its 130 Russian stores –– owned and operated by Kuwait-based franchisee Alshaya Group –– to humanitarian relief efforts in Ukraine. But on Tuesday, the company changed course and said it would temporarily close those stores. Alshaya Group will continue to pay Starbucks' 2,000 Russian employees, Starbucks President and CEO Kevin Johnson said in an open letter to employees.
"Through this dynamic situation, we will continue to make decisions that are true to our mission and values and communicate with transparency," Johnson wrote.
Coca-Cola Co. announced it was suspending its business in Russia, but it offered few details. Coke's partner, Switzerland-based Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Co., owns 10 bottling plants in Russia, which is its largest market. Coke has a 21% stake in Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Co.
General Electric also said in a Twitter post that it was suspending its operations in Russia. GE said two exceptions would be essential medical equipment and support for existing power services in Russia.
McDonald's is likely to take the biggest financial hit. Unlike Starbucks and other fast food companies, like KFC and Pizza Hut, whose Russian locations are owned by franchisees, McDonald's owns 84% of its Russian stores. McDonald's has also temporarily closed 108 restaurants that it owns in Ukraine and continues to pay those employees.
In a recent regulatory filing, McDonald's said its restaurants in Russia and Ukraine contribute 9% of its annual revenue, or around $2 billion last year.
Yum Brands, the parent company of KFC and Pizza Hut, said Monday that it is donating all of the profits from its 1,050 restaurants in Russia to humanitarian efforts. It has also suspended new restaurant development in the country. Burger King said it is redirecting the profits from its 800 Russian stores to relief efforts and donating $2 million in food vouchers to Ukrainian refugees.
McDonald's said Tuesday it has donated more than $5 million to its employee assistance fund and to relief efforts. It has also parked a Ronald McDonald House Charities mobile medical care unit at the Polish border with Ukraine; another mobile care unit is en route to the border in Latvia, the company said.
When McDonald's opened its first store in Moscow, in Jan. 31, 1990, it was hailed as a sign of the thawing Cold War. Thousands of Russians lined up before dawn to try hamburgers –– many for the first time. By the end of the day, 30,000 meals had been rung up on 27 cash registers, an opening-day record for the company.
But since the Ukraine invasion last month, many corporations have ceased operations in Russia in protest. Among them is consumer goods conglomerate Unilever, which on Tuesday said it has suspended all imports and exports of its products into and out of Russia, and that it will not invest any further capital into the country. In a more limited move, Amazon said Tuesday the company's cloud computing network, Amazon Web Services, will stop allowing new sign-ups in Russia and Belarus.
Pressure had been mounting on companies that remained in the country. Hashtags to boycott companies like McDonald's, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo quickly emerged on social media.
Last week, New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli –– a trustee of the state's pension fund, which is a McDonald's investor –– sent a letter to McDonald's and nine other companies urging them to consider pausing their operations in Russia.
In a statement Tuesday, DiNapoli commended McDonald's for its action.
"As one of the largest domestic corporations doing business in Russia, McDonald's suspension of operations there should send a strong message to other companies," DiNapoli said. "Russia's attack on Ukraine, its violent imperialism, threatens the global economy and makes doing business there extraordinarily risky if not untenable."
In his letter, Kempczinski cited influential former McDonald's Chairman and CEO Fred Turner, whose mantra was, "Do the right thing."
"There are countless examples over the years of McDonald's Corp. living up to Fred's simple ideal. Today is one of those days," Kempczinski said.


.... The Hebrew Bible and the New Testament are not governing blueprints, ministers are not policy experts, and the church is not a place for political advocacy. It is a place to minister to souls, to heal wounds, and to dispense grace. So while ministers certainly have a First Amendment right to express their political views, they should realize that there are substantial costs when the faith to which they have declared their allegiance is seen, with some justification, as merely a tool of a specific political ideology or subordinate to a political party.
This is so well said! I am not sure wether to say, " Here,Here" or "Amen!"


Rehabilitation and reflections on the incident, meanwhile the head is already thinking to the future challenges: "The problem is that when one is injured, he has a lot of time to make new plans!"
Hi Mathieu. How are you?
I'm getting better, I've just finished my rehabilitation. Now I can do everything again, but carefully. For a couple of months I have to take care of my back. But in mid-January, I'm going to fly to Patagonia! I will try to be fit for that moment.
Already focused on new projects! But first of all tell us what happened to you.
What do you feel to have learned from this misadventure?
It's a good lesson, thank you for taking the opportunity to remind it us! Now tell us what plans you have for the future.
My main goal has not changed. I'm looking for an ascent of a new route on an 8000, in alpine style. Probably I will try it in 2020, instead for the next year I will go to Pakistan, where I will try to climb the south face of the K6. This peak is still inviolate, and we may be the first foreigners to have the permission for this expedition. For the fall then, I will go on an eight thousand, trying to get down on skis.
First of all, however, I have this trip to Patagonia, that I was talking to you, in January and February. I've never been to El Chalten, I think is a good way to start again with mountaineering after the accident. The fact is that when one is injured, he has a lot of time to make plans!
A lot of ideas! How Mathieu-the alpinist was born?
I am 34 years old and I started to go to the mountains quite young. At nineteen I was already Aspiring Guide, and this allowed me to see alpinism in another way: in particular the aspect of safety. When I was young, perhaps I took too many risks ... and without even realizing it! But now things have changed. Now I can better interpret the mountain, to understand when there are good conditions and when not, even if the surprises are always there! This is the positive side of becoming experts. The negative one is that spending a lot of time in the mountains there are more possibilities to have accidents.
You are a very versatile mountaineer. How do you choose your goals?
Yes, I like all the disciplines that can be practiced! The mountains are big, they offer a lot of options. Always changing projects, taking every opportunity, keeps me motivated.
Why do you not focus on just one activity?
Traveling a lot is not easy to maintain a good level of rock climbing, sometimes it is really hard to start climbing again after an expedition. Let's say that you get back in a good shape quickly, but it's hard to improve. At the moment I am focused on expedition, but in the future I would like to train and raise the level as a climber.
Where do you live? And where would you like to live when you will old?
Now I live in Briançon, but I travel for about eight months a year! I also spend a lot of time in the van. Anyway I'm always happy to come back to Briançon, I think it's important to always have a place to feel like home.
When I'll be tired, hoping not all broken, I'd like to stay in Verdon. It is a wonderful place in every aspect of climbing. There is a great atmosphere, and it's not super-crowded like so many other trendy places.
Thanks Mathieu, it was really a big pleasure to share your emotions, your projects, and most of all your motivation without limits! Good luck for your next adventures!
