Ventilate is 1 year old!

On May 1 of last year, I posted the first entry to Ventilate – I was setting out to create an outlet for musings on a wide range of interests:

from New York City history, (https://ventilateblog.wordpress.com/2012/03/25/101-years-on-the-triangle-shirtwaist-factory-fire/)

Triange Shirtwaist Factory Fire, 1911

to abandoned places/urban exploration (https://ventilateblog.wordpress.com/2011/05/19/staten-island-ship-graveyard/)

Staten Island Ship Graveyard

And everything in between!

My inaugural post was on May Day (https://ventilateblog.wordpress.com/2011/05/01/mayday2011/), about its quirky history as a Moving Day in New York, and about the arrival of Spring.

The country has changed very much in the past year, and this year is aimed to bring May Day back to its political side, with a general strike called in cities across the U.S. –

I’m looking forward to another year of Ventilate-ing!
