Located half a mile from the glittering office towers of downtown Los Angeles, Skid Row exists as a world within a world. It's a world where life is cheap. It's a world where chaos reigns. It's a world where addiction is rampant, violence is chronic, and potential danger lurks around every gritty corner. Since the late nineteenth century, Skid Row has experienced every variation of human horror. Revenge killings and rape murders. Infernos and infanticides. Celebrity slayings and psychotic rampages. Home to more serial killers than any neighborhood in America, Skid Row is a bastion for the brazen, not a fairyland for the faint of heart. In Skid Row Slaughterhouse, author Gray George examines thirteen homicide cases that made the Row infamous. In examining these cases, George details the full history of Skid Row-a uniquely troubled neighborhood with a uniquely compelling past.

Since the 1930s, Skid Row had been occupied by the working poor, and as unemployment rates rose, the streets of Skid Row were home to alcoholics, and petty criminals. In the 70s, Skid Row was occupied by a large number of Vietnam veterans as well as heavy drug users. Coupled with the failing infrastructures in the area, poverty, and homelessness, Skid Row was considered one of the most dangerous places in Los Angeles. Recounting the state of the neighborhood, Mellecker stated, "Anything south of First and Second streets you wouldn't go down there without a gun." It was in these streets that the serial killer later dubbed the Skid Row Stabber claimed his victims, with the first victim discovered on October 23, 1978.Who was the Skid Row Stabber?

A cultural history of the South Bronx that reaches beyond familiar narratives of urban ruin and renaissance, beyond the “inner city” symbol, to reveal the place and people obscured by its myths. For decades, the South Bronx was America’s “inner city.” Synonymous with civic neglect, crime, and metropolitan decay, the Bronx became the preeminent symbol used to proclaim the failings of urban places and the communities of color who lived in them. Images of its ruins—none more infamous than the one broadcast live during the 1977 World Series: a building burning near Yankee Stadium—proclaimed the failures of urbanism. Yet this same South Bronx produced hip hop, arguably the most powerful artistic and cultural innovation of the past fifty years. Two narratives—urban crisis and cultural renaissance—have dominated understandings of the Bronx and other urban environments. Today, as gentrification transforms American cities economically and demographically, the twin narratives structure our thinking about urban life. A Bronx native, Peter L’Official draws on literature and the visual arts to recapture the history, people, and place beyond its myths and legends. Both fact and symbol, the Bronx was not a decades-long funeral pyre, nor was hip hop its lone cultural contribution. L’Official juxtaposes the artist Gordon Matta-Clark’s carvings of abandoned buildings with the city’s trompe l’oeil decals program; examines the centrality of the Bronx’s infamous Charlotte Street to two Hollywood films; offers original readings of novels by Don DeLillo and Tom Wolfe; and charts the emergence of a “global Bronx” as graffiti was brought into galleries and exhibited internationally, promoting a symbolic Bronx abroad. Urban Legends presents a new cultural history of what it meant to live, work, and create in the Bronx.

Literally Billions of Quips, in the Worlds First Quip Thesaurus title has to be the most preposterous claim in history, excepting, of course, claims that Obamacare will reduce costs, etc. Whats shocking, is that the Quip Thesaurus explains how to create literally billions of quips in the first two dozen pages, coupled with another dozen pages in an appendix. Even with a mere two billion, thats an average in excess of 55.5 million per page. Atwood distinguishes quips from jokes on the basis of their objectives. The difference between them, he maintains, is that the objective of jokes is to get laughs while the objective of quips is to express opinions. He advocates employing alliteration and rhyme in quips because, they are the music of language that increase the likelihood that opinions will make impressions, have staying power and be repeated. Insofar as the sub-title Resource for writers when good enough isnt is concerned, extensive lists of verbs, adverbs and adjectives sans, definitions listed alphabetically in Quip Thesaurus appendices for creating quips, are convenient resources for anyone looking for the most effective words to express themselves or anxious to confirm those they have in mind are the most effective. All such words are in dictionaries, of course, but wading hundreds of thousands of definitions in tiny print to find them can be a tedious, tiresome and time-consuming task.
