had to walk 2.3 miles to get to the only place that bakes fresh bagels on site. theres a place near me that gets them delivered otherwise its all deli bagels or supermarket. just saw theres one up in riverdale or thereabouts not far from the bjs wholesale club but its still probably 2 miles. hard to believe there isnt one more on either 181 st or up the hill on 187th where theres a few restaurants, a bakery and some jews. mikes bagels was down on 168th which is convenient as its right next to an a train so walk down train back but there was one new "gem" at least for this area. was $15 for a panini but ill ignore that for the moment. only got a bread so was a pretty bread-y outing.

also getting an asian market in a new building up going up around 218th where the twin donuts used to be. you know the one, around the corner from the columbia football stadium. go utes! right right, bulldogs. i think. not sure who is expected to shop there as it borders a dead zone but hope to be pleasantly surprised. one day that area will be all built up i decree.

another weird glitch. cant go back in and edit the last post. has the weird post button at the end. must be a cut and paste issue, nor can i add a comment.

joe kennedy the bootlegger is likely a myth or overblown at best. joe kennedy the canny and ruthless capitalist, on point! ruthlessness being in the eye of the beholder.

behold, my trajectory!

your time has come again billy!

The strict enforcement of the Motion Picture Production Code (known as the Hays Code) in July 1934 forced Fleischer Studios to dramatically change Betty Boop's appearance and personality, which directly led to a decline in her popularity and her eventual retirement by 1939. [1, 2, 3]

What Changed Under the Hays Code

1. Conservative Wardrobe: Her signature low-cut, strapless red dress and garter were replaced with a longer skirt, higher neckline, and sleeves. [1, 2, 3]
2. Personality Shift: Censors targeted her flirty winks, hip shakes, and suggestive jazz-age persona. She was re-tooled into a wholesome, domestic "spinster housewife" or single woman. [1, 2]
3. New Co-Stars: Her edgy or surreal animal co-stars (like Bimbo) were phased out or sidelined, and she was given a generic boyfriend named Freddy and a puppy named Pudgy to appear more family-friendly. [1, 2]

Impact on Popularity

1. Stripped of the edgy, adult-leaning flapper charm that originally made her a breakout sensation, Betty lost her cultural distinctiveness.
2. Viewers lost interest in the sanitized version of the character, leading to an immediate drop in audience engagement.
3. Fleischer Studios officially stopped producing Betty Boop cartoons by 1939.
