This is a partial transcript of "Washington Mysteries", an NPR segment from 17 December 1999, in which Linda Wertheimer interviewed three mystery authors whose newest books were set in Washington DC. To listen, click the source link on this post.

This transcript covers from 12:11 to 15:10, or the first three minutes of the eight-minute segment. The speakers are Noah Adams [NA], Linda Wertheimer [LW], and James Patterson [JP].

NA: It's NPR's All Things Considered, I'm Noah Adams.

LW: And I'm Linda Wertheimer. Here are some novels to consider, if you'd like a bloodthirsty interlude in the holiday season. Three mystery novels, all set in Washington. The first is by James Patterson. He writes about a psychologist turned cop named Alex Cross, a black man who is widowed with two small children. But Patterson doesn't write about philandering Presidents or corrupt Congressmen -- Washington just happens to be Alex Cross's city. I suggested to James Patterson that he could set his stories in Cleveland, or almost anywhere, but he said, "Not quite."

JP: I like Washington. I always found it interesting, and it seemed to me that a lot of things can believably happen to Cross in Washington.

LW: What do you mean?

JP: Well, a lot of kinds of plots that are scary. I mean, you can go from plots about the government, you can deal with things in Washington, which is a complex city that has, you know, both a lot of wealth and a lot of poverty. You got the FBI and the CIA, and yeah. There's a lot of believable plot material there.

LW: Well, now, we who live in the city, uh, like the way that you get the geography straight, and we like all the sort of interesting details, like the, uh, traffic jam caused by the construction of the Turkish chancery is mentioned in this book, uh --

JP: Mm-hmm.

LW: --the crime rates are different in different quadrants of the city, uh… Of course, we are local. I mean, does it work for, for other folks?

JP: Yeah, I, I mean, I tend not to put a ton of detail in my -- I find out a lot of things, and then I sort of keep it out of the story to a certain extent. So there's enough in there for the stories to track for people, and I want to make, you know, the information I do finally put in the book accurate. But I, you know, well, um, somebody asked me, you know, when I started going from being, you know, mildly successful to selling an awful lot of books, and, and part of it had to do with, um, you know, leaving out the parts that people skim.

LW: That's when your chapters became, uh, two and a half pages long. [laughs]

JP: Well, you know, that was sort of an accident. I, um, I used to have a day job, and I wrote about forty pages of one of the books -- or forty chapters, I mean. And I, I was planning to put in a lot more detail --

LW: Go back and amplify.

JP: -- yeah, and I said, you know, I kind of like this this way, and I went back and, and amplified a little bit but not too much. You know if we were, if I was telling this story right now, and I, and I said, this morning I came out of the driveway and there was a dead man in the road. And then I went on for the next ten minutes telling you about the style of the road, and the style of the house, and the house across the street, you'd say, but, well, what happened with the person in the road, you know? And I think that gets in the way of a lot of potentially good stories.

LW: James Patterson, thanks very much.

JP: Oh, you're very welcome.

LW: James Patterson's new book is called Pop Goes the Weasel.

CHAPTER III—SHOPS AND THEIR TENANTS

What inexhaustible food for speculation, do the streets of London afford! We never were able to agree with Sterne in pitying the man who could travel from Dan to Beersheba, and say that all was barren; we have not the slightest commiseration for the man who can take up his hat and stick, and walk from Covent-garden to St. Paul’s Churchyard, and back into the bargain, without deriving some amusement—we had almost said instruction—from his perambulation. And yet there are such beings: we meet them every day. Large black stocks and light waistcoats, jet canes and discontented countenances, are the characteristics of the race; other people brush quickly by you, steadily plodding on to business, or cheerfully running after pleasure. These men linger listlessly past, looking as happy and animated as a policeman on duty. Nothing seems to make an impression on their minds: nothing short of being knocked down by a porter, or run over by a cab, will disturb their equanimity. You will meet them on a fine day in any of the leading thoroughfares: peep through the window of a west-end cigar shop in the evening, if you can manage to get a glimpse between the blue curtains which intercept the vulgar gaze, and you see them in their only enjoyment of existence. There they are lounging about, on round tubs and pipe boxes, in all the dignity of whiskers, and gilt watch-guards; whispering soft nothings to the young lady in amber, with the large ear-rings, who, as she sits behind the counter in a blaze of adoration and gas-light, is the admiration of all the female servants in the neighbourhood, and the envy of every milliner’s apprentice within two miles round.

One of our principal amusements is to watch the gradual progress—the rise or fall—of particular shops. We have formed an intimate acquaintance with several, in different parts of town, and are perfectly acquainted with their whole history. We could name off-hand, twenty at least, which we are quite sure have paid no taxes for the last six years. They are never inhabited for more than two months consecutively, and, we verily believe, have witnessed every retail trade in the directory.

There is one, whose history is a sample of the rest, in whose fate we have taken especial interest, having had the pleasure of knowing it ever since it has been a shop. It is on the Surrey side of the water—a little distance beyond the Marsh-gate. It was originally a substantial, good-looking private house enough; the landlord got into difficulties, the house got into Chancery, the tenant went away, and the house went to ruin. At this period our acquaintance with it commenced; the paint was all worn off; the windows were broken, the area was green with neglect and the overflowings of the water-butt; the butt itself was without a lid, and the street-door was the very picture of misery. The chief pastime of the children in the vicinity had been to assemble in a body on the steps, and to take it in turn to knock loud double knocks at the door, to the great satisfaction of the neighbours generally, and especially of the nervous old lady next door but one. Numerous complaints were made, and several small basins of water discharged over the offenders, but without effect. In this state of things, the marine-store dealer at the corner of the street, in the most obliging manner took the knocker off, and sold it: and the unfortunate house looked more wretched than ever.

We deserted our friend for a few weeks. What was our surprise, on our return, to find no trace of its existence! In its place was a handsome shop, fast approaching to a state of completion, and on the shutters were large bills, informing the public that it would shortly be opened with ‘an extensive stock of linen-drapery and haberdashery.’ It opened in due course; there was the name of the proprietor ‘and Co.’ in gilt letters, almost too dazzling to look at. Such ribbons and shawls! and two such elegant young men behind the counter, each in a clean collar and white neckcloth, like the lover in a farce. As to the proprietor, he did nothing but walk up and down the shop, and hand seats to the ladies, and hold important conversations with the handsomest of the young men, who was shrewdly suspected by the neighbours to be the ‘Co.’ We saw all this with sorrow; we felt a fatal presentiment that the shop was doomed—and so it was. Its decay was slow, but sure. Tickets gradually appeared in the windows; then rolls of flannel, with labels on them, were stuck outside the door; then a bill was pasted on the street-door, intimating that the first floor was to let unfurnished; then one of the young men disappeared altogether, and the other took to a black neckerchief, and the proprietor took to drinking. The shop became dirty, broken panes of glass remained unmended, and the stock disappeared piecemeal. At last the company’s man came to cut off the water, and then the linen-draper cut off himself, leaving the landlord his compliments and the key.

The next occupant was a fancy stationer. The shop was more modestly painted than before, still it was neat; but somehow we always thought, as we passed, that it looked like a poor and struggling concern. We wished the man well, but we trembled for his success. He was a widower evidently, and had employment elsewhere, for he passed us every morning on his road to the city. The business was carried on by his eldest daughter. Poor girl! she needed no assistance. We occasionally caught a glimpse of two or three children, in mourning like herself, as they sat in the little parlour behind the shop; and we never passed at night without seeing the eldest girl at work, either for them, or in making some elegant little trifle for sale. We often thought, as her pale face looked more sad and pensive in the dim candle-light, that if those thoughtless females who interfere with the miserable market of poor creatures such as these, knew but one-half of the misery they suffer, and the bitter privations they endure, in their honourable attempts to earn a scanty subsistence, they would, perhaps, resign even opportunities for the gratification of vanity, and an immodest love of self-display, rather than drive them to a last dreadful resource, which it would shock the delicate feelings of these charitable ladies to hear named.

But we are forgetting the shop. Well, we continued to watch it, and every day showed too clearly the increasing poverty of its inmates. The children were clean, it is true, but their clothes were threadbare and shabby; no tenant had been procured for the upper part of the house, from the letting of which, a portion of the means of paying the rent was to have been derived, and a slow, wasting consumption prevented the eldest girl from continuing her exertions. Quarter-day arrived. The landlord had suffered from the extravagance of his last tenant, and he had no compassion for the struggles of his successor; he put in an execution. As we passed one morning, the broker’s men were removing the little furniture there was in the house, and a newly-posted bill informed us it was again ‘To Let.’ What became of the last tenant we never could learn; we believe the girl is past all suffering, and beyond all sorrow. God help her! We hope she is.

We were somewhat curious to ascertain what would be the next stage—for that the place had no chance of succeeding now, was perfectly clear. The bill was soon taken down, and some alterations were being made in the interior of the shop. We were in a fever of expectation; we exhausted conjecture—we imagined all possible trades, none of which were perfectly reconcilable with our idea of the gradual decay of the tenement. It opened, and we wondered why we had not guessed at the real state of the case before. The shop—not a large one at the best of times—had been converted into two: one was a bonnet-shape maker’s, the other was opened by a tobacconist, who also dealt in walking-sticks and Sunday newspapers; the two were separated by a thin partition, covered with tawdry striped paper.

The tobacconist remained in possession longer than any tenant within our recollection. He was a red-faced, impudent, good-for-nothing dog, evidently accustomed to take things as they came, and to make the best of a bad job. He sold as many cigars as he could, and smoked the rest. He occupied the shop as long as he could make peace with the landlord, and when he could no longer live in quiet, he very coolly locked the door, and bolted himself. From this period, the two little dens have undergone innumerable changes. The tobacconist was succeeded by a theatrical hair-dresser, who ornamented the window with a great variety of ‘characters,’ and terrific combats. The bonnet-shape maker gave place to a greengrocer, and the histrionic barber was succeeded, in his turn, by a tailor. So numerous have been the changes, that we have of late done little more than mark the peculiar but certain indications of a house being poorly inhabited. It has been progressing by almost imperceptible degrees. The occupiers of the shops have gradually given up room after room, until they have only reserved the little parlour for themselves. First there appeared a brass plate on the private door, with ‘Ladies’ School’ legibly engraved thereon; shortly afterwards we observed a second brass plate, then a bell, and then another bell.

When we paused in front of our old friend, and observed these signs of poverty, which are not to be mistaken, we thought as we turned away, that the house had attained its lowest pitch of degradation. We were wrong. When we last passed it, a ‘dairy’ was established in the area, and a party of melancholy-looking fowls were amusing themselves by running in at the front door, and out at the back one.

Street names in We All Fall Down with the part of the town they went to. There are copies of these street names prefaced with "The City of Wellington Wells: " instead of the District too, which I think would have been the ones you'd see in the game.

I'm beginning to think that Victoria's DLC was actually the first one they started work on and that her story was always meant to conclude the game, due to other artifacts present in WAFD's code and just that Victoria being a custom character design for the role she plays in the main game is strange otherwise. I also think that naming the streets was supposed to be a more prominent feature of the main game as well, as the Parade's streets are also named, but that it was abandoned fairly early on. The Parade, like the environments in WAFD, are static so if I'd bet this was something jettisoned elsewhere because it doesn't play well with procedural generation.

Having a stock of proposed street names is still nice if one wants to add a little flavor to fanwork set in this part of town.

WK4: Brief exploration (36)

For this week, I took the photos around High Street and Chancery Square.

These 4 were my favourites! I really like how the lighting illuminates the areas while the shadows bring contrast. This was shot with Fujifilm's film simulation: Velvia, with other in-cam settings (recipe by Ritchie Roesch https://fujixweekly.com/fujifilm-bayer-recipes/)

Vídeo: cavalo ensanguentado corre por Londres após ferir 5 pessoas

  Reprodução Twitter Cavalos correndo pelo centro de Londres Cinco pessoas ficaram feridas em tr��s locais diferentes após cavalos da Cavalaria Doméstica de Londres fugiram e correram soltos pelo centro da capital inglesa. Entre os feridos está um soldado da Guarda Real Britânica. Segundo o "The Telegraph", um dos cavalos bateu em carros em frente ao Hotel Clermont, na Buckingham Palace Road. Ao todo, cinco cavalos foram vistos à solta em outras áreas de Londres, incluindo a Tower Bridge. Os cavaleiros que montavam nos animais foram atirados para fora da sela durante o exercício matinal diário. Ainda de acordo com o jornal britânico, um soldado foi ouvido “gritando de dor” depois de ser atirado do cavalo Os incidentes ocorreram na Buckingham Palace Road, na Belgrave Square e no cruzamento de Chancery Lane e Fleet Street. Um porta-voz do serviço de saúde disse: “Nossos primeiros paramédicos chegaram ao local em menos de um minuto. O incidente continua em andamento e estamos trabalhando com nossos parceiros de serviços de emergência.” A polícia da cidade de Londres disse que dois dos cavalos fugitivos foram contidos. Segundo a corporação, uma cavalariça do Exército viria para recolher os animais e levá-los ao veterinário. “Por volta das 8h40, fomos chamados por cavalos que estavam soltos e correndo pela cidade. Nossos oficiais conseguiram conter dois cavalos na rodovia perto de Limehouse. Estamos aguardando uma cavalariça do Exército para recolher os cavalos e transportá-los para o veterinário.” Vídeo   JUST IN - Two horses on loose in central London pic.twitter.com/atBQK989V8 — Insider Paper (@TheInsiderPaper) April 24, 2024     Moment escaped Household Cavalry horses rampage through London pic.twitter.com/P5p4whYlXl — Daily Mail Online (@MailOnline) April 24, 2024   Fonte: Internacional Read the full article

Meme stock traders come to the country’s premier venue for corporate litigation on a mission to—well, there’s a lot going on here.

Tesla Inc. superfans vow to protect Elon Musk from the judge who doesn’t think he’s worth $56 billion. Retail investors want a reckoning for the movie theater chain they say treats them like “a piggy bank.”

They’re little guys saving their beloved brands from “a broken system” perpetuated by “bad actors” on Wall Street. They do their own research. They’re an online army. They want their money back. They don’t care so much about winning.

The movement converging on Delaware’s Court of Chancery is an “eruption of human passion and emotion,��� said one such investor, Brian Tuttle, a 44-year-old disc jockey from Sarasota, Fla. “Sometimes participation is more important.”

[ad_1] Soho & The West End are two of London’s most exciting neighbourhoods. This historic part of the capital has drawn aristocrats, gangsters and musicians thanks to its reputation for debauchery. Today, it’s still a lively place to stay in London. By: Paul Healy | Published: 22 Apr 2024 span box-shadow: none !important; filter: brightness(1) !important; ]]> The West End is an informally defined area north of the Thames between Oxford Circus and Holborn. As the home of mainstream professional theatre in the country, it’s one of the liveliest areas in London.   Soho is a smaller area within the West End roughly defined by the triangle between Oxford Circus, Piccadilly Circus and Tottenham Court Road tube stations. This is one of the most exciting areas in London and somewhere we love to hang out when we’re not travelling. It has a buzzing atmosphere 24/7 with excellent live music and small lane ways packed with bars, cafes, restaurants and pubs. You could easily spend days strolling around Soho, popping into interesting shops and still not even scratch the surface. It’s a great base for your London stay if you are looking for somewhere with plenty of great nightlife while still retaining a village feel. It’s one of our favourite areas of London.  WHY STAY IN SOHO & THE WEST END? The West End is one of the busiest nightlife areas in London so if you stay here, you’ll have everything on your doorstep. You can enjoy a great night out, trying Soho’s small wine bars, live music venues, boutiques and excellent restaurants and easily walk back to your hotel. If you’ve come to London to do some shopping, Oxford Street and Regent Street, both in Soho, are a great place to start. Soho is also very central and walkable to many attractions. Some of London’s best art galleries are very close as are the popular tourist centres of Leicester Square, Covent Garden and Chinatown. The thing we love about Soho the most is that, while very popular with tourists, it still manages to hold on to a local feel. SOHO MAIN ATTRACTIONS IN SOHO & THE WEST END London’s LGBT Scene: The area around Old Compton Street is the heart of London’s LGBT scene where you’ll find plenty of great bars (they are open to everyone). Soho’s Laneways: Soho has a collection of small streets packed with cafes, boutiques, bars and restaurants. Some of the best streets are Dean Street, Firth Street, and Beak Street. Chinatown / Leicester Square: As the centre of touristy London, Chinatown and Leicester Square are good to explore, but probably in small doses. Galleries: The National Portrait Gallery (our favourite gallery in London) and the National Gallery are in the West End. Covent Garden: We love Covent Garden even though it’s very busy and touristy. It’s a beautiful square, the shopping is excellent and there are some very good restaurants. French House: The French house is a historic pub in Soho with no music, TV or phones. They famously sell half-pints only except on 1st April every year when you can get a full pint for charity. Berwick Street Market: Whenever we’re in Soho we make a beeline for the Berwick Street Market for some of the best street food in London. Our pick is Jerusalem Falafel. TUBE STATIONS IN THE WEST END Embankment | Charing Cross | Piccadilly Circus | Leicester Square | Covent Garden | Temple | Holborn | Chancery Lane NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY REGENT STREET WHERE TO STAY? Z HOTEL STRAND (£) It’s not easy to find decent-value hotels near the West End, but Z Hotels have a few, and the one on the Strand is probably the pick. It’s in an excellent location and the rooms are clean and tidy, although very small. 10 minute walk – Lincoln’s Inn Fields, Ronnie Scotts, Covent Garden, Leicester Square, Embankment | 20 minute walk – Oxford Circus, Googe Street, Buckingham Palace, Southwark. Z HOTEL SOHO (£) The Z Soho is trendy and hip with all the right de

sign quirks. Rooms are small but practical with comfortable bedding and open bathrooms. There are no wardrobes, just a bit of hanging space, so you need to be prepared to travel light. However, it’s a great value stay in central Soho. 10 minute walk – Leicester Square, Tottenham Court Road, Piccadilly, Charing Cross | 20 minute walk – Green Park, The Wallace Collection, Bond Street, Westminster Abbey, Chancery Lane. HAZLITT’S (££) In the heart of Soho, I’ve walked past this hotel many times and never known it was there. It oozes old-world charm across four Georgian townhouses with a wood-panelled library, leather-bound books, and antique furniture. 10 minute walk – Leicester Square, Tottenham Court Road, Piccadilly, Charing Cross, Oxford Circus, Savile Row | 20 minute walk – Green Park, The Wallace Collection, Bond Street, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Chancery Lane. L’OSCAR (£££) On the north-eastern corner of Covent Garden, this exquisitely designed boutique hotel is opulently decorated somewhere between 1920s glam and Studio 54. The friendly staff, excellent cocktails and above-average breakfast make this a great stay in Soho. 10 minute walk – Chancery Lane, Russel Square, Bloomsbury Square, Lincoln’s Inn Fields, Tottenham Court Road, Covent Garden | 20 minute walk – King’s Cross, Euston Square, Oxford Circus, BFI Imax, St Pauls, Smithfield Market. HAM YARD HOTEL (£££) Ham Yard Hotel is a cool urban village with a tree-filled courtyard, shops and a bowling alley. The rooms are beautifully designed with chic British sensitivities. The roof terrace has an edible garden and lovely London views.   10 minute walk – Piccadilly Circus, Liberty, Tottenham Court Road, Covent Garden, Fortnum & Mason, The Mall, Charing Cross | 20 minute walk – Great Portland Street, Russel Square, Southbank, Green Park, Buckingham Palace, Bond Street, Hyde Park Corner.

From this day in 1989, plans for a new railway line underneath London.

Three ideas were being considered.

The favourite is East-West Crossrail, running through Liverpool Street, Farringdon, Tottenham Court Road, Bond Street, and Paddington. At the east end, it'll take over suburban trains to Shenfield or Walthamstow; at the west, it'll head off to Slough and/or Heathrow. There could be a branch from Bond Street to Marylebone, Aylesbury and/or Watford.

North-South Crossrail is a bit less developed: the plan is to run alongside Thameslink trains north of King's Cross, then go through Totttenham Court Road, Green Park, Victoria, and thence to the south-central lines towards Sutton and Crystal Palace.

Chelsea-Hackney line goes from Fulham Broadway to a new station at Chelsea Town Hall, and Victoria. There it'll shadow the Victoria line through Green Park, Tottenham Court Road, King's Cross, before branching off to Angel, Essex Road, Dalston Junction, Hackney Central, and on to Leytonstone and Hainault. A branch could go from TCR to Holborn, Chancery Lane, Farringdon, Old Street, a new station at Shoreditch Church, and Dalston Junction.

The plan is future-proofing the network, which is nearing capacity. According to the consultation, the first lines could be open as early as 1996, and look set to be needed by 2001.

...as we all know, Crossrail was tossed around and put on loads of back-burners. Clive's Underground Guides reminds us how the east-west route was eventually approved in 2004, and Crossrail opened "on time" in 2022, a mere 26 years late.
