San Myshuno Meadows Mall

This build is based off of the Eaton Center in Toronto Ontario.

The mall is decorated for Christmas for Christmas gameplay shopping.

All items have been marked for sale. *While play testing I noticed that even with 3 employees it was still rather difficult to get to customers to ring them up as there are 3 retail floors.

The fourth floor is a food court that offers a cafe, 2 resturants, and 6 vendors. Looking online it states that only 4 vendors can be on a lot at a time. * However While play testing I found that only two vendors will allow for hire. Little Ms Sam's has a mod that will add a lot trait to auto hire vendors. If you play with mods this is highly recommended. *If you decide to change the lot type to community market place from eco lifestyle it will auto hire up to 3 vendors. This would be recommended if you are looking to use the lot mostly as a hangout opposed to retail.

The First Floor:

Freezer Bunnies - Childs toy store

Sport Simmers - Outdoor sports store

Simsy - Clothing unisex store for young adults

Bubbly - Bubble tea shop

Photobooth

Public Bathrooms

Second Floor:

Bella's Boutique - High end beauty store (owned by Bella Goth)

In this save file the lot is owned and operated by the Landgrab Shopping Centers. This is the second location opened (the first one from Del Sol Valley)

This lot was placed in San Myshuno replacing the Art Center on a 30x40 lot at 546 kb - it is on the gallery as Landgrab Shopping mallV4

As I work towards finishing off Willow Creek of my Save file I thought I would give a sneak peak into some of what I am working on. My builds come to me in the moment, this past week it was building a Christmas decorated mall.

Stay tuned for more on my Canadian Save File <3

Jerusalems in the United States - New York State

I reposted a blog earlier today about how Jewish Voice for Peace had at some point had people recite "Next Year in Al-Quds" instead of "Next Year in Jerusalem" during a Passover seder. Someone then commented that they could have said "Next Year in Jerusalem New York," and in fact, there is a Jerusalem, New York, and it's not very far from me. (I live in Ithaca)

The New York Jerusalem is in Yates County, right on Keuka Lake. (In the map below, it's enclosed by the dotted red line).

From a history of the town published in 1892:

"Jerusalem is practically and substantially the mother of towns in Yates County.  The district, sometimes called township, of Jerusalem, was organized in 1789 as one of the subdivisions of Ontario County, and included with its limits all that is now Milo, Benton and Torrey, as well as its own original territory.  On the erection of Stueben County in 1796, the region or district called Bluff Point, or so much of it as lies south of the south line of township seven, was made a part of the new formation; but in 1814 an act of the Legislature annexed Bluff Point to Jerusalem, and to which it has since belonged.   

"In 1803 the town of Jerusalem was definitely erected, embracing township seven, second range, and so much of township seven, first range, as lay westward of Lake Keuka and lot No. 37.  At or about the same time the other territory that had previously formed a part of the district of Jerusalem was organized into a town and called Vernon, after Snell and finally Benton."

The Public Universal Friend

Portrait of the Public Universal Friend, from 1812, unknown painter. Source: Yates County Historical Society

A famous resident of the town (famous then, not now), was the Public Universal Friend:

"The Public Universal Friend, Jemima WILKINSON, was of course a pioneer of this town, the same as she had been in the locality and settlement on Seneca Lake.  In 1790 she first came to the Genesee country and four years later she established herself permanently in the town of Jerusalem."

The Public Universal Friend was born as Jemima Wilkinson in 1752 to a Quaker family in Rhode Island. Jemima was transformed into the Public Universal Friend after "a night of fevered dreams" on October 10, 1776.

Jemima took on a new identity after the fever. "'Reborn' in their place was the Public Universal Friend, neither male nor female. According to the Friend, Jemima’s soul had passed into heaven, and God had reanimated their body with the spirit of the Friend sent to spread the Quaker gospel. From then on, the Friend began to gather followers and travel as a preacher."

The Friend lived as nonbinary person: "The Public Universal Friend dressed in a way that blended masculinity and femininity, and this drew much attention. Their clothing included a cravat and robe like traditional ministers and clergymen wore, as well as the kind of hat typically worn by Quaker men. They also didn’t wear the traditional bonnet or head covering women were expected to wear. The Public Universal Friend’s gender presentation caused curiosity and anger, and it was a radical challenge to the status quo that the Friend was not willing to be bound by the customs of the community." 

How did the Friend come to settle in Jerusalem, New York? After their transformation, the Friend gathered a following, and they decided to create a settlement in western New York, called Jerusalem.

Bra Fitting at Torrid

So, I have always wanted to have a correct bra fitting done. This is my amazing journey.

If I am going to be investing some money into clothing including bras, lingerie and other women’s clothing, I feel that having the correct bra size is important. I started looking around the internet for different stories and saw what other crossdressers had experienced. I guess that is a little of my OCD but if I am going to purchase anything, I have to do my research.

I should have saved the link but I found this amazing story of a crossdresser that found a boutique that helped her out. The owner was nice enough to open for him late after closing. She even asked an employee to stay a little late to help. They went through the whole process. Tried on a couple of different bras. The owner and employee gave their honest opinion. After the correct bra was chosen, they even let her try on some other sexy lingerie and even some shapewear. 

After reading that story, I was determined to find a local store that could provide me with the same experience.

So a couple of weeks ago, I headed onto Google Maps and found the closest (some local and some in a neighboring town) independent lingerie/bra stores and started to contact them mostly by a carefully worded email. I started to get emails back slowly and I wasn’t very happy with what I was reading. Some of the responses included

“Unfortunately, as discreet and comfortable as I am, my services are provided for bodies with full bust or no busts due to breast cancer loss. I take my employ quite seriously & as a result, will advise that I’m not comfortable fitting you.”

Then I started to get some positive replies but lots of these stores don’t deal with larger or plus sized women.

“Based on your measurements, your size would be about a 40 or 42 A or B. Unfortunately, we have very limited options in those sizes, and what we do have are quite standard and simple looking.”

I contacted some of the more commercial lingerie stores but I knew that the majority of these stores would also have limited options available. So, in my location, Ontario, Canada, there are only a few women’s clothing stores that will cater to larger/plus sized customers and sell bras and lingerie. They are Reitmans, Penningtons and Torrid. We used to have Addition Elle stores but they were owned by Penningtons and closed back in August of 2021. I tried to use the customer support channel for these commercial stores but that didn’t lead me anywhere so I started to call the stores and talked to the Manager.

My first store was Penningtons. I called and I talked to someone (I should have probably asked for the manager) and I was open and honest, I asked if they had ever done a bra fitting for a man and she said, “Nope but if you want to make an appointment, I think we can help you.” She thinks. No thanks. I wanted this to be discreet and something that they had done before.

My second store was Reitmans. I called and asked to talk to the manager and/or assistant manager. I waited a few minutes and a lady came on the phone and introduced herself as the store's assistant manager. I asked her, "Do you carry plus size bras? For example, 40C." 

"Yes, we do. We carry all the way up to a 54 DDD. Are you looking to buy a bra for someone?" I quickly replied back, "Yes, actually, it is for myself but I wanted to ask if you, or someone there would be able to get me a proper bra fitting? I have been told that I should be a 40C but I want to make sure." 

And then the very long pause as I can picture the person on the other side of the phone picking their jaw up from the floor. And then she replied back, "Oh alright. I don't see that being a problem. Would you feel comfortable being in the store doing this?" I could hear a little reluctancy in her voice as she asked. I replied back, "I would want you and your customers to be comfortable too. Thank you and it is good to know that you can offer this service. I will be in touch." She said, "Thank you." and we ended the call. 

That's not the response I was really looking for but at least I found a place that I thought I could go but I still had one more place to call.

I called my local Torrid store in the local shopping mall. I don’t remember if I asked for the manager or not but a nice lady came on the phone and introduced herself as Tracy. I said “Hello Tracy. I am wondering if you or someone at your location has done a bra fitting for a man.” Her response was “Yeah. We have. All of the girls here have. Would you like to have a bra fitting?”

At that moment, I felt a sense of relief. A weight lifted off my shoulders. She was honest and confident in her answer which brought me a sense of calm. I replied back, “Yes I would but I want to be discreet. I don’t want to upset your customers or your staff.” She completely understood and she appreciated me mentioning that. She said, “When you come in, hopefully it won’t be too busy and I will get you into a change room as quickly as I can without too many people noticing.” I said that would be perfect. I will call you in the next few days to set up an appointment and see what would be the best time for me to come in.”

So a couple of days later when I knew I could get to the store, I called my local Torrid store and set up an appointment for a proper bra fitting for that night. Luckily, I had an excuse to go to the mall without my wife. I told her that I was going to go shoe shopping for a wedding coming up.

On my way to the mall, I quickly called the store to see how busy it was and Tracy told me to come in and she will help me. Immediately I had butterflies in my stomach. Thinking to myself, “Is this really going to happen now?” Calming myself down, I started to think about all of my adventures lately being out and wearing a bra and all of those were great experiences with no incidents or problems. I said to myself, “You got this GIRL!”

As I walked in the store, there were a couple of ladies shopping for different items. A dress caught my eye so I immediately went over to see it. As I was looking at the dress, a lady approached me and said quietly “Hello, how can I help you. My name is Tracy.” A smile came over my face and she knew exactly who I was. She said for me to follow her and she has a changeroom already saved for me.

Great start so far!

She comes into the changeroom, closes the door and asks me to lift my arms. She wraps the measuring tape around me and then asks me, “Are you wearing a bra?” I said, “Yes but it was something I picked up quickly. I don’t know if it is the right size. Hence me coming in to have this done.”

“Well, let us take a look then.”

I take off my t-shirt to reveal my Genie padded bra. “First off, I didn’t even notice that you were wearing one if you were concerned. Secondly, I think this is a little tight. You can probably go a size bigger.” She then proceeded to show me why it was too tight. 

“Lets go back to your fitting.” She wrapped the measuring tape back around me and said, “OK so you are a 40”. Then she moved the tape up a bit and measured my chest. “Well, you are definitely 2 inches or a B cup but I am going to assume you would like something a little bigger.” I nodded and said, “But I don’t want them to be too big. I would like them to have a natural look.”

“Then I think you should either go with a C or D cup. Personally, with your shape, a C might be better.” I nodded again. She said, “Just wait here and I am going to see if I can find you some bras to try on. Oh, by the way, I can put a star on the door instead of your name.” I gently said, “You can put Michelle.”

“Ok perfect. Michelle, I will be right back.” She gave me a huge smile and a little wink and headed out. A couple of minutes later, I hear a knock on the door and I hear “Michelle, can I come in” It was so nice to hear my girly name said to me for the first time. I wanted to say “YES” but I didn’t want to say anything with my male voice so I just opened the door to the changeroom. I think I was blushing when she came in.

She had given me 3 bras for me to try. 1 of them I put it on and quickly took it off. Not for me. The second I put it on and I heard “How’s it going in there Michelle?” I opened the door, telling her that she could come in. She looked at me in my new bra and said, “Now that looks good! Actually amazing!” She asked me to turn around and she looked at the back. “Perfect! I really like this bra on you, Michelle.” There was my name again. Euphoria! I loved hearing my name.

“Ok try on the other 2 and let me know what you think.” I quickly said, “I tried this one on and I didn’t like it. I took it off immediately. I’ll try the other one.” 

I quickly changed bras and Tracy came back in. “That one looks nice.”

“I like it but I don’t like the straps and the way that they come up. wearing a t-shirt like this one is nice but I am afraid that if I wear anything else, you are going to see those straps, which is a huge sign that I am wearing a bra.” She agreed and said, “Ok. Take off that one and put the other one back on. I will be right back.”

“I'll be right back???” I agreed but now I was a little baffled. Why is she asking me to put the other one back on? I did as she said and a couple of minutes later, I heard a knock and “Are you ok Michelle?” I open the door and Tracy walks in with a couple of pieces of clothing:

A black silk camisole.

A beautiful light blue blouse with a flower pattern.

The dress I had my eye on when I walked in.

“Why not give these a try. You have amazing blue eyes so I wanted to see how these would look on you.” I was absolutely shocked. I was literally on Cloud 9. She continued, “Well you need a nice cami and this one will compliment the bra. I think this blouse will look nice with your eyes and you already had an eye on this one.” She gives me a huge smile and a giggle.

I tried on each item. Each felt amazing and Tracy came into the changeroom to give her opinion too. The silk camisole felt amazing and looked great. Tracy agreed. The blouse she picked out looked great. The dress I picked out looked great on the rack but, unfortunately, did not look good on myself.

I changed into my normal clothes and waited a few minutes. No Tracy so I slightly opened the door to see if anyone was outside. The coast looked clear so I opened the door and headed out of the changeroom. There were 2 women standing there that I could not see from the crack of my door. So I looked them straight in the eye, smiled and said, “Excuse me ladies” and walked right past them. One gave me a nice smile and the other gave a stunned (not weird) look.

I went to the cash register and said to Tracy, “Those other clothes are lovely but I think I am only going to get the bra today.” I had tried on the black version but ended up getting the “beige/nude” version. I am going to go back to get the black one soon.

As I waited to pay, I pulled up my phone and gave the store a 5 star rating on Google Maps. I waited to post it because I wanted to show her the review.

Before leaving, I had to thank Tracy for an amazing experience and it will be something I will never forget. The last thing she said was, “Michelle, it was a pleasure helping you today. Please come back soon if you want to do some more shopping and try on some different outfits.” I was smiling from ear-to-ear. One very satisfied customer.

Thank you Tracy! Thank you Torrid!

One of my Christmas presents to myself this year was a second @shovava-clothing shawl (2nd year in a row to buy something for myself from her store). Taken it a bit to get here, though the vast majority of that was on the Canada Customs/Post end of things. It took from Dec 15-17 to go from her store in Australia to customs in Richmond BC, where it lingered in customs until Christmas Eve (yay Christmas parcels backlogs, /sigh), and then spent an age crawling across Canada (probably via truck) through several statutory holiday days, until it reached the sorting terminal in Mississauga and got booted back up north to my neck of the woods. I say ‘back up’ as the truck would have passed within a 20-30 minute drive from here on its way through Ontario from Manitoba, assuming it took the commonly-used-for-trucking highways 17->69->400 corridor. At least I had the Canada Post tracking updates to keep me amused while waiting.

I love how pretty this scarf is! The photo doesn’t really do it justice, as the lighter turquoise parts of the dragonfly wings aren’t showing with anywhere near the saturation they actually have, and the dark background is more very dark blue than blue-black IRL

I went for the lighter cotton fabric instead of the silk-cashmere that I went with for last year’s night owl scarf, and am planning to use this one as a spring-summer scarf, while the owl will be more autumn-winter.

B roll - 2020 08 18

18 - I was obsessed with trains when I was young. So much so that for Christmas when I was 12 I begged for a model train set. I got it, too. No one ever commented on it back then, not that I recall.

18 - I wish I had cookies.

18 - Don’t take your recording device into the bathroom with you. We transcriptionists can tell. This also holds for anyone who’s calling any kind of customer service while they’re doing their personal business. We. Can. Tell. You. Rude. Bastard.

18 - I just used the word "grody". The '80s called. It wants is Valley speak back.

18 - Basic income doesn't disincentivise work, it allows people to work better, more effectively.

18 - With a basic income I could go back to school to get the certifications required to expand my transcription work abilities. It would also allow me to volunteer more, which is something I enjoy doing and serves the community.

18 - Why do we continue to demand the most vulnerable live on the least? Food, utilities, clothing, transportation, assistive devices, medications, because ODSP (for example) doesn't cover all needs, and the most impactful is rent. Who can live on that and pay market rent?

18 - I'm a disabled person but it happens I don't need accessible housing. I can live in regular housing without an issue. I have other concerns with housing in Hamilton though that involve location, safety, and quality of life.

18 - My favourite porn is looking at other people's art supplies.

18 - So, while Ontario cuts its $100 pandemic payments to ODSP clients, large chunks of whom never knew it existed nor got it, BC extends its $300 payments until December. Thanks ever so, DoFo.

Fabric Printing in Ontario: A Blend of Tradition and Innovation

Introduction to Fabric Printing in Ontario

Fabric printing has become a vibrant and innovative industry in Ontario, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. This sector is not only a hub for creative expression but also a significant contributor to the local economy, offering a wide array of options for designers, businesses, and consumers alike. From artisanal techniques to cutting-edge digital processes, Ontario’s fabric printing industry is a fascinating mix of the old and new.

Brief History of Fabric Printing in Ontario

The origins of Custom Fabric Printing in Ontario date back to the early textile mills, where the art began as a small-scale craft before evolving into the dynamic industry it is today. In the 19th century, Ontario’s textile industry was largely driven by the need for practical, durable fabrics. However, as the province grew and diversified, so did its textile industry, leading to the development of more sophisticated and decorative fabric printing techniques. Today, Ontario is recognized for its unique blend of historical techniques and contemporary innovations, making it a leader in the textile printing field.

Types of Fabric Printing Techniques Used in Ontario

Ontario’s fabric printing industry showcases a wide range of techniques, from screen printing to digital methods, each offering unique benefits for designers and consumers. Whether you’re looking for bold, vibrant designs or subtle, intricate patterns, there’s a fabric printing method in Ontario that can meet your needs.

Screen Printing Screen printing remains one of the most popular methods in Ontario, known for its durability and vibrant color reproduction. This technique involves creating a stencil (or screen) and using it to apply layers of ink on the fabric. It’s particularly favored for large orders and designs that require strong, opaque colors.

Digital Printing Digital printing is gaining traction in Ontario, providing flexibility and precision for intricate designs on various fabrics. Unlike screen printing, digital printing doesn’t require screens or stencils, making it ideal for small runs or custom designs. This method uses inkjet technology to print directly onto the fabric, offering a fast turnaround and the ability to reproduce complex images with a high level of detail.

Sublimation Printing Sublimation printing offers a specialized approach in Ontario, ideal for creating long-lasting prints on synthetic fabrics. This method uses heat to transfer dye onto the fabric, resulting in a print that is embedded into the fabric rather than sitting on top of it. The result is a vibrant, durable design that won’t fade, crack, or peel over time, making it perfect for activewear, sports jerseys, and other high-performance clothing.

Key Players in Ontario’s Fabric Printing Industry

Ontario is home to a diverse range of fabric printing companies, from small boutique studios to large-scale commercial operations, all contributing to the province’s rich textile landscape. Notable companies include local print shops that specialize in custom designs, as well as larger firms that produce fabrics for major fashion brands and retailers. These businesses are known for their commitment to quality, innovation, and customer service, making Ontario a go-to destination for fabric printing.

Sustainability in Fabric Printing

As environmental consciousness grows, Ontario’s fabric printing industry is increasingly focusing on sustainable practices, from eco-friendly inks to organic fabrics. Many companies are adopting water-based inks that reduce harmful chemical use and are safer for both the environment and workers. Additionally, there is a growing trend toward using recycled and organic materials, which not only reduce waste but also appeal to environmentally conscious consumers. Ontario’s fabric printing industry is proving that it’s possible to be both innovative and sustainable, setting a standard for the global textile market.

Innovations and Trends in Ontario’s Fabric Printing

The fabric printing industry in Ontario is at the forefront of innovation, embracing new technologies and trends that are shaping the future of textile design. Digital printing, for instance, is revolutionizing the way fabrics are produced, allowing for greater customization and faster production times. Additionally, there’s a growing interest in combining traditional techniques with modern technology to create unique, hybrid methods of fabric printing. The integration of digital tools with age-old practices is resulting in designs that are both fresh and rooted in history, appealing to a wide range of tastes and preferences.

Challenges Faced by the Fabric Printing Industry in Ontario

Despite its growth, the fabric printing industry in Ontario faces challenges such as competition from overseas markets and the high cost of raw materials. The global textile industry is highly competitive, with many countries offering lower production costs. This puts pressure on Ontario’s fabric printers to innovate and differentiate themselves to stay competitive. Additionally, the rising cost of materials, particularly for sustainable options, can make it challenging for local businesses to maintain profitability while also meeting the demand for eco-friendly products.

The Future of Fabric Printing in Ontario

Looking ahead, Ontario’s fabric printing industry is poised for continued growth, driven by advancements in technology and a commitment to sustainability. As consumer demand for customized, high-quality, and eco-friendly fabrics increases, Ontario’s fabric printers are well-positioned to lead the charge. The future of fabric printing in Ontario will likely see even more innovation, with new techniques and materials emerging that push the boundaries of what’s possible in textile design.

Conclusion

Fabric printing in Ontario is more than just a craft; it’s a reflection of the province’s creativity, innovation, and dedication to quality in the textile industry. From its rich history to its cutting-edge technologies, Ontario’s fabric printing industry continues to evolve, offering endless possibilities for designers and consumers alike. Whether you’re in the market for custom prints, exploring sustainable options, or simply interested in the art of fabric printing, Ontario is a vibrant and dynamic place to be.

Wild and crazy guys  - 1965-1975

The junk business attracted so many crazy individuals that it would take me forever to jot down their names and give at least one story per guy to back up these claims. My customers were basically Jewish scrap  dealers who were the largest in their market area.  They had to be large wholesaler dealers to be able to sell and ship to our national consumers. Almost all were first- or second-generation family businesses. Most were well off financially and enjoyed the perks of having a cash business.  As Les Finkle from Oakland once said on the subject, “What is so great about cash? It can only buy, clothes, jewelry, art, food, booze, and women; well come to think about it, it is pretty good!” Although the fun stories about the junk dealers will come, I want to write about two adventures with a DMC employee, Roger Bowler. I worked with Roger when he was part of the DMC dismantling Division in St. Louis on a job in Canada, and when I lived in LA and we did a job in Mercury, Nevada.  When I moved back to St. Louis as DMC’s president, I made him quit his current job at Chemetco and be our VP of Purchasing.  

In the late 60’s most copper producers published and lived by fixed “public consumer prices”, which was what they charged their customers for their copper rod, etc. The Canadian (Noranda) price for rod was about 20 cents per pound below what the US scrap market was, because the finished rod price was fixed, but scrap fluctuated daily.  Percy Weismann, who sold DMC his Canadian scrap company, was running our plant in St. Jerome, Canada where they were chopping insulated copper wire. He was buying scrap wire from all of the wire makers and saw a real opportunity.  Why not buy rod from them at the published price and ship it to the USA as scrap?  Good idea, but how would you get finished rod across the border through customs as anything but high duty rod?  Easy, have Kenny Fischer and Roger Bowler go to Windsor, Ontario (across the river from Detroit) open Percy’s railroad cars full of new wire rod and beat the rod with axes and hammers until it looks like scrap.  Then ship it to Olin Brass as scrap and make about $10,000 per carload. It was almost that easy and quite a learning experience. We had to hire about 10-day workers in Windsor, go to the rail yard, find, and open the cars and then do our work.
