A Cabinet of Curiosities - Public Items
Public
This is for ..forgotten moviestars, historic curiosities, unknown forefathers, strange vintage posters, excentric persons, abandones building, underground cities, fascinating lifestorys, weird, or interesting stuff hard to categorize., or just.... As you see I´m not very specifiic in my categorization of this Twine. Initially this was a place for stuff that may be of interest for other than me , but doesnt fitted into any of the twines I joined, and I first used this as a personal container for everything, but with time it changed to be mostly about persons in the past, historic curiosities and forgotten things, abandones buildings, etc. However, I decided to make it public. If you like the items and feel comfortable in the contect, and want to add things, that you think fit in the enviroment of items here - feel free to post an item here - you can see a posting here as "link suggestion", I may remove the post if I dont find it fit into the context of this twine.
PS.
About the title, I was inspired from this Wikipedia article:Cabinet of curiosities

Five New York City Riots - NeatoramaOn May 8, 1970, construction workers clashed with students and anti-war protesters in New York in what became known as the Hard Hat riot.
