I experienced Color-Aid in my pre-grad color class for my MS in Interior Design. I found it easier to mix acrylic paint colors than to use the Color-Aid paper; at least at first.
For every project in the class, there is a corresponding fun event that I missed with my ex-husband and other friends. I found having a life impossible while in grad school.

Sus steps into the way back machine...
to the summer that I worked at the library where I went to college. The college had a rare editions room, as well as back-stacks of unusual editions. The Albers Yale edition was one of the ones that I spent time with over that summer, any excuse to go back into the stacks and peruse a folio.
great post!
im thinking of buying this book but was wondering what you think of the colors in the book compared to the real deal. They look slightly muted and dulled down in the amazon views.
Marcus Loew had attempted to buy the Empire Theatre, but negotiations failed. Real estate developers instead found him the building site at the northwest corner of Salina Street, then occupied by the Jefferson Hotel, along with frontage for a block along Jefferson Street.
By mid-morning on that first day, hundreds had formed lines outside the new theatre. For an admission price of 25 cents, patrons were directed by uniformed ushers through the lobbies, absorbing the wealth of colors and materials such as marble and terrazzo. Rich tapestries, exotic furnishings, and filigrial chandeliers also adorned the palatial theatre.
The main auditorium, which now houses 2800 seats, was decorated in rich reds and golds and elegantly accented with wall ornaments. The 1,400-pipe Wurlitzer organ offered its own exotic flavor, treating patrons to such sounds as a glockenspiel, marimba, bird whistles, hoof beats, and surf sounds.
On May 3, 1976, the US Department of the Interior listed the Theatre in the National Register of Historic Places. This provided a federally protected preservation covenant, making SALT eligible for preservation funding and discouraging commercial development.
The high point came on October 11, 1977, with a sold-out benefit with Harry Chapin. Despite these valiant efforts, SALT remained more than $30,000 short. On November 5, the State Office of Parks and Recreation, citing the magnificent effort of volunteers, announced a matching grant of up to $35,000 for acquisition of the Theatre. The National Endowment of the Arts also made a $5,000 grant for architectural feasibility studies.
On June 29, 1979, the title to the Theatre was finally transferred to SALT. Volunteers swarmed over the building, removing now-prohibited asbestos, replacing some 1,800 light bulbs, and many other tasks.
Since the completion of the stage expansion, the Theatre has been host to many top-level national acts, including Jerry Seinfeld, Jackson Browne, Celtic Woman, Ray LaMontagne, and numerous Broadway touring shows, in addition to the many corporate and fundraising events held at the Theatre each year.

The Landmark Commission is a seven-member board established in 1975. Its role is to preserve, protect, and perpetuate buildings, structures, sites, works of art, and other objects having special historical, community or aesthetic interest or value. As such, exterior changes to local landmark properties require review by the Landmark Commission. The Commission and the City are committed to the preservation of the distinctive features for which Shaker architecture is known.
Seventy five percent of the City is located within the Shaker Village (PDF) that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Shaker Heights is also home to the Winslow Road Historic District (designated as a local historic district in 2007), a local historic district that surrounds Shaker Square, and 46 individually designated local landmarks.
