House Flipper Library

[Prisc Chandola]

Ihave mentioned this in a supporter post, but House Flipper has become a go-to game in my library for when life just gets too much, like how we all have a library of films to watch when atrociously hungover (mine included Legend and This Is Spinal Tap).

It was a big day for me when I could finally afford a to flip a whole house in House Flipper, that being the titular goal of the game. The awful grey/orange kitchen and living area up top there is my creation, the sort of fun new build advertised for students (except every home in House Flipper is a detached home in a MASSIVE garden).

Turns out, flipping houses is really easy and I don't know how everyone isn't winning at capitalism all the time. You just need to do a few odd jobs (waving a mop at dirt until it disappears, repainting a bedroom, mowing a lawn) for a few thousand dollars each, and pretty soon you've got enough to turn a three room maisonette type thing into a nook that an old couple will spaff at least $50k on.

Everything in House Flipper is blissfully, tragically easy. Painting a wall is a case of pointing your chosen colour at it. The roller does all the work. And you can get a better roller! You can upgrade your mop! You create order from chaos, like a god creating man from a lump of clay.

This apparently is related to Adobe Creative Cloud, and appears to be used to house log files for Adobe CC. It is *not* the same Library folders that macOS uses to store your settings, etc. - which are located in an entirely different location on the hard drive.

Okay, so if it has a library folder, can you do a screenshot of that Finder window in either column view or list view so we can figure out what it has (and therefore figure out where it actually should be). Do this after you set this up:

With a Finder window open, go to View in menu bar and choose "show path bar" and "column view". Then follow the path to get to the library all the way from the device and take a screenshot. Make sure to obscure any private info.

So, is this the User library or the Macintosh HD library or the Systems library? You will have access to your User library, but due to the new inaccessible OS and system files volume in Big Sur, you will no longer have access to anything parked within those walls.

FWIW, I only remember one other post that someone mentioned a Library folder inside the Documents folder. Unless that was you in a previous post. I've never had a Library folder in Documents on my M1 MacBook Air.

City Clerk Nikolin Vangjeli and principal staff assistant Mary T. Vigliotti walked through the building one morning last week like house flippers on a cable television series, seeing the space for what it will be, not what it is now.

There's still a long road ahead, but the idea behind establishing the City Archive is to again fill the former library's shelves with rare documents and artifacts from the city's history that go back to the 1700s, when the city was actually still a town.

The city bought the property last year after Becker announced its last class would be graduating in the spring. The city bought several properties, but the library is contained within the former Weller Academic Center at 61 Sever St.

Vangjeli said the city's vast inventory of records is spread out among nearly a dozen city departments. He said his office tries to accommodate requests by researchers to view certain documents, but they can be hard to locate because there has never been a consistent method of cataloging them.

The clerk's office keeps all manner of records generated in the city, from City Council meeting minutes to property deeds, birth records, marriage records and deaths. A lot of what is stored in the basement vaults at City Hall are relatively run-of-the-mill, but treasures of the city's history have also been preserved.

Vangjeli delicately flipped through the pages of the town's official journal during the particularly turbulent years before and during the Revolutionary War, when Worcester was a hotbed of revolutionary activity before the more well-known "shot heard round the world" in Concord.

Vangjeli stopped on a page of the chunky old volume smeared with streaks of black ink over delicate handwritten notes from 1774. He said opponents of British rule forced town clerk Clark Chandler to dip his hand in ink and redact notes that detailed the dissent of Tory "protestors," or those remaining loyal to the monarchy, in a city full of growing resentment toward the crown. The text had already been scribbled over, but that apparently wasn't enough for the townspeople who didn't want to wait until 1776 to declare their independence.

Vangjeli pulled out a Fire Department manual from 1905 and pored over a map of burial plots on what would later become the Common. He produced a hefty wooden scroll with a petition from the late 1800s to build a new City Hall on the site of the former meetinghouse.

The clerk said the City Archive will house the more interesting historical documents and artifacts in the city's possession and they will finally be available for viewing by the general public. The space allows for some long-term storage, as well as a separate processing area for documents coming into the facility. There will also be meeting room and research space; Vangjeli said he envisions the capacity to hold council subcommittee and city board and commission meetings in an open area at the end of the long, rectangular building.

Vigliotti, who is spearheading the conservation of some of the oldest documents the city has and consulting with archival operations in other cities, said the former Becker property will need some very specific alterations to accommodate the new collection. For example, the carpet will have to go; it collects dust and organic matter that could attract document-chewing pests. And the windows that give the space such a bright feel need to be brought up to UV-resistant standards to keep documents from degrading any faster than they already are. The lighting will be different, and the heating, ventilation, air conditioning and fire suppression systems will need upgrades.

Vigliotti said getting a handle on what the city has in its inventory has yielded a mix of paper documents and "3D objects" that could become standing exhibits in the new space. She said the Fire Department has a variety of objects and outside groups and individuals have donated items including maps, drawings and bronze plaques from the old City Hospital.

It will be a lot of work to get the archive up and running and over the next few months the clerk's office will be developing a full inventory of what exactly it has in various closets, vaults, basements and storage rooms throughout the city. Even former City Clerk Susan Ledoux has helped out, serving as a bridge of institutional knowledge and cataloging systems that span the tenures of former clerks Robert O'Keefe and David Rushford.

Vangjeli said the project has the full support of City Manager Edward M. Augustus Jr., who offered the space for use as an archive after the city made the purchase last year. Archive experts and architects have been brought in to look at the space and have determined it can be retrofitted to properly house old documents. He said he thinks there is enough space at the former Becker library to account for another 20 years of expansion, since new records are being created every day.

He said there is no official timetable for the work, but he said the fact that it is underway this year is fitting, since 2022 marks the 300th anniversary of when the town of Worcester was established.

Kevin Kelley Then another big goal very, very specifically for this year is to welcome young people back into the library after several years of fraught relationships with being a student. And the one way that we can go about unpacking that is to re-establish relationships with young people who are now potentially old enough to not remember having come to story time with their caregivers or who just don't have a library practice or a relationship with the library whatsoever.
