This site is a gift to my neighborhood and my city. I make no money through this work.
Where is Sunnyside? Google Maps says it is here: https://goo.gl/maps/gwW3p4FiBzP2
But there have been other boundaries, including the original ones from 1891: Maps of Sunnyside.
“The transformation of the given raw material of sheer happening which the historian, like the fiction writer,…must effect is closely akin to the poet’s transfiguration of moods or movement of the heart—the transfiguration of grief into lamentation or of jubilations into praise.”
Hannah Arendt, ‘Truth and Politics’ (1967)
Background wallpaper with the graphic “Sunnyside the Magnificent” is from a newspaper advertisement from the San Francisco Chronicle, 26 April 1891.
