  • mikescottnz said:
    Rachel Carson the author of 'Silent Spring' was attacked by Monsanto before she died in 1964. Late in the 1950s, Carson turned her attention to conservation, especially some environmental problems that she believed were caused by synthetic pesticides. The result was the book Silent Spring (1962), which brought environmental concerns to an unprecedented share of the American people. Although Silent Spring was met with fierce opposition by agri-chemical companies, it spurred a reversal in national pesticide policy, which led to a nationwide ban on DDT and other pesticides, and it inspired a grassroots environmental movement that led to the creation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Carson was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Jimmy Carter. www.gmwatch.org/videos/food-safety-videos/17103-from-ddt-...

    Aha! After a fair amount of research, I figured out exactly where the shop is. Looks like the original building is still standing (satellite photo).
  • iris.schimandle said:
    Again, shop is not at Proviso and is therefore in Chicago rather than Melrose Park.

    The "giant hammer" tagged by "Shmoovio (Jarrett)" looks like a pulley lift with a big hook.
