I bet you have all been wondering where my 30 Blocks of Squalor rants have gone. You probably thought I was going soft. Maybe you thought I was being cowed by the libtards who accuse me of racism for pointing out obvious facts. Not so. The traffic in the summer lightens up considerably on the Schuykill Expressway, so I haven’t descended upon the 30 Blocks of Squalor in over a month. But I do get to experience a few blocks of squalor after I get off the Schuykill at Girard Avenue and take a couple shortcuts to my parking garage. I make a right turn at 34th and Fairmount Avenue and come down 36th street to Penn.
About a year ago construction started on a vacant lot between 35th and 36th street and between Wallace and Fairmont. I was unsure what they were building for many months. But eventually I realized it was a housing complex. I was confused as to why brand new houses would be built amidst squalor and hundreds of vacant dilapidated hovels in this neighborhood. For over a year, union construction workers have been scurrying about. They created a beautiful complex of 110 houses in a square, with a beautiful courtyard in the middle. It also includes eight store units along Fairmont Avenue. You can see the pictures in the story below.
I’m very familiar with this area of West Philly. It is called Mantua. It is just north of where I lived for two years while attending Drexel. I lived in Powelton Village on 33rd and Baring Avenue. With Drexel and Penn occupying the area between 30th and 40th from Walnut Street to Market Street, there is a strong demand for student housing. The old houses in Powelton Village are large and easily dividable into 3 or 4 units. Entrepreneurs, without any government handouts, took chances and renovated old houses to make a profit. They pushed the riff raff above Hamilton Ave. This new housing complex is about 4 blocks above Hamilton Ave.
You don’t have to take my word for the fact this area would need a step up to reach squalor. The Census data paints a picture of Democratic entitlement success.
This area is in the 19104 zip code, but so is Univ of Penn. Luckily, the Census Bureau can break down the data in maps. The dark green area in the map below indicates that 90% of this area is occupied by black people.
The yellow area in the map below indicates that the median home value in this neighborhood is less than $30,000. Sounds like an inviting neighborhood, doesn’t it.
The green area in the map below indicates that more than 20% of the housing units in this neighborhood are vacant.
The yellow area in the map below indicates that the median family income in this neighborhood is $16,000.
So now I’ve provided the backdrop for the coming outrage. About two weeks ago the construction workers put a name on this 110 unit development – Mantua Square. Now I had a lead. I googled the name and hit the jackpot. It seems this entire complex is public low income housing.
Now the best part. The project cost is $27 million. And guess who footed the whole bill? YOU!!!!!
Remember Obama’s $800 billion stimulus package? It paid for a big chunk of this project. Various other HUD and Philadelphia Housing Authority funds paid for the rest. The person writing the story below thinks it is a wonderful project and will revitalize this dangerous cesspool of a neighborhood. I wonder if she thought about the numbers for just a second.
The government is spending $27 million of your money on a 110 unit complex. That comes to $245,000 per low income house. You may recall that the houses in this neighborhood are worth $30,000. You may also recall that 20% of the existing houses are vacant. This is a classic Democratic solution. Unemployment in this neighborhood exceeds 50%. Drugs are rampant. The grade school across the street has bars on its windows and matriculates brain dead morons into society.
Even though there is no demand in this neighborhood for more housing or more retail establishments, the government uses your money to build it anyway. There is no retail in this neighborhood because it is crime ridden and the median family income is $16,000. The government building 8 retail stores will not make them come. Entrepreneurs open businesses when they have a chance to make a profit.
Take a good look at the nice pictures below. This is the nicest it will ever look. The free shit army has begun to move into the complex. As I drove by this morning, I noticed a new BMW and new Cadillac parked outside a couple of the units. It’s good to know the free shit army can afford nice cars while living in low income housing.
Think about how many other boondoggles like this were committed with your $800 billion of taxes across this great land of ours.
Mantua Hall becomes Mantua Square
Living in the Powelton neighborhood, Mantua Hall, in adjacent Mantua at 36th Street & Fairmount Avenue, had become a familiar sight over time. It was an 18-storey highrise housing project visible from University City and the Schuylkill Expressway. So, of course, it was exciting to witness its implosion in March of 2008. I was a block west at the intersection of 37th & Melon Streets. Then, it was even more exciting to attend the four public meetings that spring in which the Philadelphia Housing Authority discussed their plans to rebuild the site and add some new townhomes on the surrounding blocks.
The plan they had was to rebuild the entire block bordered by Fairmount Avenue, Wallace Street, 35th & 36th Streets with walk up apartments surrounding parking and a courtyard. The Fairmount Avenue side was to have stores across the street from the McMichael School. Then they would build six clusters of townhouses on the surrounding blocks. They applied for a federal HOPE VI grant, a competitive grant program for rebuilding public housing, for the construction.
What is being built there now is almost identical to the original plans, except they are building three clusters of townhouses on the surrounding blocks, instead of six. That’s because the Housing Authority didn’t receive the HOPE VI grant, but did receive other federal funding, including money from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the federal economic stimulus program. The new housing, called Mantua Square, will have many of the same residents as the old project, but those with any recent criminal records will be prohibited. The intention is to have a mix of lower middle class and low income residents in a safe environment. The retail on Fairmount Avenue will help create a sense of community along with the school, bring badly needed retail to Mantua, and perhaps provide business and job opportunities to neighborhood residents. The additional townhouses on surrounding blocks include a duplex at 36th & Wallace, two homes with mansard rooves on 36th below Wallace, and some duplexes on Wallace east of 35th Street.
The new development has already created renewed interest in Mantua, west of 34th Street. Neighboring homes were going for approximately $250,000 just before the implosion, a significant increase from the 5-figure average prices in the neighborhood before redevelopment. Buildings adjacent to and surrounding the Mantua Square development are being renovated at an increasing rate. Mantua has reached the point where there is at least one renovation project on each block, and sometimes several. The neighborhood will see further change due to the Union Hill development, a development of about 50 large, affordable townhouses, a couple of blocks west of Mantua Square, centered around 39th & 40th Streets. These homes are slowly selling off, with about a dozen homes already occupied and another dozen or so with “sold” marked on the doors. Also, the whole neighborhood is in the catchment area of the School of the Future in Fairmount Park; adjacent to Lancaster Avenue, which has just had a large streetscape improvement; and within walking distance of Drexel University and Fairmount Park (and two bridges on 40th & 41st Streets, over the railroad tracks leading to Fairmount Park, are being rebuilt). The redevelopment of Mantua is going at a strong pace. And, it is happening with a mix of housing for people of all incomes.
It will be trashed and stripped for scrap before it opens. If the drive weren’t so far and the neighborhood so bad I would take supplies for my own shit. Not like the contractors have this factored into their bids. Think about this free plumbing, electricals, drywall, trim, windows and appliances.
Also it’s Uncle Chung’s money too, never forget him. He keeps the crack credit and crap goods flowing to keep the man happy. Now I think for a $245K house I would like better neighbors. I would think the minimum to buy a house or condo of that value would be around $100K income and $50K down. Are gun’s allowed in Philly yet or have the liberals banned you from protecting yourself? Peace.
What can be said – the mind boggles at the insanity of it. We really need to bring back horsewhipping.
Yah, another Federal boondoggle and mostly a waste of your money and mine. But look on the bright side, Jim. This project produced some jobs and created some attractive – for a short while and until they’re trashed – apartments. But better than all this, Mantua Square’s bucks spent are dollars that weren’t wasted on bombs, bullets, and banksters. I know, that’s little consolation but, like I wrote, look on the not so dark side of the dark side.
llpoh,
Remember what horsewhipping (Preston Brooks’ caning of Charles Sumner on the Senate floor) led to. Better that we bring back statesmanship and the attitudes and actions of the four giants of the 1850s (Webster, Clay, Calhoun, and Fillmore) instead of the Stowe, Scott, Kansas Act, and Brooks provocations that felt good (to some) but led to no good.
I am sure you are right, Jackson. But fuck it, let’s horsewhip the stupid thieving bastards anyway.
A cold breeze just passed through hell, snowflakes and all… I find myself in reluctant agreement with llpoh about horsewhipping. It’d be nice if we could whip some piggies, too.
The last time I drove on the Sure Kill was in 1978 dodging pot holes that could swallow a cow. I was driving an MGB back then and it wasn’t much bigger than a cow. At that time PA had some of the worst highways I’ve ever been on. Have they ever fixed the roads up there?
I want to make a general statement off topic but that is very important at this time.
We have no leadership at this stage of history. No statesmen to step up and tell the truth and make good decisions.
Both our political parties are beholden to certain groups and factions and thus will not budge from their silly pre concieved notions.
We are headed for the abyss. This is 100% for sure and cannot be stopped.
“The new housing, called Mantua Square, will have many of the same residents as the old project, but THOSE WITH ANY RECENT CRIMINAL RECORDS WILL BE PROHIBITED …:”
So, that means it is going to remain empty for several years?
HoosierGuy
I like your sense of humor. It reminds me of someone I once knew. I can’t put my finger on who. Welcome to the site.
Looking at the photos makes me think of “The Fountainhead”.
Bruce, the roads are still awful. And i’m in Pittsburgh, the other side of the state. It’s just pathetic.
Bruce
Potholes are the least of my worries. I drive a Honda Insight on the Sure Kill. One false step and they’d never be able to identify the body.
Thanks. Not out of the woods yet. Things are tense. Will tell a story when I can.
With all the vacate housing in the U.S., they build more. This is happening all over the U.S. Every Redevelopment Agency is doing the same thing.
This example of government intervention in free markets shows perfectly how warped Keynesian solutions are to the economy.
A few blocks away, the free market worked perfectly. Powelton Village was a dangerous run down area. As demand for student housing grew because two Universities were expanding enrollment, capitalists bought the run down houses, renovated them and turned them into rental units that generated profits for the landlords. This increased the value of the housing stock in the neighborhood, drawing more investors and residents. No government involvement in this scenario.
Four blocks away, the government spends $27 million on public housing when there are 20% vacant houses already in the neighborhood. Therefore, there is no incentive for any capitalist to buy the crappy houses and renovate them and rent them out for a profit. The government is already giving away free houses. The neighborhood around Mantua Square will continue to deteriorate and eventually it will become so bad that it won’t be safe to live in Mantua Square. Bars will go up on every window. The vacant eight retail stores will have their windows shattered. Grafitti will be on the walls.
The government will contract for another mural of black people doing great things to be painted on the side of a local bar.
Reminds me of the redevelopment they did around the infamous Cabrini-Green complex…

They’ve had mixed results, so far.
WE HAVE BUILDINGS ON CAMPUS THAT ARE 150 YEARS OLD AND ARE USED EVERY DAY. PHILADELPHIA JUST IMPLODES 48 YEAR OLD BUILDINGS AND STARTS OVER. I WONDER WHY?
Mantua Hall was one of the oldest and tallest public housing buildings in Philadelphia. The 18-story building was imploded on March 30, 2008 just after 8:30am. According to the Philadelphia Housing Authority, Mantua Hall, which was completed in 1960, was demolished in order to replace “the style of vertical public housing with modern, safe, attractive low-rise communities.”
The building was old and outdated, and the most practical decision was to simply start over, which is exactly what they did. The PHA, also known as the biggest landlord in Philadelphia, took the liberty to relocate the residents of Mantua Hall into alternate locations and imploded the high-rise building. The PHA began construction of a new batch of 101 low-rise apartments on the site at the end of last year.
The PHA announced on January 8th of this year that they have “no plans to slow down its robust pace of building affordable housing for low-income seniors, disabled citizens and families in the New Year even in the face of the weak economy,” and that includes the new 101-home site, Mantua Square, designated for low-income families.
Mantua Square, which is a $27 million project, is funded with public housing dollars and private investment through the Low Income Housing Tax credit program. The PHA hopes the entire project will be completed by mid-2010.
Word Press having issues with images again today, I see.
This shit will never end. I get to drive up to St. Louis sometimes, and E. St. Louis lives in infamy. They’ve built new houses and condos there by the dozen, for free to somebody. The contractors are making a small fortune, as are the contractors in Philly.
When you give a man a fish, he eats for a day, and the fish has no value because he didn’t catch it. Instead of teaching the FSA to catch their own fish, they keep direct depositing their fish and SNAP and free housing and cell phones and free healthcare and meds. And guess what? They have no value. Mantua square will be destoyed in a year, because the people living there place no value on the property because they have no skin in the game and/or are getting it for free.
Where I live, in Shit Stain Illinois, there are several towns. They each have condo-like buildings which the locals refer to as “the high rises.” They are called as such because they are 12-15 story apartment/condo buildings, the highest buildings in town. These structures are the icons of the town, and guess what, they are free public housing. So, if you work, and you forget where all your property taxes, sales, auto, and professional taxes, local, state, and Federal taxes are going, you are reminded every day just by driving through town. And the inhabitants? They live in the “high rise”, the beacon, the pinnacle of housing in the area, for free.
When is this going to end?
Admin: you are pissed because the govt has finally done something for the Black man.

I’m happy for the solid citizens of West Philly.

Obama Giving Black Farmers $1.25B in Reparations
Black farmers – possibly over 70,000 of them – will get cash payments and debt relief from the federal government totaling $1.25 billion, in reparation for alleged racial discrimination suffered under the Department of Agriculture’s loan programs, the Obama Administration has agreed.
http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/obama-reparations-black-farmers/2010/02/21/id/350458
Admin: solid citizens indeed! Awhole: it was a joke. This will never end. When it ends, the FSA will come after us and our wives, daughters, &tc. The govt is bribing the FSA to kinda behave. However, the marauding gangs of “youfs” are getting more brazen and dangerous. Spent another wonderful day in East Tennessee putting rounds downrange. Was visited by the local Sheriff. I introduced myself and told him that we were from So Fla and thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality. He looked at the array of weapons and said ” I guess y’all need that stuff down there”. It’s getting to the point where we need “that stuff” everywhere. It is up to each and every one of us to take responsibility for our safety and the safety of our families. That means purchasing firearms and learning how to use them. The popos will not protect us. Eric Holder will not protect us from “his people”. We must do it ourselves.
Ragman: Obama handing out another $1.2 billion is not a joke. Can’t a brother get a billion man?
I think it’s a grand plan:
Create the FSA, then pull the plug. All hell breaks lose (planned), declare martial law, suspend elections, and voila–Obama dictator, Obama bucks, Obama jobs, and Obama moral compass.
Or, go live in Panama, Viet Nam, Thailand, New Zealand, Australia, take your pick.
The Left will never understand that the egg did not, in fact, come before the chicken: “bad neighborhoods” became bad because they have worse humans in them, and not because they started out with bad housing, litter, etc, as though by some random luck of the draw some neighborhoods were blighted with crime while others have “good schools.” Within a year this housing development will just as bad as the area it was built to replace, because the new inhabitants just won’t give a shit.
Anybody else starting to think the American Revolution was a mistake? King George never would have created something like public housing. Hey Prince Harry, come on over and become our king, wouldn’t ya, we’re sorry about that whole independence thing, it was based on a misunderstanding.
“American Murder Mystery
Why is crime rising in so many American cities? The answer implicates one of the most celebrated antipoverty programs of recent decades.”
By Hanna Rosin
Key excerpts to this explosive piece:
“About five years ago, Janikowski embarked on a more ambitious project. He’d built up enough trust with the police to get them to send him daily crime and arrest reports, including addresses and types of crime. He began mapping all violent and property crimes, block by block, across the city. “These cops on the streets were saying that crime patterns are changing,” he said, so he wanted to look into it.
When his map was complete, a clear if strangely shaped pattern emerged: Wait a minute, he recalled thinking. I see this bunny rabbit coming up. People are going to accuse me of being on shrooms! The inner city, where crime used to be concentrated, was now clean. But everywhere else looked much worse: arrests had skyrocketed along two corridors north and west of the central city (the bunny rabbit’s ears) and along one in the southeast (the tail). Hot spots had proliferated since the mid-1990s, and little islands of crime had sprung up where none had existed before, dotting the map all around the city.
Janikowski might not have managed to pinpoint the cause of this pattern if he hadn’t been married to Phyllis Betts, a housing expert at the University of Memphis. Betts and Janikowski have two dogs, three cats, and no kids; they both tend to bring their work home with them. Betts had been evaluating the impact of one of the city government’s most ambitious initiatives: the demolition of the city’s public-housing projects, as part of a nationwide experiment to free the poor from the destructive effects of concentrated poverty. Memphis demolished its first project in 1997. The city gave former residents federal “Section8” rent-subsidy vouchers and encouraged them to move out to new neighborhoods. Two more waves of demolition followed over the next nine years, dispersing tens of thousands of poor people into the wider metro community.
If police departments are usually stingy with their information, housing departments are even more so. Getting addresses of Section 8 holders is difficult, because the departments want to protect the residents’ privacy. Betts, however, helps the city track where the former residents of public housing have moved. Over time, she and Janikowski realized that they were doing their fieldwork in the same neighborhoods.
About six months ago, they decided to put a hunch to the test. Janikowski merged his computer map of crime patterns with Betts’s map of Section8 rentals. Where Janikowski saw a bunny rabbit, Betts saw a sideways horseshoe (“He has a better imagination,” she said). Otherwise, the match was near-perfect. On the merged map, dense violent-crime areas are shaded dark blue, and Section8 addresses are represented by little red dots. All of the dark-blue areas are covered in little red dots, like bursts of gunfire. The rest of the city has almost no dots.
Betts remembers her discomfort as she looked at the map. The couple had been musing about the connection for months, but they were amazed—and deflated—to see how perfectly the two data sets fit together. She knew right away that this would be a “hard thing to say or write.” Nobody in the antipoverty community and nobody in city leadership was going to welcome the news that the noble experiment that they’d been engaged in for the past decade had been bringing the city down, in ways they’d never expected. But the connection was too obvious to ignore, and Betts and Janikowski figured that the same thing must be happening all around the country. Eventually, they thought, they’d find other researchers who connected the dots the way they had, and then maybe they could get city leaders, and even national leaders, to listen.”
And later: The smoking gun of who visited this disaster upon Americans’ (note the name please – another subversive in our midst)
“Polikoff is a hero to Betts and many of her colleagues. In August 1966, he filed two related class-action suits against the Chicago Housing Authority and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, on behalf of a woman named Dorothy Gautreaux and other tenants. Gautreaux wanted to leave the ghetto, but the CHA offered housing only in neighborhoods just like hers. Polikoff became notorious in the Chicago suburbs; one community group, he wrote, awarded him a gold-plated pooper-scooper “to clean up all the shit” he wanted to bring into the neighborhood. A decade later, he argued the case before the Supreme Court and won. Legal scholars today often compare the case’s significance to that of Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka.”
Forgot the link to this MUST READ piece:
http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2008/07/american-murder-mystery/6872/2/
great piece (seriously). but, folks are shocked that poor people, even when given free shit, will still tend to commit crimes.
as for ‘worse humans’ in those worse neighborhoods, i humbly submit there are more ‘worse humans’ per square foot in greenwich, ct than in any ghetto in america.
dumbass.
howard
It’s the scum in Greenwich and Manhattan and the Hamptons that created the system where this type of government mal-investment could occur. I don’t blame the people getting the low income housing. I blame the people who created a system that allowed debt to finance this crap.
i don’t mean to harp. it was the ‘worse humans’ comment einstein dropped that set me off.
and i am just bitter i never got to live in rent-controlled housing, much less got a section 8 voucher.
there are people in my building who pay a fraction of what i pay for the exact same apartment. pure jealousy on my part.
Actually Jim the cost is probably less than 27 million . Private builders/owners of both section 8 housing and moderate income housing are given tax credits to build these complexes. A moderate income complex may cost 11 million to build but the builders are given 5 million in tax credits which they can sell to banks etc. Therefore their cost is actually around 6 million…this is one of the things that Lobbying Washington buys you . The rewards are very good for the owners .
LLPOH…I love it, a picture of Preston Brooks whipping Charles Sumner’s ass with a cane. Some of my family members say that Preston is a distant relative. Brooks was fined 300 bucks for whipping his ass .
Admin: This is going on all over the county. Public housing is finally catching up with brand new granite counter tops. That’s where much of the stimulus money has gone. Remodeling and building brand new slums. Can we say Acorn payback.
IF YOU DONT LIKE IT, TAKE YOUR RACIST ASS BACK TO THE SUBURBS THEN. NOBODY ASKED YOU TO MOVE INTO THESE NEIGHBORHOODS, YOU DID NOT ORIGINATE HERE SO GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM IF ITS SO BAD. STOP BEING TIGHT WITH YOUR MONEY AND COMMUTE IF YOU DONT LIKE LIVING HERE. JUST LIKE TRUMP SUPPORTERS TO MAKE AFFORDABLE HOUSING A BAD THING.
Dumbass can’t even read for comprehension. I wouldn’t live in that putrid neighborhood full of ghetto rats if you paid me $500,000. Must be an Obama loving liberal. Free shit army housing enslaving black people in poverty for 50 years. You dumbfuks couldn’t think your way out of wet paper bag. Go use your EBT card to get some malt liquor.
Written five years ago and guess how many of the 8 retail stores built into the complex are occupied by retail establishments?
A BIG FAT ZERO!!!!
In a shocking development, no entrepreneur in their right mind would ever open a store in this crime ridden ghetto filled with free shit army soldiers.
Another brilliant investment by liberal Democratic leadership. This Obama Keystone Zone is as disgusting and depressed as ever.
Affordable for who fuckstick? Those that work for it or those that don’t deserve it? If you want to provide affordable housing to people, move a few of them in with you. Do it with your own resources! Do it out of the goodness of YOUR heart! Do it for Jesus! Leave me and my wallet out of it. Taxes are just the modern form of slavery………stealing the labor (paychecks) of others. Slavery never ended, it was just expanded and redistributed among all.
You help the people you want to help with your money and I’ll help the people I want with my money. That’s the only way you can ever expect the money to be spent responsibly and effectively. It’s called charity when you or I give it and slavery when the govt takes it. Not all that hard to understand right?
I GUESS ITS OK TO BURN TAX PAYER DOLLARS ON COURT TRIALS OF WHITE RAPIST AND SCHOOL SHOOTERS ONLY TO HAND OUT LIENENT SENTENCES RATHER THAN MAKE SURE POOR PEOPLE (INCLUDING WHITES) HAVE A ROOF OVER THEIR HEAD LOL YOU PEOPLE ARE REALLY SICK AND WHATS REALLY FUCKED UP IS THAT YOU THINK THAT YOU HAVE THE SOULUTION WHEN IN REALITY YOU JUST LOOK LIKE BUTT HURT RACIST AND BIGOTS WHO, REGARLDESS OF HOW MUCH YOU TRY TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE YOURE RIGHT, ARE TOO WEAK AND IRRELEVANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT HAHA! JOKES ON YOU! BLACK FOLKS ARENT GOING ANYWHERE GET OVER IT. AND PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE THE REASON WE HAVE GHETTOS AND POOR PEOPLE THROUGH OPRESSION AND BIASED LAWS, YET YOU WANT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IT? KILL YOUR SELF, FIRST MOVE OUT OF THE “SQUALOR” NEIGHBORHOODS YOU DESPISE SO MUCH THEN KILL YOUR SELF. WE DONT NEED YOUR RACIST WHITE TRUMP SUPPORTING CARCASS ADDING TO THE LITTER PROBLEM OF THESE STREETS.
Not a white person in the vicinity. People like me work at jobs, stay married, raise kids and pay taxes. Idiots like yourself actually believe enslaving blacks in welfare raises them up. I love when liberal dumbasses take a shit on this site so we all get to experience how low IQ idiots like yourself actually think. The brain of a liberal idiot is a horrible thing to witness.
And learn how to turn off your Caps lock you douchebag.
Hey Genital Smoker, blacks are free to get a fucking job, pay their taxes, pay their fucking bills and raise their families to be responsible and productive members of society JUST LIKE I DO! That they choose to wallow in the abject poverty and misery provided by the welfare state, after the liberal fucking politicians steal their cut, says all I need to know about them. They choose their oppressors at their own peril! Their oppressors are they ones THEY elect and the ignorant charlatans like the Right Reverend Jesse Jackson and his ilk that they choose to listen too.
When blacks stop killing each other and burning down their own neighborhoods and can again reliably tell who their fathers are because they were RAISED by them, MAYBE I’ll believe that black lives matter. tRump ain’t got shit to do with that! You dumb fucks are already blaming tRump for your problems and he hasn’t even been (s)elected yet! Fuck, you’re ignorant!
This is all about UN Agenda 21. Read Behind The Green Mask by Rosa Koire. Very enlightening.
