Leland, Michigan

These images come from Fishtown which is located in the heart of Leland, Michigan. The body of water pictured is called the Leland River, which is a very short outlet stream between Lake Leelanau and Lake Michigan.

The buildings on either side of the stream are wonderful in their rustic characteristics. The fish tug pictured is attractive as well—the Janice Sue was built in 1958; it's covered so that people fishing can do so in adverse conditions/for a longer season.

Three images by Richard Koenig; taken August 6th 2023

"The way you make an omelet reveals your character."

ROSE RALEIGH

Age: 26 Gender and pronouns: Female, She/Her Occupation: Chef De Partie at Friday Saturday Sunday Neighborhood: Fishtown

BIOGRAPHY

tw: parental abandonment, cancer, infidelity

Rose Raleigh was the result of a quarter-life crisis.

Her mother, Alma, during a nervous breakdown of sorts, ran away from her husband and two children and landed herself in Philly while having what she described as “a nervous breakdown about her impending 30th birthday”. In a matter of weeks, after meeting him in the family diner where he worked, she was shacked up with Donny Raleigh in his apartment over the restaurant – named ‘Rosie’s Table’, a neighborhood staple. It wasn’t more than a month later that Alma was staring down two pink lines on a pregnancy test in Donny’s bathroom.

Her third child was on the way.

Fast forward to roughly eight months later, and Alma had had a change of heart about Donny, along with her husband and kids. Unceremonious would be the best way to describe her exit from the hospital after giving birth to her baby girl, jumping on the next flight out to reunite with her “real” family.

Donny didn’t think twice about what single-fatherhood would mean – the guy was all in.  He raised Rose (named after his mother, the diner’s namesake), in the apartment above the diner. Rose grew up around the sizzle of the fryers and the smell of grilled onions; Sunday brunch regulars gossiping over endless coffee refills and hungover college students begging for a bacon egg and cheese even though they were a buck short. As soon as she was old enough to refill a ketchup bottle and roll silverware in a napkin, Rose was on the payroll.

She wanted connection desperately, and it was so easy for her to find in the kitchen. Rose loved the feeling of nourishing people, being a part of their daily routines and special events by proxy of the food that she made for them. She soaked up every foodie blog she could stumble across – Donny even sprung for the extended cable package so they would get more cooking channels. It wasn’t a shock to anyone when she set her sights on Le Cordon Bleu in Paris.

(Thank god for scholarships and Donny had been setting aside a portion of his tips since the day she was born.)

With a huge send off at a neighborhood block party, Rose waltzed out to Paris…and quickly realized that she was in over her head. However, failing and disappointing everyone in the diner who believed in her was not an option. With dedication and stubborn will (and several unhealthy coping mechanisms), Rose came out the other side with her degree in hand and a world full of potential at her feet –

And ended up right back in the comfort of her father’s kitchen.

It was there that she met Greg, the son of a local plumber who was allergic to pickles (hence why she remembered his order). One date turned into two, two went on to twenty, twenty led to moving in together, which led to a wedding.

Two weeks after he walked her down the aisle, Donny was diagnosed with lung cancer.

For the first year nothing seemed different, aside from a cough and chemo (which still wasn’t enough to stop the guy from smoking). Then he needed to wheel oxygen around with him – that added another year. And then things went downhill fast, and Donny was bedridden and in a hospital more often than not. Unable to handle the operations of the diner anymore, he signed ownership over to his daughter – but medical bills continued to pile up and additional treatment was needed, and then eventually in home hospice care.

Rose sold ‘Rosie’s Table’ to cover the expenses. And Donny died the next day.

The two weeks later, on the last day the diner was open, Rose ended up fucking a friend over the prep counter after closing. Greg ended up seeing the security video.

Things went downhill fast.

Divorce paper's freshly sighed and living in a studio partment, she pours herself into her position as a line cook at one of Philly's most exclusive restaurants – smoking out back like a fiend, doing a line or two mid shift, and wondering how the hell she got here.

ROSE RALEIGH has the face claim of DAISY EDGAR JONES and is played by DELL.

I need to hire some *Philadelphia* artists!

I'm looking for a couple POC artist/illustrators to work with me on a science education project. The caveat is that they have to live in a River Ward district(Kenzo, Fishtown, Port Richmond, etc) because of who's funding this work. Anyone interested can email me some examples of their work (an instagram or website works) at SkypeAScientist at gmail dot com. This project will be focusing on animals that live along the NJ coast. We can offer $500 to illustrate the front of a coaster, depicting either a cownose ray or ctenophore, dealers choice.

There will be 3 designs total. The unifying design that will be on all the coasters (above) was created by @seanmartorana. These coasters will be distributed to bars throughout the river wards in the summer of 2023! The artists name or handle/logo/etc will go on the back, and we'll post about this project on social media repeatedly, always tagging the artists!

Please pass along to any Philadelphia artists. I'm going to have some other projects coming up soon that we'll need artists for too. Ideally also in the river wards but those are a little less stringent depending on funding source.

(For anyone who is not an artist, the hotline already works, feel free to play with it)
