The Playground
In August, Tim Shea became the first person in the United States to move into a 3D-printed home, according to Austin-based developer ICON, in what advocates say is a milestone in efforts to boost the national supply of affordable housing. The technology can build cheap, climate-resilient structures in a fraction of the time of traditional construction. Vendor A. Allen shares his knowledge about Ida B. Wells-Barnett. Also, we pay tribute to long-term StreetWise Vendor Scott Elders. He was a fixture in Wicker Park and always made sure he was giving back to the community that helped him along his journey. He will be dearly missed.

A True Chicago Original!
4
'Sun Ra’s Chicago' Sun Ra (1914–93) was one of the most wildly prolific and unfailingly eccentric figures in the history of music. Renowned for extravagant performances in which his Arkestra appeared in neo-Egyptian garb, the keyboardist and bandleader also espoused an interstellar cosmology that claimed the planet Saturn as his true home. In “Sun Ra’s Chicago,” William Sites brings this visionary musician back to Earth—specifically to the city’s South Side, where from 1946 to 1961 he lived and relaunched his career. “Sun Ra’s Chicago” shows that late 20th century Afrofuturism emerged from a deep, utopian engagement with the city—and that by excavating the postwar black experience of Sun Ra’s South Side milieu, we can come to see the possibilities of urban life in new ways. Sites will be joined in conversation by Larry Bennett on March 15 at 6 p.m. The event is free but registration is required at www.semcoop.com/event
Classic Horror!

A living nightmare told from the viewpoint of Dr. Caligari’s murderous somnambulist, Cesare, "The Cabinet" takes the listener into a society on the edge of collapse, filled with murder and fear. A world where there is slim difference between dreams and life; love and terror; and science and insanity. W here the question is pressed: when Death stalks the village, is it better to sleep, or to wake? Tickets are $15 and provide streaming access through March 20. Register at www.cocechicago.com/radio/thecabinet. .
Jazz Legends!

Local Theater!
'Thin Mints' Slideshow Theatre presents its House Party Series: five readings of plays over the course of the spring and summer. First up: "Thin Mints" follows a troop of Bonfire Girls during a five-day woodland jamboree as they prepare for an important election. At the end of the retreat, one scout will be chosen to take over the troop. The girls use torture, terror, and trauma to claw their way to the top... but who is really pulling the strings? The play scores 100% on the Bechdel Test (which measures the representation of women in fiction) and offers a warped perspective on the consequences of a community governed by abuse and manipulation. Written by Ellen Steves (pictured) and directed by Associate Artistic Director Justin J Sacramone, March 19 at 7 p.m. Find more information at www.sideshowtheatre.org/2021-season.html
Art Imitates Life!
'Tokens of Promise' Goodman Theatre presents a virtual reading of Ada A.'s “Tokens of Promise” on March 20 at 7 p.m. In “Tokens of Promise,” there's only one open "diversity" analyst position at a start-up and the minorities must duke it out to access the sweet privilege of employment. A wicked satire about the modern-day job search and scarcity mentality, Ada A.'s new play exposes the inherent competition in employment that leads to forsaking our humanity out of necessity and survival.

Fan Mail & Russell Wilson
to the
Bears?
SPORTSWISE
In response to our 3-part piece on the Negro Leagues’ Chicago American Giants, the current SportsWise crew received its very first “Letter to the Editor”! Following the letter, the SportsWise crew will keep it local with a brief discussion of quarterback Russell Wilson possibly coming here from Seattle to play for our Bears. In the meantime, please enjoy the below from StreetWise customer Britta Bolin: I’ve enjoyed reading the Streetwise sports dialog for years and appreciate your contribution last month on early Chicago baseball. My children, both proud graduates of CPS (Chicago Public Schools), turned to baseball when History Fair rolled around. One did an exhibit on the Negro Leagues and the other on Satchel Paige. When my daughter moved to Kansas City and invited us to join her at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, we were excited. You’re right that few Chicagoans seem to know the proud history of the Chicago Giants. Fewer (probably) know that our team is featured in the Kansas City baseball museum where original jerseys and gloves are displayed! We think any true Chicago baseball fan would enjoy touring the museum. The triumphs and struggles of the players against Jim Crow laws (and less than equal pay) are depicted as well as their fervent love of the game, excellence at their positions
and…some of the international competition they engaged in during the 1920s and 1930s. We learned that Black American ballplayers were welcomed in Japan in 1927 before white/ Major League teams visited. There was also a Negro league in Cuba where Americans played. On a non-sports, musical note, the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum shares a building with the American Jazz Museum. It preserves the history of jazz music and, in pre-pandemic times, featured a lovely retro bar called the Blue Room, honor[s] musicians of the past and allow[s] visitors to enjoy live jazz and cocktails. Thanks again, Britta Bolin You’re welcome, Britta Bolin, and thank you for expanding our knowledge of this important piece of history.
Are quarterback Russell Wilson and the Chicago Bears a marriage made in heaven? John: Even if there were such a thing as a marriage made in heaven, Russell Wilson and the Bears wouldn’t work. One of the weaknesses of the Seattle Seahawks is one of the same weaknesses the Bears possess: the offensive lines are less-than-stellar. Russ: No way the Bears are going to land Wilson even though the Bears need him. I agree with John that both have poor offensive lines; however, one can be improved from one year to the next. If we do improve ours, we could keep Mitch Trubisky; that said, besides the fact that Wilson is a proven winner, he has an awesome name. Donald: I like Wilson. Like I’ve always said, we need a “real” quarterback here in Chicago. Long as we contin-
ue to try to raise someone to become a “real” quarterback, we’ll never succeed. Patrick: Good point, Don. In a weird way, because I like Russell Wilson even off the field, I’d almost not want to have him come here. I feel we may never win with someone of his stature, that we’ll win eventually with something other than a true quarterback. Russ: Right. Defense, running game, special teams— something else. John: Unfortunately for Wilson, even if he came, he could regress even more than he did in the second half of last season due to a similar lack of a running game. Or, at least, a coach who wants to run. Donald: I say bring him on. It’s time to try something different.

3-d Printed Homes build Hope for U.S. affordable housing
FROM THE STREETS

After years of homelessness and hard living, Tim Shea has swapped the sharp corners in his life for the round, flowing design of his new 3D-printed home in Austin, Texas. In August, Shea became the first person in the United States to move into a 3D-printed home, according to Austin-based developer ICON, in what advocates say is a milestone in efforts to boost the national supply of affordable housing. This month New York-based firm SQ4D listed what is purported to be the country's first 3D-printed house to go up for sale, while ICON completed the largest 3D-printed structure in North America – a military barracks. Shea, 70, said his new house - which he moved into for free and which is located in a community of formerly homeless people - has saved his life. "It's just phenomenally beautiful ... it just wraps around and gives me a feeling of life security," Shea told the Thomson Reuters Foundation by phone from his 400-square-foot home. The house's high ceilings, large windows and skylights make it feel larger than it looks from the outside, he added. Shea got to watch his home being built on-site by a large new "printer," developed and operated by ICON, a process which the company said took about 48 hours and is being reduced further as the technology improves. Large-scale 3D printing is gaining steam around the world as a quicker, cheaper and more efficient way of building housing, with some projects producing a home in 24 hours of printing time for just a few thousand dollars. ICON constructed the first permitted 3D-printed building in the United States in 2018 and is one of the few 3D construction firms focusing specifically on affordable housing. Last year, Habitat for Humanity's Terwilliger Center for Innovation in Shelter helped an Indian company called Tvasta build India's first 3D-printed home, which brought construction times down by more than a third and reduced waste by about 65 per cent. "3D printing technology has huge potential to boost the affordable housing sector," said Patrick Kelley, the center's vice president, in emailed comments.
Affordable and sustainable Using 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, for construction goes back to at least 2004, when a University of South Carolina professor tried to print a wall. Unlike other uses of 3D printing - such as medical devices or complex modelling - the process typically uses some form of quick-drying concrete laid precisely by a computer-controlled extruder. The approach has been used for niche projects in recent years - such as the world's first 3D-printed bridge, which opened to the public in Madrid in 2016. But it is now at the cusp of a major expansion, according to market analysts. While the global market for 3D-printed construction stood at $3 million in 2019, it is projected to grow to more than $1.5 billion by 2024, according to a study from consultancy Research and Markets.
Last year, the global industry publication 3Dnatives listed a dozen companies working on 3D-printed houses globally. Jason Ballard, who spent a decade working in housing and homelessness before helping form ICON four years ago, said he came to 3D printing seeking a construction method that was affordable, sustainable and climate-resilient. "For me it was always about housing," the CEO said, suggesting the technology should eventually be the "predominant paradigm" for home construction. This week a developer is putting the country's first series of 3D-printed homes up for sale for the mass market, with printing completed by ICON and move-ins expected this summer, the firm says. Ballard points not only to savings in cost and time but also labor, since homes can be printed off of a tablet or phone. The structures are also more resilient to disasters such as hurricanes, and more energy-efficient and easily adaptable to unique design needs, he added. "You could imagine hundreds or thousands of these printers - ending homelessness and the affordability crisis," Ballard said. ICON built its first homes in an anti-homelessness "village" in Austin, overseen by the non-profit Mobile Loaves and Fishes. The site, called the Community First! Village, is currently expanding to offer homes to about 500 individuals at the village, including tiny homes, recreational vehicles and six 3Dprinted homes, said the organization's president, Amber Fogarty. "What attracted us is the promise of this technology," said Fogarty. "A lot of the time, innovation becomes available only for people with resources, so for this to be available to our neighbors is really special."
‘Transformative’ technology Although ICON has only recently started rolling out its technology, Ballard said the firm has already been inundated with requests from homeless people, non-profits and foreign governments.

StreetWise Vendor a. Allen on Ida B. Wells
She also was one of the founders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). What I found to be the most intriguing thing about her story was in 1883, a train conductor with the Chesapeake & Ohio Southwestern Railroad ordered Wells to give up her seat in the first-class ladies’ car and move to the smoking (and drinking) car, which Wells refused to do. Wait, hold ’em up. This sounds familiar. On Dec. 1, 1955, didn’t a civil rights activist by the name of Rosa Parks refuse to surrender her seat on a Montgomery, AL bus?
INSIDE STREETWISE
The company has partnered with New Story, a USbased non-profit that works internationally to provide housing in low-income communities. Together, they are building houses in a community of fishermen and textile workers in Tabasco, Mexico. Elsewhere, New Story has typically constructed homes using cinder block, but they were interested in ways to work more quickly, said Sarah Lee, the group's chief operating officer. Housing is "such a massive problem, and without taking risks these families are going to be the last people to benefit from this technology," she said. Although the Tabasco project was slowed by the coronavirus pandemic, families will start moving into 10 of the houses in coming months, Lee said. ICON's work has also attracted interest from the US military. The Texas barracks - which the company finished this month - will house 76 troops as part of a project with the Department of Defense that will test a range of uses, according to Lt. Col. Alex Goldberg, a lead with the Defense Innovation Unit. The military is interested in using 3D printing to address its mammoth construction backlog and also in its response to natural disasters, Goldberg said in an interview. He added that the building process is five times faster than traditional approaches and has "significant" cost and labour savings. All of this means 3D-printed structures hold significant prospects for post-disaster missions, he noted. "Having this capability where you're not just building temporary facilities but can leave behind infrastructure that can get a foothold and begin the recovery - that has the possibility to become transformative," Goldberg said.

Ida B. Wells-Barnett was a very interesting African American woman, an investigative journalist, activist, educator and leader who led an anti-lynching crusade in the United States in the 1890s.
On one fateful train ride from Memphis to Nashville in 1883, Wells reached a personal turning point. She was outraged when the train crew ordered her to move to the car for African Americans. She refused on principle (she had paid for her first-class ticket). Wells was forcibly removed from the train by the conductor and several other railroad workers. Her dress was torn in the process and she bit the conductor on the hand. She sued the railroad and won a $500 settlement in a circuit court case. The decision was later overturned by the Tennessee Supreme Court. This injustice led Wells to pick up a pen and write. Just one of her many quotes is, “the way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them.” www.streetwise.org

Remembering StreetWise vendor Scott Elders by Suzanne Hanney
Scott Elders forged a new identity for himself in the last 11 years of his life, as a StreetWise vendor in Wicker Park and as a volunteer chef at Franciscan Outreach’s Marquard Center. Elders died late last year. “Between StreetWise and the Outreach, I’ve grown quite a bit and learned how to communicate with people,” Elders said in a StreetWise profile. “I used to be a ‘Billy Badass’ when I was growing up, so I didn’t get along with anybody. So I kind of did a 180-degree turn and now I get along with people and like people more than I did when I was younger. I just got older and got in the right positions with StreetWise. Plus, my customers are really supportive,” Elders said. Elders spent his mornings selling StreetWise at the Starbucks at 1588 N. Milwaukee Ave. Then, two nights a week, he walked a few blocks east to the Marquard Center at 1645 W. LeMoyne St. to start preparing its free dinner for 70 to 120 people. Chicken, hot dogs, brats, whatever the Marquard Center had, Elders would cook. "I don't know of any soup kitchens that do grilling, or fried chicken or make their own catfish. If we've got it, I'll cook it," Elders said in a StreetWise profile. DNAinfo described Elders standing over a barbeque grill in the Marquard Center courtyard, brushing sauce over preseasoned, donated pork ribs. If Elders had not been there, the ribs would simply have been baked, said Brother Doug Collins, who managed the kitchen’s volunteer staff. When Elders cooked – on Tuesdays and Thursdays – there was a 20 percent increase in Marquard Center patrons, Collins told DNAinfo. “He has been a wonderful asset. He puts a lot of love into his cooking,” Collins said. Margaret Curtain said she could always tell when Elders had done the cooking. “[He] cooks with spices and seasonings and tries to make the food taste better,” she told DNAinfo. Elders prided himself on the quality he delivered. "The good Lord wants us to give to people what you can, and I'm giving the best that I can." Elders was divorced years ago. Later, he suffered a nearly fatal car accident when he fell asleep at the wheel and was hit
14
by a semi-truck. His alcoholism worsened after the accident and he eventually became homeless. But more recently, he was able to drink controllably. Elders came to StreetWise in 2009. He had been panhandling at Clark and Lake streets when he met long-time StreetWise vendor Russell Adams. He started at Franciscan Outreach about the same time. Elders had stayed in shelters, and while he was grateful not to be on the street, he said in another StreetWise profile that he was always anxious that someone would attack him or go through his things and steal his phone while he was asleep. But mostly, his criticism was philosophical. Shelters needed to push people toward self-improvement, he said, not just give them a bed. “They’ve got to give them a little bit more and update their programs and make the shelters a working program so that if you want to stay there, you’ve got to be working [in some way],” Elders said. Elders created his own program through StreetWise and Franciscan Outreach. Cooking was his way of giving back to the latter for helping him gain a home again. He continued to volunteer and eventually was paid a $50 weekly stipend. He said he hoped to be an example. “I was on the streets and, before I found somebody that could help me, I had nobody to turn to. Now that I found myself a home, I can help others like I’ve been helped. A lot of homeless people know me and know I was on the street. So I’m trying to inspire them to do something for themselves. If they see me doing it, they can do it too.”
