Hamilton’s Philadelphia home near 3rd and Walnut Streets was just a few blocks from the the boarding house where 23-year-old Mariah Reynolds rented a room with her husband James. Reynolds was a young woman from New York whose husband used her to ensnare Alexander Hamilton in an extortion scheme through an affair that lasted for about year from the summer of 1791 through June 1792.

    Step Outside Show Artist Collective

    Episode 95 Step Outside Show is a Philadelphia based artist collective showcasing the street art and graffiti scene. Their latest show featured works by 100 artists primarily from Philly but also a few from Baltimore and New York.  This was their third major show  – all of their events are interactive – visitors can tag and leave your own mark while you celebrate the diverse collection of street art and artists featured in the exhibits. Step Outside Show is creating a space where street artists can display and sell their work, giving the visitors an opportunity to experience the ephemeral nature of street art while also creating a little sense of permanence in something that is so fleeting – because we never know how long some pieces on our streets will last. Step Outside Show takes no cut for exhibitions, all monies from artwork sold go to the artists, which puts money back into our communities. I’m thrilled to be joined by Doomed Future, Robo Q 4 and Raw G Zero to talk about Step Outside Show. TwistedPhilly is researched, hosted, and produced by me, Deana Marie, and available wherever you listen to podcasts. Additional production assistance is provided by Jeremy Collins, creator and host of the podcasts we listen to podcast, and founder of the online community Podcasts We Listen to.

    The Divine Lorraine

    Episode 93 In 1892, architect Willis G. Hale began construction on a lavish apartment building on Broad Street in north Philadelphia. What began as a turn of the century residential multi family structure evolved over the last 120 years into something so much more – the Divine Lorraine. This is the story of that evolution, lead by a man named Reverend Major Jealous Divine, better known as Father Divine. Father Divine purchased the Lorraine in the 1940s and turned it into Philadelphia’s first integrated hotel. He ran the Peace Mission Movement from this ornate behemoth of a building, and after his death his wife and followers fought off efforts by Jim Jones to take over the movement.

    The Story of Oney Judge

    Episode 92 Ona Maria Judge – better known as Oney – was born into slavery in 1774 at a familiar location in Virginia: Mount Vernon. Oney’s mother Betty was brought to Mount Vernon after George Washington married Martha in 1759. Betty, and her descendants, were considered the “property” of Martha Washington’s first husband, Daniel Custis, who’d died just a few years before Martha married George. At the age of 10, Oney Judge was Martha’s attendant, caring for Martha’s wardrobe and her personal needs. Then, George became the President. He and Martha chose a number of enslaved members of their household to relocate with them to New York, and soon thereafter Philadelphia. While in Philadelphia, Oney saw free Black men and women – building a community outside the bondage of slavery. After more than six years as an enslaved woman in the President’s house in Philadelphia, and a lifetime of slavery before that, Oney Judge made the courageous decision to flee the Washington’s household. She was considered a fugitive, one that George Washington refused let go.

    The Center City Rapist: Part 2

    Episode 90 – Originally released January 2020 Content warning: this episode contains discussions about sexual assault and murder. Listener discretion is advised. Between the summer of 1997 and August 1999, six women in the Rittenhouse Square neighborhood in Center City, Philadelphia, were raped by a man known only as the Center City Rapist. One woman, Shannon Schieber, was murdered in May 1998. All of these attacks occurred within about five blocks of one another. The first two attacks were little more than one block apart, yet it took years before these assaults were linked by the Philadelphia Police Department. In the spring of 2001, a series of assaults in Fort Collins, CO, almost mirrored the attacks in Philadelphia. The trail of the Center City Rapist went cold until police from different states worked together to identify the man who terrorized two cities thousands of miles apart over a span of five years. This is part two of a two-part episode about the victims and survivors of the Center City Rapist. If you or someone you know has been the victim of sexual assault, you can contact the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-4673.   Research sources for this episode include: The Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN)The National Sexual Violence Resource CenterThe Philadelphia Inquirer Archives 1997 – 2004The Philadelphia Daily News Archives 1997 – 2004Inquirer Magazine Archives: A Baffling Case,  by Barbara Boyer, July 21, 2002,The Guardian: Investigating Rape in Philadelphia: How One City’s Crisis Stands to Help Others by Joanna WaltersThe Daily Pennsylvanian: The Story of Shannon Schieber by 34th Street, January 22, 2004The Marshall Project: Rape isn’t rape, is it? by Christian Miller and Bob MeagherThe Washington Post: Maryland Politics by John Wagner, February 13, 2013People Magazine Investigates: Terror in Philadelphia (available for purchase on YouTube)The Fort Collins Coloradoan Archives 2000 – 2004Catholic Mobilizing NetworkThe Catholic Review TwistedPhilly is researched, hosted, and produced by me, Deana Marie, and available biweekly wherever you listen to podcasts.

    The Center City Rapist: Part 1

    Episode 89 – Originally released January 2020 Content warning: this episode contains discussions about sexual assault and murder. Listener discretion is advised. Between the summer of 1997 and August 1999, six women in the Rittenhouse Square neighborhood in Center City, Philadelphia, were raped by a man known only as the Center City Rapist. One woman, Shannon Schieber, was murdered in May 1998. All of these attacks occurred within about five blocks of one another. The first two attacks were little more than one block apart, yet it took years before these assaults were linked by the Philadelphia Police Department. An investigation by the Philadelphia Inquirer in 1999 uncovered a period of more than a decade from the mid ’80s to the late ’90s when 30% of reported crimes were classified as non criminal emergencies. At least two of the assaults committed by the center city rapist fell into this classification. DNA went untested, and a 911 call made the morning Shannon Schieber was murdered was “unfounded.”  Today the Philadelphia Police Department is an example of how to effectively support sexual abuse survivors, how to respectfully care for them and bring their attackers to justice. Sadly, it wasn’t always this way and that culture of hiding violent crimes, in many cases sexually violent crimes against women, may have contributed to the rape of a dozen women across two states. This is part one of a two-part episode about the victims and survivors of the Center City Rapist.
