the origins of the city ' s street names convey much about the history of subiaco . street names reference an array of government figures , sporting identities , business people , flora and industries , as well as people and places that are reminders of distant homelands . research is ongoing to fully document the origins of the streets . read the city of subiaco street names report ( pdf , 522kb ) .
ccc works off of a point - based membership system . there are three different primary levels of driving membership . the amount of in - car drive time you get depends on which membership you choose .
the area now known as subiaco was the homeland of the nyungar people long before the first european settlers came to the area . a group of benedictine monks settled in the area in 1851 and called their monastery new subiaco after the birthplace of the benedictine order – subiaco , italy . the monks planted olive trees and fruit orchards in the neighbourhood for their use . an olive branch is symbolised on the city of subiaco coat of arms and is an integral part of the city ' s identity . the city continues to plant olive trees to acknowledge their historical significance . when the perth to fremantle railway opened in 1881 , the name subiaco was adopted for a railway station near the monastery and later for the cluster of houses and businesses that became the present subiaco . more european settlers followed , as land was cheaper compared with perth , and the railway encouraged light industry and retail . subiaco was proclaimed a municipality in 1897 and became the city of subiaco in 1952 . subiaco has a sister city relationship with two overseas cities :

johanna schneller writes in her premiere profile of the movie that when talking to pitt and norton , the two actively tried to avoid talking about
fight club .
she explained ,
they resist . eventually they tell me that , yes , they ' re here to talk about ' fight club , ' but they don ' t actually want to talk about it .
as an aside , schneller wrote ,
( oh , i get it - - in the subversive spirit of ' fight club , ' they ' ve decided to deconstruct the magazine interview . )
in the early afternoon of may 23 , 1903 , horatio nelson jackson and sewall crocker slid into the front seat of a gleaming , cherry - red winton touring car and chugged down san francisco’s market street amid a sea of horse - drawn carriages . the sleeping bags , cooking gear and supplies packed inside the automobile testified to a long journey ahead , but the road trip on which the men were embarking was truly epic—an unprecedented cross - country drive to new york city .
most histories of chicago house begin with frankie knuckles , a disco dj from nyc who played records with larry levan at the continental baths , a gay bathhouse in downtown manhattan . levan had been offered a job as the resident dj of a new nightclub that chicago promoter robert williams was opening in the city ' s west loop in 1977 , but levan was already committed to a permanent residency at the paradise garage . levan recommended knuckles , who relocated to chicago and took charge of the music at the warehouse , a dance club that would cater primarily to gay black and latino men . when the club doubled its entry fee and went upmarket in 1982 , knuckles left the warehouse and started his own club , the power plant . not to be outdone , the warehouse responded by renaming itself the music box and hiring dj ron hardy as its new resident .

their unremarkable nature seemed to reflect their home city . leicester , a racially diverse , modestly prosperous city of 330 , 000 people 100 miles north of london , is famous for david attenborough , its excellent local cheese , and the odd pop star – engelbert humperdinck , anyone ? – but it’s hardly a soccer hotbed . its rugby club , the tigers , is arguably just as popular . leicester , like most of the region , lacks a strong cultural identity : for east midlanders , people from the south think you’re from the north , and people from the north think you’re from the south . in fact , leicester might be most notable for the fact that people outside the uk can’t say its name right . ( it’s pronounced less - ter . )
both of them felt there was a need in la for what granic calls ,
a safe place for the deviants , a place where gay and straight nightlife wasn ' t so compartmentalized but instead encouraged to mingle .
for alexander , accr is neither a gay club nor a straight club nor even a bisexual club , but rather ,
all that and more ; it ' s a place where you can go to shed those labels and break down those walls in the interest of having a good time .
there ' s a real effort to make a mess of neat sexual identities and create something more fluid .
everybody is an opportunity ,
alexander says .
things have changed a lot in johannesburg since the ' 90s . khati returned to the city in 2012 and found that most of the clubs she knew had disappeared :
downtown johannesburg was like a ghost town .
on the upside , however , she noted a lot more visibility of gay men on the streets of the city .
young , pretty and very fashionable black queers . this was great to see , although sadly there is still a lot of brutal violence against black lesbians , which i believe to be connected to patriarchy .

in her profile for premiere , johanna schneller writes that the first time norton fully smiles during the interview is when he starts recounting the ridiculous simplification him and pitt would use to describe
fight club .
as the actor sat up in his chair and affected a
glib , oily voice ,
norton began saying ,
for a while we were describing it as a story about two friends who start an amateur boxing club for disadvantaged young men . . .
david fincher gave an in depth description to film comment in 1999 , about what inspirations went into creating the
fight club
look , most of which involved making things dirtier . one popular convenience store was specifically named by the director :
once you ' ve signed up , you ' re asked to come down to the club to learn the basic ' house rules , ' and the general how - tos on how to treat their cars . ccc calls this an induction .
enterprise car club website or mobile app . search for and reserve a vehicle at a moment ' s notice , or weeks in advance at any time of the day or week ; simply unlock the cars and vans with your smartphone app or contactless access card , retrieve the keys from the glovebox ( protected with your own designated pin ) and drive off . at the end of your reservation , simply return the vehicle to its original location for the next person to use after you have safely locked and ended your trip .
being queer wasn ' t easy during the ' 80s and ' 90s—especially in the townships surrounding johannesburg .
it was pretty much a no - go to declare that you were anything other than heterosexual . there were terribly violent consequences for anyone that came off as even mildly camp .
the main queer - friendly house clubs during the ' 90s were in the more affluent white districts , such as 4th world , johannesburg ' s first dedicated house club , embassy club and idols .
in contrast to the us , disco in the uk had a substantial straight , white , working class following back in the ' 70s , which left fertile ground for acid house to take root and become a national ( and then international ) phenomenon . starting around 1985 , chicago house began to appear in the uk , at northern soul as well as all - night warehouse parties in manchester . acid house quickly became popular in london . the gay nightclub heaven was one of the first venues to host acid house nights . in 1987 , danny rampling ' s shoom became the first club with exclusive acid house programming , opening in the city after rampling returned from holidays in ibiza with paul oakenfold and nicky holloway . a year later , holloway would open another acid house club , trip .
city ' s chief executive , james finlayson , said it was a strategic acquisition which will allow
our current and future members to have access to our cars in most major uk cities . buying whizzgo was a key move and one we have been looking to make for some time .
jackson recruited crocker , a 22 - year - old former bicycle racer and a gasoline engine mechanic , to be his passepartout . based on crocker’s recommendation , the former physician purchased a used 20 - horsepower winton touring car for the treacherous journey . jackson named his new wheels the “vermont . ”
there ' s certainly a lot to say about berlin ' s electronic music scene , which is a mess of overlapping party circuits that bring together gay men , lesbians , transpeople , ethnic queers , straight folks and others—albeit rarely all in the same club .
on a facebook post about a farmer market back in 2010 , townsend commented about her business ,
we are professional soap makers and made all the soaps for the movie ' fight club . ' they actually discovered us at a farmer ' s market !
they were part of a generation of primarily black and gay djs that brought new dj techniques and sounds from places like nyc and chicago . throughout the ' 70s , detroit ' s dance scene was divided along sexual and racial lines : ken collier used to play at the downstairs pub , in the basement of the upscale disco club l ' esprit , but it was the set lists of the white dj upstairs that appeared in vince aletti ' s
disco files
column . collier would later go on to hold a saturday night residency at the gay after - hours club heaven until his death in the mid - ' 90s . gholz reports that many of detroit ' s
techno pioneers
saw collier as a mentor and
godfather
of dj culture in the city , but he gets little more than a passing mention in the history books ( see
at the start of the season , bookmakers had leicester at an incredible 5 , 000 - 1 to win the premier league – greater than the odds on kim kardashian becoming the next us president . and yet it didn’t seem outlandish . leicester’s best performance in their entire history was second place in 1928 - 29 ; in the premier league era they’d never been higher than eighth . last year , only a last - gasp escape from the relegation zone kept them in the top flight . their history is one of a moderate provincial club , shorn of star names , bobbing between the first and second tier , eclipsed by their more famous east midlands rivals forest and derby . riyad mahrez , their skinny - legged star who grew up in the northern paris suburbs , admitted when he joined that he’d never even heard of leicester city . “i thought they were a rugby club , ” he said .
. more recently smart bar , chicago ' s longest - running dance music club , has inaugurated a gay night ( queen ! ) and a classics - oriented , vinyl - only night ( hugo ball ) , both of which have been attracting crowds from different generations , sexualities and ethnicities .
there ' s something ironic about chicago ' s mostly - white and heterosexual raver community finding out about their own city ' s queer , black musical heritage through a magazine printed on the other side of the atlantic . but it ' s also not entirely surprising : chicago ' s urban landscape has been racially divided for decades , and it still
there ' s also much more to be said about ethnically - oriented events that go beyond dance music ' s history of black - or - white racial politics , such the queer south asian and middle eastern dance events found in many cities : gayhane ( berlin ) ; jai ho ( chicago ) ; besharam and rangeela ( toronto ) ; urban desi and club kali ( london ) , sholay and color me queer ( new york city ) . and we never even got to cover the vibrant
sissy bounce
scene in new orleans , with big freedia , sissy nobby and a whole new twerking generation of queer , gender - whatever performers .
it was so bizarre ,
reflects thaemlitz .
around 1997 , disney just came in and bought 42nd street . literally . the sex district was gone within just a few months . i remember disney had one of their fucking electric parades down 42nd , and they had so much political clout that the city actually turned off all the streetlights for them . i mean , that may not sound like a big deal , but to anyone who did activist work and had heard endless bullshit from cops and city officials about safety regulations , fire codes and all kinds of crazy shit to limit the movement of protestors , it really laid bare the relations between commerce , politics and the construction of mobility within ' public spaces . '
ccc also works to keep their members preoccupied by organizing multiple trips and driving rallies each year . the club does all the planning , the members pay the tab , and the next thing they know , they ' re putting down laps in rented nissan gtr ' s as the world - famous nürburgring nordschliefe in germany .
it all depends on when you want to drive , what you want to drive , and what membership you have . because ccc ' s system works off a point system , each time you take out a car , points are deducted from your account . when you hit 0 points , ccc will ask you to top up so that you can remain an active member .
he added : “we were keen to acquire whizzgo’s locations in key cities in the north of england which will now enlarge our base for future expansion and this dovetails perfectly with our strategy of growing our network both outside , as well as inside , of london . our enlarged network will be able to deliver new member benefits and accelerated growth to the burgeoning car - sharing industry”
all driving members get unlimited , 24 / 7 access to their chic soho clubhouse location . ccc also has a ' happy hour ' event almost every week in the clubhouse , which all members are invited to for free drinks . members usually see it as a great opportunity for networking and for meeting new friends and other car people . again , where else does this happen ?
in 1990 , she attended her first rave , at an old disused cinema in the district of yeoville , recalling it as ,
a religious experience [ that ] would profoundly change my life .
before the age of 20 , she founded planet hendon , a club in a space above a coffee shop where she worked .
we had a long tradition of black women running drinking holes—called shebeens ,
says khati ,
and the women that ran these illegal boozers were known as the shebeen queens .
in a way , she was continuing a family tradition by running a club , since her grandmother ran a jazz shebeen in the 1950s .
but one more win , and the title is leicester’s . it’s not in the city’s nature to brag and boast , but this time they’ll allow themselves a celebration . everyone in leicester is “backing the blues” . “if we win the league , you’re going to see the biggest party you’ve ever seen in this country , ” james ferrar , a leicester supporter , told the guardian’s simon hattenstone .
by the beginning of the ' 90s , the first rave events were being organized in new york ( storm rave ) and toronto ( exodus ) . with chicago house ' s sudden success in europe , the city ' s first generation of house djs were constantly busy with overseas bookings , and so a younger generation of chi - town djs carried the torch into the midwest rave scene .
