# Hippodrome State Theatre

The Hippodrome Theatre (locally known as The Hippodrome or The Hipp) is a regional professional theatre in downtown Gainesville, Florida, United States. It was founded in 1973 by local actors and was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on July 10, 1979.

## History
### U.S. Post Office and District Courthouse

The building itself was completed in 1911, and served as a U.S. Post Office (on the first floor) and a Courthouse of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida (on the second floor).

## Structure
### Interior design

The present-day interior maintains much of the original walls, doors and beams from its post office and courthouse era.

### Historic hand-operated elevator

The Hippodrome building also has one of the oldest working elevators in Florida which requires the operator to manually close the screen, the door, and then pull a crank to operate.
The elevator was temporarily taken out of service in January 2024 after an inspection revealed issues with its braking system.
After a year of planning, restoration of the elevator began in February 2025. The renovations are estimated to cost $135,799 and are being funded by Alachua County's Wild Spaces & Public Places half-cent sales tax. They include the repair of damaged components and fabrication of new parts.

### Modern renovations

In 2013, due to the imminent discontinuation of 35 mm movie film, the theater used a combination of grant funding and a Kickstarter project to help fund its transition to digital projectors, which it estimated to cost $40,000.
The theater received a series of renovations in 2020, which included lobby improvements, better indoor and outdoor lighting, new speakers, and improved air conditioning. These renovations cost the theater over $324,000 and were partially funded by Wild Spaces & Public Places, a 2016 Alachua County tax initiate.

## Operations

The Hippodrome uses professional actors and has its own set designers, costume designers, sound engineers and lighting engineers for each of its main stage productions. It also provides youth theater education classes. The Hippodrome features Broadway and off Broadway productions and art house films.
The Hippodrome provides arts education for all ages, including classes & camps, in-school programs, workshops and behind-the-scenes opportunities for adults.
It is a relatively small location, with a 268-seat thrust stage main stage theater on the second floor and 80-seat cinema space on the first floor.

## Reception

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 17% of 18 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 3.9/10. Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 43 out of 100, based on 6 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.
Odie Henderson of RogerEbert.com awarded the film one and a half stars and wrote, "...by making all the wondrous ideas surrounding his protagonist’s main story seem mundane, Sigal undermines his own universe."
Luke Y. Thompson of The A.V. Club graded the film a C− and wrote, "Ultimately, Chariot certainly doesn’t lack ambition, just execution."
Julian Roman of MovieWeb gave the film a negative review and wrote, "Chariot is a hollow and absurd exploration of the afterlife. What begins as an interesting metaphysical dilemma devolves into gimmicky theatrics that make no sense whatsoever."
Alexander Harrison of Screen Rant awarded the film two stars out of five and wrote, "Ultimately, what moments do flash in Chariot are not enough to overcome the feelings of confusion and aggravation its viewers are left with..."
Sumner Forbes of Film Threat rated the film a 7 out of 10 and wrote, "Chariot may not blow anyone away with its inventiveness, but it’s right at home in the family of darkly funny science fiction films that are enjoyable to watch late at night."
# Crystal City station (Washington Metro)

Crystal City station is an underground Washington Metro station in the Crystal City neighborhood of Arlington County, Virginia. The station opened on July 1, 1977, and serves the Blue Line and Yellow Line services, with a Metroway bus rapid transit stop on the surface.

## Station layout

The station has two side platforms in a cylindrical vault, which runs east–west under plazas on the north side of 18th Street South between Jefferson Davis Highway and Crystal Drive. The fare mezzanine is located above the center of the platforms. The single station entrance is on the northwest corner of 18th Street South and South Bell Street, with a bank of escalators leading to an upper mezzanine.$^{:15}$
Located outside the station vault, the upper mezzanine has direct entrances to the underground Crystal City Shops. An elevator on the northeast corner of 18th Street South and South Bell Street connects directly to the lower mezzanine; each platform has one elevator from the mezzanine. Bus stops, including a Metroway stop served by both northbound and southbound buses, are located on South Bell Street under the 251 18th Street South building.$^{:15}$

## History

The station opened on July 1, 1977, part of the 11.8-mile (19.0 km) initial segment of the Blue Line between National Airport and Stadium–Armory stations that opened that day.
Virginia Railway Express began service in June 1992, with its Crystal City station about 0.2 miles (0.32 km) northeast of the Metro entrance. Metroway bus rapid transit service began on August 24, 2014, with a stop on Bell Street adjacent to the Metro entrance.

### Second entrance

An east entrance to the station was proposed in a 2002 WMATA study.$^{:1}$ Planning for the second entrance began in 2011.$^{:4}$ A 2014 study identified five possible locations for the new entrance, with locations on the northeast and northwest corners of 18th Street South and Crystal Drive preferred.$^{:53}$ In February 2019, the state committed to building the entrance as part of a package of transportation improvements for the construction of Amazon HQ2 in National Landing.
In May 2019, property developer JBG Smith sent an unsolicited proposal, proposing that Arlington County pay the company to act as design-build contractor for the entrance on company-owned property. The county and company signed a preliminary agreement in June 2020. Design of the second entrance reached 30% in March 2021.
In March 2022, plans were changed from an underground to a surface-level fare lobby to reduce costs. In July 2023, the Arlington County Board awarded a $117 million design-build contract for the entrance to a joint venture of JBG Smith and Clark Construction. A groundbreaking ceremony took place on July 12, 2024, one month after construction started. The new entrance is expected to open in 2027.
# Newton Highlands station

Newton Highlands station is a surface-level light rail station located in Newton, Massachusetts on the Green Line D branch of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority.

## History

The Brookline Branch of the Boston and Worcester Railroad was extended west to Newton Upper Falls by the Charles River Branch Railroad in November 1852. A flag stop was located at Oak Hill (later Newton Highlands). The Boston and Albany Railroad depot was designed by H. H. Richardson in collaboration with landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, and was completed in June 1887 shortly after Richardson's death. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 3, 1976, and is part of the Newton Railroad Stations Historic District. Commuter rail service on the line ended in 1958; it reopened as a light rail station on July 4, 1959.
The station's interior, occupied by an auto parts store for years, is being renovated and is partially occupied by a periodontist's office. It is not used as a passenger waiting area, although the building's eaves provide some shelter for outbound passengers.

### Renovations

Newton Highlands station has three entrances – ramps from Walnut Street and Station Avenue, and stairs from Hyde Street – all to the outbound platform. Passengers must cross the tracks to reach the inbound platform. The station formerly had low platforms and the ramps were steeper than regulations allow, making the station not fully accessible; however, portable lifts were present to provide partial accessibility.
Design for a fully accessible renovation reached 30% in October 2015. The project will make the two existing ramps accessible, add an accessible ramp from Hyde Street to the inbound platform, and raise the platforms. In 2019–20, a temporary accessible ramp and platform sections were built to make the station accessible while it was used as a terminal during track work on the line. By December 2022, design was to completed that month; the project was expected to be advertised for bidding in early 2023, with construction beginning after midyear. Design was not completed until 2023; by November 2023, the project was expected to be bid in early 2024 with construction beginning that fall.
Construction planning indicated that the project would require part of the line to be shut down for several dozen weekends, which would have been infeasible. As of December 2024, the MBTA plans to install additional crossovers on the line in 2026 to allow for single-track operations. Construction at Newton Highlands would begin in 2027. It is expected to cost $30 million.

# Carl R. Disch

Carl Robert Disch (presumed dead on May 14, 1965) was an ionospheric physicist for the National Bureau of Standards who went missing near Byrd Station, Antarctica, on May 8, 1965.

## Disappearance

Disch was stationed at the radio noise building of Byrd Station to work on his ionospheric studies. On the morning of May 8, 1965, he left the radio noise building to return to the main station complex located 2.1 km away. When Disch had not arrived at the main station within a reasonable time, a rescue party departed the station to search for him. His trail was spotted but the search party had to go back to the station for refueling. Upon their return, the trail had been covered by drifting snow and was never rediscovered. Despite exhaustive searches and measures taken to make the station more visible, including firing of flares and illuminating extra floodlights, Disch was never found.
While he was missing, temperatures dropped to −79 °F (−62 °C). The search was called off on May 14. He is presumed dead and his body has never been recovered. Memorial services were held in his hometown of Monroe, Wisconsin. He was 26 years old.

## Conspiracy

The disappearance of Disch has spawned many conspiracy theories. They are given legitimacy by an alleged message transmitted to McMurdo Station in 1971. The author of the message, claiming to be Disch, stated that he was alive. The message has been disregarded as a hoax.

## Legacy

The Disch Promontory is named in his honor.
