“The official portrait of Princess Luna Ludgate. Princess Luna reigns supreme over the kingdom of Wheaton. She is a just and fair ruler (does not kill her enemies), a smart ruler (is not distracted by silly things like feathers and ribbons), albeit a cold one (tends not to love her cat-mom as she should).

The company is Crown & Paw.”

“This is Juniper Pearl she splits her time between Spring Valley and Shaw! She is an adventure cat in training.”

“JAN 28, 1922 – Knickerbocker Storm: Washington D.C.’s biggest snowfall caused a disaster when the roof of the Knickerbocker Theatre collapsed, killing almost 100 people.”

By Prince Of Petworth

Thanks to Ron for sending the reminder (and the really good video above) about the anniversary of the tragic Knickerbocker storm disaster. The Washington Post reported:

“By the end of that day…, 98 people lay dead, crushed beneath the fallen timbers and concrete of the roof of the Knickerbocker Theatre. Structurally unsound, it had caved in under the weight of nearly two feet of snow.

Because the streets were nearly impassable, the moviegoers had mostly trudged on foot to the theater at Columbia Road and 18th Street NW. The crowd, which had been snowbound for days, was young and festive. There were many, many children.”
