× The Austin s Restaurant entrance at 23 Second St. SW in Rochester. (Courtesy of the History Center of Olmsted County) In 1934, the 73-year-old International Order of Odd Fellows building was renovated with a new brick veneer and decorative work. Inside walls were removed, creating one L-shaped space with two doors on two different streets. When Raymond and Alice Austin purchased the Seville Café in 1936, they embraced the idea of the two entrances by creating two completely different facades for their restaurant. With tongue in cheek, they advertised Austin’s Restaurant at 23 Second St. SW and Austins at 118 First Ave. SW. After the Austins left in 1941, the landlord built a new interior wall with the Green Parrot Café on the Second Street Southwest side, and Otarion of Rochester, a hearing aid business, on First Avenue Southwest.

The camera as a “revolutionary tool”: Joan. E. Biren on unifying lesbians in their struggle for freedom In 1971, JEB began photographing lesbians, building a crucial body of work that now stands at 64,400 images.

The 20-minute standard press chat ran well over an hour as she took me on a journey through the highs and lows of a life fiercely dedicated to art and activism. There were laughs (JEB has extraordinary sharp wit) and there were tears (hers and mine) as we exchanged our own experiences as queer women in different decades. I knew five minutes in this would be a conversation I would never forget. ....
When did the idea for Quarantune form? Niamh O’Connor: Back in March, Just as things were beginning to get scary and seemingly out of control with the virus, I moved back to my family home in Dublin, having lived in London for almost six years. I had been working as a club booker, writer, DJ and ‘events person’ (everything from artist liaison, to door/guestlist to managing an event itself) and after a few days at home, I began to wonder about the friends, colleagues and personal connections I made over the last three years working in music. Would I see these people again? I wasn’t sure at all but I thought it would be a fun way to stay in touch by asking them to share a resonating, music-related photo and to have a chat about how they were dealing with the knock-on effects of COVID that were beginning to unfold at the time. ....
