OT: Culture Barista Blog??

[ChicagoGG]

I was surfing around the blogs today, and found that Ally Auriemma's Culture Barista blog had disappeared. I always enjoy her writing. Anybody know if it just moved or if it is "on hiatus"? Thanks!

I clicked on my bookmark and found a disappeared blog, too! But here's a link: http://thecuriousallycat.blogspot.com/2013/08/a-brief-history-of-my-experiences-with.html?m=1
She had another blog at another address, which I'll look for. I do enjoy her writing, too.

Ally from what I understand is now a Professor in the English Dept at UConn and because of that may no longer have a blog. At times Ally got a lot of grief about some of her blog entries and I wouldn't be surprised if she gave it up because of it.

Except for the fact her other blog is still going.

And a very Ally blog it is,too. Follow Samantha Brown's link above to find it.

Thanks to the person who fixed my typo in the original header!!

On the south side of Chicago years ago, we called out Ally, Ally Out and Free, but that may have been "regional differences" . How about "That's Ally She Wrote..."

You're welcome.


Do you think Ms. Auriemma's blog should be entitled Ally, Ally, in Free? Or Ally, Ally Oxen Free-O? (That's what we called out in my neighborhood. But then, we weren't a verbally meticulous bunch.)

I haven't heard that call in many-a-year; associated with Ring-a-Levio in the North Bronx, circa:1947-55.
Is that the neighborhood of which you speak?

I've heard both, ally, ally, oxen free when I was a kid, and ally, ally in free when I was older. Whose song ended with that--Peter, Paul and Mary? The Kingston Trio?

I thought it was Olly olly oxen free.
