Kensington Palace

Alexander John Greenslade, Stepney, London, 1885. I was born to Lord John Greenslade and Lady Mary Capelle. In my early years, me and my kin took residency in Millbank road; walking distance from both the Palace of Westminster and Buckingham Palace.

I recently told an employee of mine that The Blacklist has been fun to watch through its first two episodes of its fourth season.

storefront theaters, and vaudeville programs all flourished in the working class districts. By the late 1920s, almost every large American city showed off a new “picture palace,” an elaborately constructed movie theater. Moreover, with this transition from previous vaudeville houses and nickelodeons to the rise of these so-called picture palaces in the United States, new spaces of consumerism were forged that focused on enlightening the average spectator as movie moguls such as the notable Samuel “Roxy” Rotahfel

After the French Revolution in 1789 however, it was no longer a permanent royal residence for the government or royalty in France. It is located about 10 miles southwest of Paris, beside the settlement of Versailles. Before Louis XIV inherited it, it was little more than a hunting lodge built by Louis XIII, which he turned into a chateau. Soon however, it became one of the largest urban
