## Resource

A century ago, headlines pulsed with drama: a deadly train wreck, a whiskey farm scandal, and Mrs. Huntington’s jaw-dropping $1 million jewel estate. Meanwhile, crowds flocked to grotto events—some even calling it a “gay parade”—showing how entertainment drew masses. But beneath the glitter and chaos, a quieter shift was happening: heat waves, once shrugged off, are now recognized as deadly threats. This episode dives into a wild, glamorous, and surprisingly relevant slice of 1926 America. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
