Necropolitan Life: Upcoming Feature

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

Douglas Clegg's Necropolitan Life

Visit DouglasClegg.comDear Reader,

Welcome to Necropolitan Life — these are weird little stories or places or curios my team and I find on the web.  I launched this in late 2009 as a “hidden” part of this site just to see if I might be able to blog consistently about it.

But I’ve decided to make it an intermittent feature into my regular website blog.

Whenever you see the logo up top (”Douglas Clegg’s Necropolitan Life” with the cool Glenn Chadbourne illustration), you’ll know it’s a day of weird stuff on my blog.

I’ll bring you stories of odd museums, the haunted or not, the scientific creepies, the stories of weirdness and the craziness of life and history.

Come back often – it’ll also make great linkage content for your Facebook, Twitter, Myspace and other social media pages.  Just click on the “Share” icon at the bottom of this note to instantly pass any Necropolitan Life news on to your friends, tweeps and followers.

If you’d like to submit a link for Necropolitan Life, just leave the link in your comment here and I’ll check it out and see if it’s right for a future Necropolitan Life moment here at DouglasClegg.com. Thank you.

Best,

NECROPOLITAN CURES: FROM THE AD VAULT

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

Dear Necropolitan Reader,

Don’t you just love advertising from a bygone era? Who knew so much coke, heroin, liquor and even chloroform was doled out to grannies and babies and those tired mothers who needed a good calming sleep?

And what about that toothache?  Rub a little coke on it, and it’ll go away fast!

Ma, my old rotted tooth feels better already!

From Pill Talk.

Be sure and go to the website for Pill Talk to see all of the old drug ads — a very funny, disturbing site.
