‘Philadelphia Story’ in Dublin

William Smith: “ ‘Philadelphia Story’ is the story of the relationship that I’ve shared with the City of Philadelphia over the past years. While Philadelphia Story  is at its heart an exploration of place, the photo series has a heavy focus on the relationship between the subjects of my photos and their environments. This relationship is central to my work, and creates a mood in these images that transcends the notion of a specific geographic place. Philadelphia’s worn pavement, ornate architectural structures and historic monuments serve only as a background to this exploration.”

Irish whiskey enjoys a boom in American bars

Walk into a bar in Scotland and mention that the Irish invented whiskey, and you’ll be leaving on a stretcher, and right quick. Conversely, walk into a pub in Ireland, make a fleeting comment about the Scots being the ones who invented whiskey, and you may be hit with a bar stool before you even finish talking.

While the history of exactly who invented whiskey is in much debate, with no sign of any resolution, there is one thing that is not in question: The sales of Irish Whiskey in the United States have been soaring. According to the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States, sales of Irish Whiskey have seen more than 900% growth over the past 15 years, with sales of nearly 4.7 million cases being sold in 2018, generating just over $1 billion for distillers.
