Wythe

A wythe is a continuous vertical section of masonry one unit in thickness. A wythe may be independent of, or interlocked with, the adjoining wythe(s). A single wythe of brick that is not structural in nature is referred to as a veneer.

A multiple-wythe masonry wall may be composed of a single type of masonry unit layered to increase its thickness and structural strength, or different masonry units chosen by function, such as an economical concrete block serving a structural purpose and a more expensive brick chosen for its appearance.

    Wythe

    The Wythe neighborhood of Hampton, Virginia, lies along the waters edge of Hampton Roads, at the end of Virginia's Lower Peninsula. Hampton settled in 1610, is the oldest continuously inhabited English-speaking city in the United States. At one time, Wythe was part of rural Elizabeth City County, one of the first eight Colonial Virginia counties, whose seat was Hampton. The Civil War Battle of the Ironclads happened right off Wythe's shores. Newport News railroads and shipyard and Hampton Seafood industries and military installations fueled growth in the Lower Peninsula from 1880 through World War II. Residential development began in Wythe in the 20th century with the streetcar and continued through the social and business heyday of the 1950s. Today it is a neighborhood of charming architecture, lovely waterside views, and a promising future as new generations take up the challenge of preserving a rich heritage.

    Helpless Dancer

    by: Who, The

    [Roger's theme]
    When a man is running from his boss
    Who hold a gun that fires "cost"
    And people die from being cold
    Or left alone because they're old
    And bombs are dropped on fighting cats
    And children's dreams are run with rats
    If you complain you disappear
    Just like the lesbians and queers
    No one can love without the grace
    Of some unseen and distant face
    And you get beaten up by blacks
    Who though they worked still got the sack
    And when your soul tells you to hide
    Your very right to die denied
    And in the battle on the streets
    You fight computers and receipts
    And when a man is trying to change
    But only causes further pain
    You realize that all along
    Something in us going wrong...
    You stop dancing.
