The big picture: In that spirit, let me tell you a story: I attended my friend, rapper Frost Gio 's open-mic show at The Grape in Manayunk over the weekend. While there, I gazed up at the bar rafters and saw a yellow plushie gazing back at me. At first, I thought it was a guitar pick playing the guitar. Very meta. Then I thought, no, wait, it's Split, the Savannah Bananas mascot. Zoom in: Stumped, my reporter instincts kicked in. So I asked the bartender.

November 10th is a date that will forever be remembered in Great Lakes history. It's the anniversary of the sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald, the massive freighter that disappeared beneath the icy waters of Lake Superior during a powerful storm in 1975. The disaster claimed the lives of all 29 crew members aboard, and thanks to Gordon Lightfoot, the story has been preserved in one of the most recognizable songs in rock history.
