▁ 1 8 9 7 ▁in ▁Sc r anton , ▁Pennsylvania . ▁Polish ▁parish ion ers ▁founded ▁the ▁church ▁to ▁assert ▁independence ▁from ▁the ▁Catholic ▁Church ▁in ▁America . ▁The ▁split ▁was ▁in ▁re bell ion ▁from ▁the ▁church ▁leadership , ▁then ▁domin ated ▁by ▁Irish ▁ ▁and ▁German ▁cler gy , ▁and ▁lack ing ▁in ▁Polish ▁language ▁speak ers ▁and ▁Polish ▁church ▁leaders . ▁The ▁Buck town ▁campus ▁of ▁the ▁former ▁C athedral ▁of ▁All ▁Sain ts ▁still ▁stands ▁as ▁a ▁test ament ▁to ▁this ▁community ▁of ▁faith . ▁ ▁The ▁current ▁C athedral ▁and ▁C emetery ▁complex ▁on ▁the ▁city ' s ▁peri ph ery ▁by ▁Ros em ont ▁remains ▁active ▁and ▁is ▁still ▁independent ▁from ▁the ▁authority ▁of ▁the ▁Roman ▁Catholic ▁Church . ▁ ▁Poland ▁is ▁also ▁home ▁to ▁follow ers ▁of ▁Protest ant ism ▁and ▁the ▁Eastern ▁Orth odox ▁Church . ▁Small ▁groups ▁of ▁both ▁of ▁these ▁groups ▁are ▁present ▁Chicago . ▁One ▁of ▁the ▁most ▁celebrated ▁pain ters ▁of ▁religious ▁icons ▁in ▁North ▁America ▁today ▁is ▁a ▁Polish ▁American ▁Eastern ▁Orth odox ▁priest , ▁Fr . ▁The odore ▁J ure w icz , ▁who ▁single hand edly ▁painted ▁New ▁Gra č an ica ▁Mon aster y ▁in ▁Third ▁Lake , ▁Illinois , ▁over ▁the ▁span ▁of ▁three ▁years . ▁ ▁While ▁large ▁numbers ▁of ▁Jews ▁from ▁the ▁former ▁lands ▁of ▁the ▁Polish - L ith uan ian ▁Commonwealth ▁imm igr ated ▁to ▁the ▁Chicago ▁area , ▁they ▁faced ▁a ▁historical ▁traject ory ▁far ▁different ▁from ▁that ▁of ▁their
▁Christian ▁counter parts . ▁ ▁In ▁the ▁process ▁of ▁American ization , ▁many ▁Polish ▁Jews ▁in ▁Chicago ▁would ▁lose ▁their ▁identification ▁with ▁their ▁native ▁land , ▁with ▁notable ▁exceptions . ▁There ▁have ▁also ▁been ▁small ▁numbers ▁of ▁Muslim s , ▁mostly ▁Lip ka ▁Tat ars ▁origin ating ▁from ▁the ▁B iał yst ok ▁region . ▁ ▁The ▁Polish ▁presence ▁in ▁Chicago ▁today ▁ ▁Institution s ▁Chicago ▁b ills ▁itself ▁as ▁the ▁largest ▁Polish ▁city ▁outside ▁of ▁Poland ▁with ▁approximately ▁ 1 , 9 0 0 , 0 0 0 ▁people ▁of ▁Polish ▁eth nic ity ▁in ▁the ▁Chicago ▁metropol itan ▁area . ▁Chicago ' s ▁Polish ▁presence ▁is ▁felt ▁in ▁the ▁large ▁number ▁of ▁Polish ▁American ▁organizations ▁located ▁there , ▁including ▁the ▁Polish ▁Museum ▁of ▁America , ▁the ▁Polish ▁American ▁Association , ▁the ▁Polish ▁National ▁Alliance ▁and ▁the ▁Polish ▁High land ers ▁Alliance ▁of ▁North ▁America . ▁A ▁column ▁fragment ▁of ▁W aw el ▁Castle , ▁the ▁on etime ▁seat ▁of ▁Poland ' s ▁Royal ty ▁has ▁been ▁incorpor ated ▁into ▁Chicago ' s ▁land mark ▁Trib une ▁Tower ▁as ▁a ▁visual ▁t ribute ▁to ▁Chicago ' s ▁large ▁Polish ▁popul ace . ▁ ▁Culture ▁ ▁Chicago ▁also ▁has ▁a ▁th riv ing ▁Polish ▁cultural ▁scene . ▁The ▁city ▁hosts ▁the ▁Polish ▁Film ▁Festival ▁of ▁America ▁where ▁various ▁Polish ▁films ▁are ▁screen ed ▁during ▁the ▁week long ▁festival ▁every ▁October . ▁Polish ▁stage ▁produ ctions ▁in ▁both ▁Polish ▁and ▁English ▁are ▁regularly ▁st aged ▁at ▁numerous ▁ven ues ▁throughout ▁the ▁Chicago ▁Metropolitan ▁Area
. ▁The ▁most ▁prominent ▁ven ues ▁among ▁these ▁are ▁the ▁Ch op in ▁and ▁Gate way ▁The at res . ▁The ▁Gate way , ▁which ▁is ▁also ▁the ▁seat ▁of ▁the ▁Polish ▁Cultural ▁Center ▁in ▁Chicago ▁is ▁the ▁home ▁of ▁the ▁Pad ere w ski ▁Sym phony ▁Orchestra . ▁The ▁Li ra ▁Ens emble , ▁the ▁only ▁professional ▁performing ▁arts ▁company ▁outside ▁of ▁Poland ▁that ▁special izes ▁in ▁Polish ▁music , ▁song , ▁and ▁dance ▁is ▁Art ist - in - Res idence ▁at ▁Lo y ola ▁University ▁Chicago . ▁ ▁Chicago ▁celebr ates ▁its ▁Polish ▁Heritage ▁every ▁Labor ▁Day ▁week end ▁at ▁the ▁T aste ▁of ▁Pol onia ▁Festival ▁in ▁Jefferson ▁Park , ▁attended ▁by ▁such ▁political ▁not ables ▁as ▁President ▁George ▁H . ▁W . ▁Bush , ▁Dick ▁Chen ey , ▁New t ▁G ing rich , ▁Had ass ah ▁Lie ber man , ▁Congress w oman ▁Mel issa ▁Be an , ▁and ▁Ti pper ▁G ore . ▁Illinois , ▁due ▁to ▁the ▁influence ▁of ▁this ▁large ▁population , ▁is ▁also ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁few ▁states ▁that ▁celebr ates ▁Cas imir ▁Pul ask i ▁Day . ▁Some ▁schools ▁and ▁government ▁services ▁in ▁the ▁met ro ▁area ▁are ▁closed ▁for ▁the ▁hol iday . The ▁Al man ac ▁of ▁American ▁Polit ics ▁ 2 0 0 4 ▁states ▁that ▁" E ven ▁today , ▁in ▁Arch er ▁He ights ▁[ a ▁neighborhood ▁of ▁Chicago ], ▁you ▁can ▁scarcely ▁go ▁a ▁block ▁without ▁hearing ▁someone ▁speaking ▁Polish ". ▁This ▁may ▁be ▁an ach
ron istic ▁because , ▁although ▁once ▁true , ▁today ▁the ▁Arch er ▁He ights ▁neighborhood ▁is ▁pre domin ately ▁Mexican - American ▁and ▁Mexican , ▁with ▁many ▁of ▁the ▁Polish ▁former ▁residents ▁having ▁died ▁or ▁moved ▁to ▁the ▁sub ur bs . ▁ ▁This ▁is ▁reflected ▁in ▁many ▁of ▁the ▁business es ▁which ▁served ▁the ▁Polish ▁community ▁having ▁been ▁replaced ▁with ▁business es ▁which ▁serve ▁the ▁Mexican ▁community . ▁ ▁Polish - language ▁business ▁signs , ▁once ▁u bi quit ous ▁in ▁Arch er ▁He ights , ▁are ▁now ▁quite ▁rare , ▁while ▁Spanish - language ▁signs ▁are ▁seen ▁on ▁many ▁business es ▁in ▁the ▁area . ▁ ▁Much ▁of ▁ 1 9 5 0 s ▁Chicago ▁Polish ▁youth ▁culture ▁was ▁captured ▁in ▁the ▁ 1 9 7 2 ▁musical ▁Gre ase , ▁in ▁which ▁the ▁majority ▁of ▁characters ▁had ▁Polish ▁s urn ames ▁( Z uk o , ▁D umb row ski , ▁Ken ick ie ); ▁Jim ▁Jacob s , ▁who ▁conce ived ▁Gre ase , ▁based ▁the ▁musical ▁on ▁his ▁real - life ▁experiences ▁in ▁a ▁Chicago ▁high ▁school . ▁Much ▁of ▁the ▁Polish - American ▁nature ▁of ▁the ▁musical ▁was ▁disc arded ▁when ▁Gre ase ▁was ▁made ▁into ▁a ▁feature ▁film ▁in ▁ 1 9 7 8 , ▁casting ▁non - Pol ish ▁actors ▁in ▁the ▁lead ▁roles , ▁and ▁subsequent ▁produ ctions ▁have ▁also ▁followed ▁the ▁film ' s ▁lead ▁in ▁ton ing ▁down ▁the ▁Chicago ▁Polish ▁influ ences . ▁ ▁P og lish ▁ ▁Some ▁ ▁of

▁pay roll , ▁and ▁had ▁created ▁and ▁issued ▁over ▁ 6 , 0 0 0 ▁of ▁its ▁own ▁credit ▁cards . ▁ ▁By ▁ 1 9 7 0 ▁the ▁company ▁had ▁expanded ▁into ▁Rh ode ▁Island , ▁Connecticut , ▁and ▁New ▁York ▁and ▁was ▁experien cing ▁record ▁ear nings ▁growth . ▁The ▁success ▁of ▁the ▁company ▁attract ed ▁a ▁buy out ▁offer ▁from ▁the ▁Campbell ▁S oup ▁Company . ▁At ▁the ▁time ▁of ▁the ▁offer , ▁Valle ' s ▁was ▁operating ▁ 1 2 ▁restaur ants ▁in ▁Maine , ▁Massachusetts , ▁Rh ode ▁Island , ▁Connecticut , ▁and ▁New ▁York ▁and ▁had ▁five ▁additional ▁restaur ants ▁being ▁developed . ▁For ▁the ▁financial ▁period ▁ending ▁on ▁March ▁ 3 1 , ▁ 1 9 7 0 , ▁Valle ' s ▁had ▁n ett ed ▁$ 1 , 4 4 8 , 0 0 0 ▁on ▁sales ▁of ▁$ 1 9 , 2 0 0 , 0 0 0 . ▁Campbell ▁offered ▁to ▁purchase ▁all ▁of ▁the ▁company ' s ▁assets ▁and ▁assume ▁its ▁li abilities ▁for ▁$ 3 8 , 9 0 0 , 0 0 0 . ▁Several ▁months ▁after ▁the ▁offer , ▁negoti ations ▁col lapsed . ▁In ▁the ▁w ake ▁of ▁the ▁collapse , ▁Donald ▁Valle ▁stated ▁that ▁the ▁level ▁of ▁control ▁demanded ▁by ▁Campbell ▁would ▁have ▁been ▁det r iment al ▁to ▁the ▁continued ▁success ▁of ▁the ▁chain . ▁ ▁In ▁ 1 9 7 2 , ▁the ▁company ▁had ▁begun ▁construction ▁on ▁two ▁additional ▁ste ak ▁houses ▁in ▁the
▁Washington , ▁D . C . ▁area , ▁plus ▁another ▁restaurant ▁in ▁Atlanta . ▁Pl ans ▁for ▁restaur ants ▁in ▁Y onk ers , ▁Philadelphia , ▁Fort ▁La ud erd ale , ▁and ▁Day ton a ▁Beach ▁had ▁been ▁approved ▁and ▁construction ▁was ▁sl ated ▁to ▁begin ▁in ▁ 1 9 7 3 . ▁Valle ' s ▁had ▁also ▁agreed ▁to ▁sell ▁a ▁par cel ▁of ▁land ▁next ▁to ▁its ▁Hart ford ▁restaurant ▁to ▁a ▁national ▁mot el ▁chain ▁for ▁$ 3 2 5 , 0 0 0 ▁and ▁to ▁serve ▁as ▁the ▁hotel ' s ▁sole ▁ban quet , ▁l oun ge , ▁and ▁d ining ▁facility . ▁ ▁Re ven ues ▁and ▁ear nings ▁continued ▁to ▁grow ▁into ▁the ▁mid - 7 0 s ▁but ▁at ▁a ▁slower ▁rate . ▁G row ing ▁infl ation , ▁un emp loyment ▁and ▁rising ▁gas ▁prices ▁caused ▁Richard ▁Valle ▁to ▁warn ▁invest ors ▁that ▁although ▁the ▁company ▁would ▁continue ▁to ▁expand , ▁ear nings ▁would ▁not ▁be ▁able ▁to ▁maintain ▁their ▁momentum . ▁" Infl ation , ▁the ▁c aut ious ▁attitude ▁of ▁the ▁consumer , ▁and ▁the ▁energy ▁crisis ▁are ▁un cert aint ies ▁facing ▁the ▁industry ." ▁ ▁By ▁ 1 9 7 7 ▁both ▁reven ues ▁and ▁prof its ▁had ▁begun ▁to ▁decl ine . ▁ ▁Econom ic ▁challeng es , ▁decl ining ▁sales , ▁and ▁closure ▁▁ ▁Donald ▁Valle ' s ▁death ▁in ▁ 1 9 7 7 ▁s add led ▁the ▁Valle ▁family ▁with ▁an ▁estate ▁tax ▁bill ▁it
▁was ▁not ▁prepared ▁to ▁pay . ▁Com b ined ▁with ▁decl ining ▁sales ▁and ▁increasing ▁costs ▁from ▁the ▁firm ' s ▁continued ▁expansion , ▁in ▁ 1 9 8 1 ▁Richard ▁and ▁Jud ith ▁Valle ▁attempted ▁to ▁sell ▁their ▁cont rolling ▁shares ▁in ▁the ▁company ▁to ▁a ▁group ▁of ▁non - family ▁execut ives ▁and ▁private ▁invest ors ▁for ▁$ 1 7 , 5 0 0 , 0 0 0 . ▁Two ▁different ▁propos als ▁were ▁provided ▁to ▁share hold ers ▁over ▁a ▁ 2 4 - month ▁period . ▁At ▁the ▁time ▁of ▁the ▁proposed ▁sale , ▁the ▁Valle ▁family ▁and ▁its ▁trust s ▁owned ▁ 6 6 . 7 % ▁of ▁the ▁company ' s ▁ 2 . 5 ▁million ▁common ▁stock ▁shares ▁out standing . ▁The ▁company ▁was ▁operating ▁ 3 2 ▁restaur ants ▁that ▁despite ▁generating ▁$ 6 5 , 9 0 0 , 0 0 0 ▁in ▁sales , ▁had ▁lost ▁$ 5 6 9 , 0 0 0 ▁for ▁the ▁year ▁ending ▁on ▁March ▁ 3 1 , ▁ 1 9 8 1 . ▁During ▁the ▁effort ▁to ▁sell ▁their ▁shares , ▁Richard ▁Valle ▁stepped ▁aside ▁as ▁president ▁of ▁the ▁company . ▁In ▁his ▁place , ▁Arthur ▁W . ▁Hans on , ▁ 5 4 , ▁formerly ▁executive ▁vice ▁president ▁of ▁operations ▁became ▁president ▁and ▁also ▁acquired ▁the ▁newly ▁created ▁title ▁of ▁chief ▁executive ▁officer . ▁Richard ▁Valle ▁described ▁the ▁change ▁as ▁" the ▁start ▁of ▁[ a ] ▁re group ing " ▁that ▁would ▁allow ▁him
▁to ▁focus ▁on ▁the ▁firm ' s ▁long ▁term ▁strategy ▁as ▁the ▁chairman . ▁Prior ▁to ▁the ▁final ization ▁of ▁the ▁buy out , ▁Valle ' s ▁had ▁already ▁begun ▁to ▁close ▁restaur ants ▁for ▁this ▁first ▁time ▁in ▁its ▁history . ▁Among ▁those ▁that ▁were ▁closed ▁was ▁the ▁Ro chester , ▁New ▁York ▁store ▁that ▁had ▁opened ▁in ▁ 1 9 7 1 ▁and ▁had ▁never ▁turned ▁a ▁profit . ▁▁ ▁After ▁the ▁buy out , ▁the ▁chain ▁continued ▁to ▁sell ▁off ▁properties . ▁Between ▁ 1 9 8 2 ▁and ▁ 1 9 8 4 ▁the ▁company ▁sold ▁all ▁of ▁its ▁Florida ▁locations , ▁none ▁of ▁which ▁had ▁been ▁open ▁for ▁more ▁than ▁seven ▁years . ▁By ▁the ▁mid - 1 9 8 0 s ▁some ▁of ▁the ▁company ' s ▁largest ▁restaur ants ▁outside ▁of ▁Florida ▁had ▁also ▁closed ▁to ▁include ▁Fall ▁River , ▁Atlanta , ▁and ▁Miami . ▁The ▁Port land ▁restaurant ▁was ▁among ▁those ▁that ▁were ▁sold ▁in ▁ 1 9 8 3 ▁when ▁Jud ith ▁Valle , ▁using ▁funds ▁from ▁the ▁buy out , ▁purchased ▁the ▁Port land ▁Valle ' s ▁Ste ak ▁House ▁from ▁the ▁company ▁and ▁operated ▁the ▁restaurant ▁as ▁an ▁independent ▁entity . ▁Another ▁important ▁development ▁in ▁ 1 9 8 3 ▁was ▁Arthur ▁Hans on ▁creating ▁the ▁Pol ar ▁Bear ▁R estaur ant ▁Corporation ▁head qu arter ed ▁in ▁Need ham , ▁Mass ▁as ▁the ▁parent ▁corpor ation ▁of ▁the ▁remaining ▁restaur ants . ▁By ▁agreement ▁with ▁Jud ith ▁Valle , ▁she ▁was
▁allowed ▁to ▁use ▁the ▁" Val le ' s ▁Ste ak ▁House " ▁name ▁for ▁her ▁Port land ▁restaurant . ▁ ▁The ▁last ▁three ▁Valle ' s ▁Ste ak ▁House ▁restaur ants ▁operating ▁as ▁part ▁of ▁Hans on ' s ▁corpor ation ▁closed ▁on ▁Friday , ▁December ▁ 2 7 , ▁ 1 9 9 1 . ▁The ▁restaur ants ▁were ▁located ▁in ▁K itter y , ▁Maine ; ▁And over , ▁Mass ; ▁and ▁Hart ford , ▁Connecticut . ▁ ▁Jud ith ▁Valle ' s ▁restaurant ▁continued ▁operating ▁in ▁Port land ▁as ▁" Val le ' s ▁Ste ak ▁House " ▁until ▁it ▁finally ▁closed ▁its ▁doors ▁on ▁Sunday , ▁August ▁ 2 0 , ▁ 2 0 0 0 . ▁ ▁Fact ors ▁and ▁events ▁contrib uting ▁to ▁the ▁closing ▁▁ ▁A ▁number ▁of ▁reasons ▁contributed ▁to ▁the ▁decl ine ▁of ▁the ▁Valle ' s ▁Ste ak ▁House ▁chain . ▁▁▁▁▁ ▁In herit ance ▁tax es . ▁ ▁The ▁Valle ▁family ▁was ▁unable ▁to ▁pay ▁the ▁s izable ▁inheritance ▁tax es ▁lev ied ▁on ▁the ▁estate ▁of ▁Donald ▁Valle ▁when ▁he ▁died ▁in ▁ 1 9 7 7 ▁and ▁were ▁forced ▁to ▁liquid ate ▁the ▁business ▁in ▁order ▁to ▁meet ▁their ▁oblig ation ▁to ▁the ▁government . ▁ ▁In ▁a ▁June ▁ 2 0 0 0 ▁interview , ▁Jud ith ▁Valle ▁said , ▁" No ▁matter ▁how ▁much ▁business ▁we ▁did , ▁we ▁couldn ' t ▁pay ▁the ▁government . ▁We ▁couldn ' t ▁break ▁even . ▁It ▁was ▁a ▁huge
▁tax ▁bur den , ▁with ▁comp ounding ▁interest ." ▁▁ ▁Susan ▁Collins ▁( R ), ▁the ▁U . S . ▁Senator ▁from ▁Maine ▁subsequently ▁used ▁Valle ' s ▁Ste ak ▁House ▁as ▁an ▁example ▁of ▁the ▁ad verse ▁effects ▁of ▁federal ▁tax ▁policies ▁and ▁argued ▁for ▁re vised ▁federal ▁laws ▁that ▁e ased ▁the ▁bur den ▁of ▁estate ▁tax es , ▁especially ▁on ▁family ▁owned ▁business es . ▁▁▁▁ ▁Econom ic ▁tur bul ence . ▁The ▁gas ▁crisis , ▁so aring ▁infl ation , ▁and ▁rising ▁labor ▁costs ▁batter ed ▁the ▁chain ▁from ▁the ▁mid - 7 0 s ▁through ▁the ▁ 1 9 8 0 s . ▁Other ▁companies ▁in ▁the ▁restaurant ▁industry , ▁particularly ▁those ▁in ▁a ▁similar ▁price ▁n iche ▁to ▁Valle ' s , ▁also ▁suffered ▁from ▁decl ining ▁sales . ▁In ▁a ▁July ▁ 1 9 8 0 ▁interview ▁with ▁the ▁Boston ▁Glo be , ▁Richard ▁Valle ▁said ▁" The ▁gu y ▁who ▁went ▁out ▁twice ▁a ▁week ▁now ▁goes ▁out ▁once , ▁and ▁the ▁retired ▁senior ▁citiz en , ▁a ▁large ▁proportion ▁of ▁the ▁business , ▁tr ades ▁down ▁in ▁the ▁items ▁he ▁orders ." ▁ ▁Valle ▁also ▁c ited ▁the ▁steady ▁increases ▁in ▁the ▁minimum ▁w age ▁as ▁having ▁a ▁"... ▁a ▁r ipp le ▁effect . ▁If ▁you ▁pay ▁your ▁kitchen ▁men ▁$ 3 . 1 0 , ▁you ▁have ▁to ▁give ▁your ▁cook s ▁more ▁money , ▁the ▁chef , ▁the ▁meat ▁cut ter , ▁the ▁b aker , ▁the ▁host ess , ▁the
▁c ash ier ." ▁R ising ▁labor ▁costs ▁were ▁ex ac erb ated ▁by ▁the ▁ 1 9 8 1 ▁elim ination ▁of ▁the ▁" tip ▁credit " ▁which ▁allowed ▁restaur ants ▁to ▁reduce ▁the ▁hour ly ▁w ages ▁of ▁their ▁wait ▁staff s ▁by ▁a ▁portion ▁of ▁the ▁tip . ▁As ▁a ▁result , ▁Valle ' s ▁was ▁forced ▁to ▁repeatedly ▁raise ▁prices ▁to ▁offset ▁the ▁higher ▁labor ▁costs ▁and ▁predict ably , ▁customer ▁counts ▁dropped . ▁▁ ▁Ob sole te ▁business ▁model . ▁ ▁Working ▁against ▁Valle ' s ▁attempt ▁to ▁maintain ▁its ▁reven ues ▁was ▁the ▁emphas is ▁of ▁food ▁over ▁liqu or ▁despite ▁the ▁fact ▁that ▁the ▁sale ▁of ▁alco hol ▁featured ▁higher ▁mark ups . ▁Valle ' s ▁also ▁placed ▁a ▁strong ▁emphas is ▁on ▁service ▁and ▁because ▁of ▁that ▁sh unn ed ▁the ▁self - service ▁sal ad - bar ▁concept ▁that ▁many ▁restaur ants ▁had ▁introduced ▁to ▁reduce ▁labor ▁costs . ▁As ▁energy ▁costs ▁increased , ▁Valle ' s ▁found ▁the ▁costs ▁of ▁maintain ing ▁their ▁exp ans ive ▁restaur ants ▁with ▁ban quet ▁rooms ▁that ▁se ated ▁up ▁to ▁ 1 , 0 0 0 ▁to ▁be ▁a ▁bur den . ▁ ▁" Pe ople ▁aren ' t ▁having ▁the ▁big ▁ 3 0 0 ▁to ▁ 5 0 0 ▁person ▁wed d ings ▁anymore ," ▁said ▁Richard ▁Valle ▁in ▁a ▁ 1 9 8 0 ▁interview . ▁" W ed d ings ▁are ▁now ▁more ▁like ▁ 1 0 0 ▁people ▁[ as ▁are
] ▁the ▁annual ▁Christmas ▁ban qu ets ▁that ▁se ated ▁ 5 0 0 ▁to ▁ 9 0 0 ▁or ▁the ▁big ▁ret irement ▁party ." ▁ ▁Richard ▁Valle ▁calculated ▁the ▁average ▁size ▁of ▁the ▁ 2 8 0 ▁ban qu ets ▁one ▁restaurant ▁book ed ▁in ▁ 1 9 7 9 ▁and ▁it ▁came ▁to ▁ 7 7 . 5 ▁people . ▁ ▁Support ing ▁the ▁large ▁restaur ants ▁were ▁five ▁a cre ▁par king ▁areas ▁that ▁also ▁contributed ▁to ▁the ▁company ' s ▁overhead ▁costs . ▁By ▁the ▁late ▁ 1 9 7 0 s , ▁Richard ▁Valle ▁had ▁designed ▁a ▁down - s ized ▁restaurant ▁that ▁was ▁less ▁cost ly ▁to ▁staff , ▁heat , ▁light , ▁and ▁maintain ▁and ▁would ▁need ▁only ▁two ▁and ▁a ▁half ▁acres ▁of ▁land . ▁ ▁By ▁then , ▁the ▁company ' s ▁reven ues ▁had ▁begun ▁to ▁d eter ior ate ▁and ▁Valle ▁could ▁not ▁implement ▁the ▁new ▁design . ▁ ▁Valle ' s ▁was ▁also ▁fault ed ▁for ▁the ▁straight ▁line ▁architecture ▁of ▁its ▁large ▁d ining ▁rooms ▁that ▁caused ▁some ▁critics ▁to ▁compare ▁the ▁restaurant ▁to ▁a ▁c af eter ia . ▁Other ▁critics ▁question ed ▁the ▁wisdom ▁of ▁using ▁a ▁regional ▁New ▁England ▁menu ▁in ▁southern ▁locations ▁such ▁as ▁Atlanta ▁where ▁customers ▁of ▁the ▁early ▁ 1 9 7 0 s ▁were ▁un famil iar ▁with ▁cl am ▁ch ow der , ▁b aked ▁stuff ed ▁lo bst ers , ▁and ▁New ▁England - style ▁pot ▁ro ast . ▁

▁when ▁an ▁ ▁or ▁ ▁followed ▁in ▁the ▁next ▁sy ll able ). ▁In ▁Old ▁English , ▁these ▁( except ▁, ▁which ▁had ▁been ▁mon oph th ong ized , ▁as ▁noted ▁above ) ▁developed ▁into ▁di ph th ongs ▁of ▁a ▁generally ▁less ▁common ▁type ▁in ▁which ▁both ▁elements ▁are ▁of ▁the ▁same ▁height , ▁called ▁height - harm onic ▁di ph th ongs . ▁This ▁process ▁is ▁called ▁di ph th ong ▁height ▁harm on ization . ▁Specifically : ▁▁ ▁under w ent ▁a - front ing ▁to ▁ ▁and ▁was ▁then ▁harm on ized ▁to ▁, ▁sp elled ▁e a ▁( or ▁in ▁modern ▁texts ▁ ē a ). ▁▁ ▁was ▁harm on ized ▁to ▁, ▁sp elled ▁e o ▁( or ▁in ▁modern ▁texts ▁ ē o ). ▁▁ ▁was ▁already ▁harm onic ; ▁it ▁became ▁a ▁separate ▁ph on eme ▁, ▁sp elled ▁io ▁ ▁( or ▁in ▁modern ▁texts ▁ ī o ). ▁( This ▁interpretation ▁is ▁somewhat ▁controvers ial ; ▁see ▁below .) ▁ ▁Old ▁English ▁di ph th ongs ▁also ▁arose ▁from ▁other ▁later ▁processes , ▁such ▁as ▁breaking , ▁pal atal ▁di ph th ong ization , ▁back ▁mut ation ▁and ▁i - mut ation , ▁which ▁also ▁gave ▁an ▁additional ▁di ph th ong ▁ie ▁. ▁The ▁di ph th ongs ▁could ▁occur ▁both ▁short ▁( mon ot onic ) ▁ ▁and ▁long ▁. ▁ ▁Some ▁sources ▁re construct ▁other ▁ph on etic ▁forms ▁that ▁are ▁not ▁height - harm onic ▁for ▁some
▁or ▁all ▁of ▁these ▁Old ▁English ▁di ph th ongs . ▁The ▁first ▁elements ▁of ▁ ē a , ▁ ē o , ▁ ī o ▁are ▁generally ▁accepted ▁to ▁have ▁had ▁the ▁qual ities ▁[ æ ], ▁[ e ], ▁[ i ] ▁( ev idence ▁for ▁these ▁qual ities ▁comes ▁from ▁the ▁behavior ▁of ▁breaking ▁and ▁back ▁mut ation ▁as ▁described ▁below ; ▁the ▁Middle ▁English ▁development ▁of ▁short ▁e a ▁into ▁ ▁could ▁also ▁provide ▁some ▁evidence ▁for ▁the ▁ph on etic ▁real ization ▁of ▁ ē a ). ▁However , ▁the ▁interpret ations ▁of ▁the ▁second ▁elements ▁of ▁these ▁di ph th ongs ▁are ▁more ▁varied . ▁There ▁are ▁anal ys es ▁that ▁treat ▁all ▁of ▁these ▁di ph th ongs ▁as ▁ending ▁in ▁a ▁sch wa ▁sound ▁[ ə ]; ▁i . e . ▁ ē a , ▁ ē o , ▁ ī o ▁= ▁[ æ ə ], ▁[ e ə ], ▁[ i ə ] ▁. ▁For ▁io ▁and ▁ie , ▁the ▁height - harm onic ▁interpret ations ▁ ▁and ▁ ▁are ▁controvers ial , ▁with ▁many ▁( es pecially ▁more ▁traditional ) ▁sources ▁assuming ▁that ▁the ▁pron unci ation ▁matched ▁the ▁sp elling ▁( , ▁), ▁and ▁hence ▁that ▁these ▁di ph th ongs ▁were ▁of ▁the ▁opening ▁rather ▁than ▁the ▁height - harm onic ▁type . ▁Late ▁in ▁the ▁development ▁of ▁the ▁standard ▁West ▁Sax on ▁dialect , ▁io ▁( both ▁long ▁and ▁short ) ▁merged ▁with ▁e o , ▁which ▁is ,
▁in ▁fact , ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁most ▁notice able ▁differences ▁between ▁early ▁Old ▁English ▁( c . ▁ 9 0 0 ) ▁and ▁late ▁Old ▁English ▁( c . ▁ 1 0 0 0 ). ▁ ▁Bre aking ▁and ▁retra ction ▁V owel ▁breaking ▁in ▁Old ▁English ▁is ▁the ▁di ph th ong ization ▁of ▁the ▁short ▁front ▁v ow els ▁ ▁to ▁short ▁di ph th ongs ▁ ▁when ▁followed ▁by ▁, ▁ ▁or ▁by ▁ ▁or ▁ ▁plus ▁another ▁con son ant . ▁Long ▁ ▁similarly ▁broke ▁to ▁, ▁but ▁only ▁when ▁followed ▁by ▁. ▁The ▁gem in ates ▁r r ▁and ▁ll ▁usually ▁count ▁as ▁r ▁or ▁l ▁plus ▁another ▁con son ant , ▁but ▁breaking ▁does ▁not ▁occur ▁before ▁ll ▁produced ▁by ▁West ▁German ic ▁gem ination ▁( the ▁/ i / ▁or ▁/ j / ▁in ▁the ▁following ▁sy ll able ▁prevents ▁breaking ). ▁▁ ▁were ▁lower ed ▁to ▁ ▁in ▁late ▁Old ▁English ▁( see ▁above ). ▁ ▁The ▁exact ▁conditions ▁for ▁breaking ▁vary ▁somewhat ▁depending ▁on ▁the ▁sound ▁being ▁broken : ▁ ▁Short ▁ ▁breaks ▁before ▁h , ▁r C , ▁l C , ▁where ▁C ▁is ▁any ▁con son ant . ▁Short ▁ ▁breaks ▁before ▁h , ▁r C , ▁l h , ▁l c , ▁w , ▁i . e . ▁compared ▁to ▁ ▁it ▁is ▁also ▁broken ▁before ▁w , ▁but ▁is ▁broken ▁before ▁l ▁only ▁in ▁the ▁combination ▁l h ▁and ▁sometimes ▁l c . ▁Short ▁ ▁breaks ▁before ▁h , ▁r

▁of ▁ce ald ). ▁ ▁Both ▁breaking ▁and ▁retra ction ▁are ▁fund ament ally ▁phen omena ▁of ▁assim ilation ▁to ▁a ▁following ▁vel ar ▁con son ant . ▁While ▁ ▁is ▁in ▁fact ▁a ▁vel ar ▁con son ant , ▁, ▁, ▁and ▁ ▁are ▁less ▁obviously ▁so . ▁It ▁is ▁therefore ▁assumed ▁that , ▁at ▁least ▁at ▁the ▁time ▁of ▁the ▁occurrence ▁of ▁breaking ▁and ▁retra ction ▁( se ver al ▁hundred ▁years ▁before ▁recorded ▁Old ▁English ), ▁ ▁was ▁pron ounced ▁ ▁or ▁similar ▁– ▁at ▁least ▁when ▁following ▁a ▁v owel ▁– ▁and ▁ ▁and ▁ ▁before ▁a ▁con son ant ▁had ▁a ▁vel ar ▁or ▁retro flex ▁quality ▁and ▁were ▁already ▁pron ounced ▁ ▁and ▁, ▁or ▁similar . ▁ ▁A - rest oration ▁After ▁breaking ▁occurred , ▁short ▁ ▁( and ▁in ▁some ▁dialect s ▁long ▁ ▁as ▁well ) ▁was ▁back ed ▁to ▁ ▁() ▁when ▁there ▁was ▁a ▁back ▁v owel ▁in ▁the ▁following ▁sy ll able . ▁This ▁is ▁called ▁a - rest oration , ▁because ▁it ▁partly ▁restored ▁original ▁, ▁which ▁had ▁earlier ▁been ▁front ed ▁to ▁ ▁( see ▁above ). ▁( Note : ▁The ▁situation ▁is ▁complicated ▁somewhat ▁by ▁a ▁later ▁change ▁called ▁second ▁front ing , ▁but ▁this ▁did ▁not ▁affect ▁the ▁standard ▁West ▁Sax on ▁dialect ▁of ▁Old ▁English .) ▁ ▁Because ▁strong ▁mascul ine ▁and ▁neut er ▁n oun s ▁have ▁back ▁v ow els ▁in ▁pl ural ▁end ings , ▁altern ations ▁with ▁ ▁in ▁the ▁singular ▁vs

▁- i ▁and ▁- ī , ▁respectively . ▁The ▁former ▁was ▁affected ▁by ▁high - v owel ▁loss , ▁sur f acing ▁as ▁- e ▁when ▁not ▁deleted ▁( i . e . ▁after ▁), ▁while ▁the ▁latter ▁always ▁surfaces ▁as ▁- e : ▁P G ▁ ▁> ▁W G ▁ ▁> ▁* k un ni ▁> ▁* k yn ni ▁> ▁O E ▁c yn n ▁" kin , ▁family , ▁kind "; ▁P G ▁ ▁> ▁W G ▁ ▁( West ▁German ic ▁gem ination ▁didn ' t ▁apply ▁to ▁/ r /) ▁> ▁* h ari ▁> ▁* her i ▁> ▁O E ▁here ▁" ar my "; ▁P G ▁ ▁> ▁* w ī t ī ▁> ▁O E ▁w ī te ▁" p un ishment ". ▁ ▁It ▁is ▁possible ▁that ▁loss ▁of ▁med ial ▁- j - ▁occurred ▁slightly ▁earlier ▁than ▁loss ▁of ▁- ij -, ▁and ▁in ▁particular ▁before ▁high - v owel ▁loss . ▁This ▁appears ▁to ▁be ▁necessary ▁to ▁explain ▁short ▁- j ō ▁stem ▁words ▁like ▁ny tt ▁" use ": ▁P G ▁ ▁> ▁W G ▁ ▁> ▁* ny tt ju ▁( by ▁i - mut ation ) ▁> ▁* ny tt u ▁( by ▁j - loss ) ▁> ▁O E ▁ny tt ▁( by ▁high - v owel ▁delet ion ). ▁If ▁high - v owel ▁delet ion ▁occurred ▁first , ▁the ▁result ▁would ▁pres umably ▁be ▁an ▁un att ested ▁** ny tte . ▁ ▁A ▁similar ▁loss

. ▁ ▁Dia lect s ▁ ▁Old ▁English ▁had ▁four ▁major ▁dialect ▁groups : ▁West ▁Sax on , ▁Mer cian , ▁North umb rian , ▁and ▁Kent ish . ▁West ▁Sax on ▁and ▁Kent ish ▁occurred ▁in ▁the ▁south , ▁approximately ▁to ▁the ▁south ▁of ▁the ▁River ▁Th ames . ▁Mer cian ▁constit uted ▁the ▁middle ▁section ▁of ▁the ▁country , ▁divided ▁from ▁the ▁southern ▁dialect s ▁by ▁the ▁Th ames ▁and ▁from ▁North umb rian ▁by ▁the ▁H umber ▁and ▁Mer sey ▁rivers . ▁North umb rian ▁en comp ass ed ▁the ▁area ▁between ▁the ▁H umber ▁and ▁the ▁F irth ▁of ▁For th ▁( including ▁what ▁is ▁now ▁sout he astern ▁Scotland ▁but ▁was ▁once ▁part ▁of ▁the ▁Kingdom ▁of ▁North umb ria ). ▁In ▁the ▁south , ▁the ▁eastern most ▁portion ▁was ▁Kent ish ▁and ▁everywhere ▁else ▁was ▁West ▁Sax on . ▁Mer cian ▁and ▁North umb rian ▁are ▁often ▁grouped ▁together ▁as ▁" Ang li an ". ▁ ▁The ▁biggest ▁differences ▁occurred ▁between ▁West ▁Sax on ▁and ▁the ▁other ▁groups . ▁The ▁differences ▁occurred ▁mostly ▁in ▁the ▁front ▁v ow els , ▁and ▁particularly ▁the ▁di ph th ongs . ▁( However , ▁North umb rian ▁was ▁distinguished ▁from ▁the ▁rest ▁by ▁much ▁less ▁pal atal ization . ▁Form s ▁in ▁Modern ▁English ▁with ▁hard ▁ ▁and ▁ ▁where ▁a ▁pal atal ized ▁sound ▁would ▁be ▁expected ▁from ▁Old ▁English ▁are ▁due ▁either ▁to ▁North umb rian ▁influence ▁or ▁to ▁direct ▁borrow ing ▁from ▁Sc and in av ian
. ▁Note ▁that , ▁in ▁fact , ▁the ▁lack ▁of ▁pal atal ization ▁in ▁North umb rian ▁was ▁probably ▁due ▁to ▁heavy ▁Sc and in av ian ▁influence .) ▁ ▁The ▁early ▁history ▁of ▁Kent ish ▁was ▁similar ▁to ▁Ang li an , ▁but ▁som etime ▁around ▁the ▁nin th ▁century ▁all ▁of ▁the ▁front ▁v ow els ▁ æ , ▁e , ▁y ▁( long ▁and ▁short ) ▁merged ▁into ▁e ▁( long ▁and ▁short ). ▁The ▁further ▁discussion ▁concerns ▁the ▁differences ▁between ▁Ang li an ▁and ▁West ▁Sax on , ▁with ▁the ▁understanding ▁that ▁Kent ish , ▁other ▁than ▁where ▁noted , ▁can ▁be ▁derived ▁from ▁Ang li an ▁by ▁front - v owel ▁mer ger . ▁The ▁primary ▁differences ▁were : ▁Original ▁( post ▁Ang lo - F ris ian ▁bright ening ) ▁ <0xC7> <0xA3> ▁was ▁raised ▁to ▁ ē ▁in ▁Ang li an ▁but ▁remained ▁in ▁West ▁Sax on . ▁This ▁occurred ▁before ▁other ▁changes ▁such ▁as ▁breaking , ▁and ▁did ▁not ▁affect ▁ <0xC7> <0xA3> ▁caused ▁by ▁i - um la ut ▁of ▁ ā . ▁Hence , ▁e . g ., ▁d <0xC7> <0xA3> lan ▁" to ▁divide " ▁< ▁* d ail ij an ▁appears ▁the ▁same ▁in ▁both ▁dialect s , ▁but ▁West ▁Sax on ▁sl <0xC7> <0xA3> pan ▁" to ▁sleep " ▁appears ▁as ▁sl ē pan ▁in ▁Ang li an . ▁( Note ▁the ▁corresponding ▁v owel ▁difference ▁in ▁the ▁sp elling ▁of ▁" de al " ▁< ▁d <0xC7> <0xA3> lan
▁vs . ▁" sleep " ▁< ▁Ang li an ▁sl ē pan .) ▁The ▁West ▁Sax on ▁v ow els ▁ie / ī e , ▁caused ▁by ▁i - um la ut ▁of ▁long ▁and ▁short ▁e a , ▁e o , ▁io , ▁did ▁not ▁appear ▁in ▁Ang li an . ▁Instead , ▁i - um la ut ▁of ▁e a ▁and ▁rare ▁e o ▁is ▁sp elled ▁e , ▁and ▁i - um la ut ▁of ▁io ▁remains ▁as ▁io . ▁Bre aking ▁of ▁short ▁ ▁to ▁e a ▁did ▁not ▁happen ▁in ▁Ang li an ▁before ▁ ▁and ▁a ▁con son ant ; ▁instead , ▁the ▁v owel ▁was ▁ret ract ed ▁to ▁. ▁When ▁mut ated ▁by ▁i - um la ut , ▁it ▁appears ▁again ▁as ▁ æ ▁( vs . ▁West ▁Sax on ▁ie ). ▁Hence , ▁Ang li an ▁cal d ▁" c old " ▁vs . ▁West ▁Sax on ▁ ċ e ald . ▁Mer ger ▁of ▁e o ▁and ▁io ▁( long ▁and ▁short ) ▁occurred ▁early ▁in ▁West ▁Sax on , ▁but ▁much ▁later ▁in ▁Ang li an . ▁Many ▁instances ▁of ▁di ph th ongs ▁in ▁Ang li an , ▁including ▁the ▁majority ▁of ▁cases ▁caused ▁by ▁breaking , ▁were ▁turned ▁back ▁into ▁mon oph th ongs ▁again ▁by ▁the ▁process ▁of ▁" Ang li an ▁sm o othing ", ▁which ▁occurred ▁before ▁c , ▁h , ▁g , ▁alone ▁or ▁preced ed ▁by ▁r ▁or ▁l . ▁This ▁accounts ▁for ▁some
▁of ▁the ▁most ▁notice able ▁differences ▁between ▁standard ▁( i . e . ▁West ▁Sax on ) ▁Old ▁English ▁and ▁Modern ▁English ▁sp elling . ▁E . g . ▁ ē age ▁" ey e " ▁became ▁ ē ge ▁in ▁Ang li an ; ▁n ē ah ▁" near " ▁became ▁Ang li an ▁n ē h , ▁later ▁raised ▁to ▁n ī h ▁in ▁the ▁transition ▁to ▁Middle ▁English ▁by ▁raising ▁of ▁ ē ▁before ▁h ▁( h ence ▁" n igh " ▁in ▁Modern ▁English ); ▁n ē ah st ▁" near est " ▁become ▁Ang li an ▁n ē h st , ▁short ened ▁to ▁ne h st ▁in ▁late ▁Old ▁English ▁by ▁v owel - short ening ▁before ▁three ▁con son ants ▁( h ence ▁" next " ▁in ▁Modern ▁English ). ▁ ▁As ▁mentioned ▁above , ▁Modern ▁English ▁der ives ▁mostly ▁from ▁the ▁Ang li an ▁dialect ▁rather ▁than ▁the ▁standard ▁West ▁Sax on ▁dialect ▁of ▁Old ▁English . ▁However , ▁since ▁London ▁s its ▁on ▁the ▁Th ames ▁near ▁the ▁boundary ▁of ▁the ▁Ang li an , ▁West ▁Sax on , ▁and ▁Kent ish ▁dialect s , ▁some ▁West ▁Sax on ▁and ▁Kent ish ▁forms ▁have ▁entered ▁Modern ▁English . ▁For ▁example , ▁" bury " ▁has ▁its ▁sp elling ▁derived ▁from ▁West ▁Sax on ▁and ▁its ▁pron unci ation ▁from ▁Kent ish ▁( see ▁below ). ▁ ▁The ▁North umb rian ▁dialect , ▁which ▁was ▁spoken ▁as ▁far ▁north ▁as ▁Edinburgh , ▁surv ives ▁as
▁the ▁Sc ots ▁language ▁spoken ▁in ▁Scotland ▁and ▁parts ▁of ▁Northern ▁Ireland . ▁The ▁distingu ishing ▁feature ▁of ▁North umb rian , ▁the ▁lack ▁of ▁pal atal ization ▁of ▁vel ars , ▁is ▁still ▁evident ▁in ▁double ts ▁between ▁Sc ots ▁and ▁Modern ▁English ▁such ▁as ▁k irk ▁/ ▁" ch urch ", ▁brig ▁/ ▁" bridge ", ▁k ist ▁/ ▁" ch est ", ▁ye uk ▁/ ▁" itch " ▁( O E ▁ ġ y ċ ċ an ▁< ▁P G mc ▁j uk jan ą ). ▁( However , ▁most ▁of ▁the ▁ph on etic ▁differences ▁between ▁Sc ots ▁and ▁Modern ▁English ▁post date ▁the ▁Old ▁English ▁period : ▁see ▁Ph on ological ▁history ▁of ▁Sc ots ▁for ▁more ▁details .) ▁ ▁Sum mary ▁of ▁v owel ▁develop ments ▁ ▁Ch anges ▁leading ▁up ▁to ▁Middle ▁and ▁Modern ▁English ▁For ▁a ▁detailed ▁description ▁of ▁the ▁changes ▁between ▁Old ▁English ▁and ▁Middle / Mod ern ▁English , ▁see ▁the ▁article ▁on ▁the ▁ph on ological ▁history ▁of ▁English . ▁A ▁summary ▁of ▁the ▁main ▁v owel ▁changes ▁is ▁presented ▁below . ▁Note ▁that ▁the ▁sp elling ▁of ▁Modern ▁English ▁largely ▁reflect s ▁Middle ▁English ▁pron unci ation . ▁Note ▁also ▁that ▁this ▁table ▁presents ▁only ▁the ▁general ▁develop ments . ▁Many ▁exception al ▁out comes ▁occurred ▁in ▁particular ▁environments , ▁e . g . ▁v ow els ▁were ▁often ▁length ened ▁in ▁late ▁Old ▁English ▁before ▁; ▁v ow els ▁changed ▁in ▁complex ▁ways ▁before ▁, ▁throughout ▁the ▁history ▁of ▁English
; ▁v ow els ▁were ▁di ph th ong ized ▁in ▁Middle ▁English ▁before ▁; ▁new ▁di ph th ongs ▁arose ▁in ▁Middle ▁English ▁by ▁the ▁combination ▁of ▁v ow els ▁with ▁Old ▁English ▁w , ▁g ▁ ▁> ▁, ▁and ▁ ġ ▁; ▁etc . ▁The ▁only ▁conditional ▁development ▁considered ▁in ▁detail ▁below ▁is ▁Middle ▁English ▁open - s yll able ▁length ening . ▁Note ▁that , ▁in ▁the ▁column ▁on ▁modern ▁sp elling , ▁CV ▁means ▁a ▁sequence ▁of ▁a ▁single ▁con son ant ▁followed ▁by ▁a ▁v owel . ▁ ▁Note ▁that ▁the ▁Modern ▁English ▁v owel ▁usually ▁sp elled ▁au ▁( B rit ish ▁, ▁American ▁) ▁does ▁not ▁appear ▁in ▁the ▁above ▁chart . ▁Its ▁main ▁source ▁is ▁late ▁Middle ▁English ▁/ au /, ▁which ▁come ▁from ▁various ▁sources : ▁Old ▁English ▁aw ▁and ▁ag ▁(" c law " ▁< ▁cla w u , ▁" law " ▁< ▁l agu ); ▁di ph th ong ization ▁before ▁ ▁(" s ought " ▁< ▁s ō h te , ▁" t aught " ▁< ▁t ā h te , ▁" d augh ter " ▁< ▁do ht or ); ▁borrow ings ▁from ▁Latin ▁and ▁French ▁(" fa wn " ▁< ▁Old ▁French ▁fa une , ▁" Paul " ▁< ▁Latin ▁Paul us ). ▁Other ▁sources ▁are ▁Early ▁Modern ▁English ▁length ening ▁of ▁ ▁before ▁ ▁(" s alt , ▁all "); ▁occas ional ▁short ening ▁and ▁later ▁re - length ening ▁of ▁Middle ▁English ▁ ▁(" bro ad "
