WELCOME TO THE GRANGE
Bringing together a lively mix of great minds — from sociologists to constitutional scholars to semi-professional drinkers – The Grange Hall wants to bring back the personal perspective on the world around us. To shed light and open minds by exploring what is relevant to us.
No fake news, no boring reviews, no snark, The Grange Hall puts a modern spin on an old theme. We offer a conversation, but a new kind of discourse that takes full advantage of the Internet, with interesting links and multimedia features that fully illuminate the connections and intersections between art, politics, social trends and our lives — that is, we get personal.
Each week we will provide a kaleidoscope of different subjects, all from a personal point of view. Everything from WORD (the creation of a mind map on a single word), to Black Out (tales of drunken debauchery), to Notes From the Underground (a look at emerging subcultures).
As the world around us becomes ever more complicated, how do we figure out what is relevant to us?
At last, The Grange Hall begins the conversation.
