Living next to KDCA. Nice neighbors though sometimes loud.

I don't own a car. I do own a bike. Does that make me an avid bicyclist? Beats me.

Cat in picture isn't mine. He was just inspecting my bike.

My view of part of it...

I might need to take some long bike rides. 😄

Still from the end of Cabaret showing a dejected and disgusted old man. He's reacting to a Nazi celebration.

Ah, the modernized one.

Here's an earlier one
Sign for the "MASS. PIKE" with the image of a tall hat with buckler (a Pilgrim hat) being pierced by an arrow. Pieces of the hat are flying from the arrow's exit hole.

Just walked along there and saw: car parked by a no stopping, standing, parking sign; bikes needing sidewalk; bus blocking bikes; three cars parked in north travel lane. As pictured.

I could rant more, but I shan't.
Car parked in the right lane of northbound Crystal Dr next to a "No standing, parking or stopping anytime" sign. Adult and child safely riding bikes on the sidewalk along Crystal Dr northbound as there isn't a safe bike lane. Bus parked blocking bike lane on Crystal Dr southbound. Three cars parked in the right lane of northbound Crystal Dr. The rearmost has its warning flashers on.

But it's doing the job of getting "good faith" doubts out there. Even the [liberal] New York Times concedes, says Fox News.

Yes. Photo I took in Vienna a few years ago showing this. It caught my eye too.

The former Union Station in Providence, Rhode Island and some ancillary buildings.
A yellow brick building with a center arch entrance. Panorama of a yellow brick building with a center arch entrance. Some ancillary buildings flank it. A yellow brick building that is ancillary to the station. Away from the front the brickwork is replaced by smooth surfaces. A Courtyard hotel at the top of a driveway. The driveway is flanked by some buildings that were ancillary to the main station. They all have yellow brick facades. The style of the hotel is close to that of the older buildings.

Ha! Reminds me of the original tombstone in the Alhambra for Queen Isabel of Spain (before the Royal Chapel was built). Carver ran out of space and doubled the 2 letters of Desde (at the the of the 5th line).
