This Saturday at #FlowerPiano, I am delighted to return to the Moon Viewing Garden to share some beautiful music by Johann Sebastian Bach, in honor of the maestro's 340th birthday earlier this year. If you happen to be at the SF Botanical Garden this Saturday Sept. 20 at 4:00 p.m., please drop by!

Hagan Scotten's resignation from S.D.N.Y. refusing Emil Bove's corrupt, illegal, unethical demand that a motion be filed to seek dismissal (without prejudice, so that Trump can reserve the right to later refile and continue to maintain leverage) of the Eric Adams indictment.
"[A]ny assistant U.S. attorney would know that our laws and traditions do not allow using the prosecutorial power to influence other citizens, much less elected officials, in this way. If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me."

Today, the San Francisco Municipal Railway (@sfmta_muni) joins Bilbo Baggins in the small club of those who can celebrate their “eleventy-first birthday” (as Bilbo termed it). Unlike Bilbo, Muni managed to reach this milestone without the life-prolonging... www.instagram.com/p/C1aeDvnyOjV/

Today, the HistoricNYC account on Instagram posted a stunning photo from the top of the Flatiron Bldg., showing old streetcar tracks that ran in front of it. I posted an excerpt from my map-in-progress and offered a brief history of these streetcar lines. www.instagram.com/p/CyhN4E0PTLP/
On the left is an aerial image of an historic street from the top of the Flatiron Building in Manhattan, New York, showing streetcar tracks that existed at the time the photo was taken in 1909. At the right is an excerpt from a modern-style transit map from the same perspective showing the streetcar services that operated on those tracks.
