BZZZP: this is what i love about symbols on old things. we here have nothing like that level of random history, or very very rarely. ... and nothing at all that could be that old. thanks for that link... lead to some good g'ing about the crossbones graveyard in southwark. not wearing glasses,...

in response to victoria park bench

elaine: shame, i liked the idea of it tiny, and the wooden style top rim could really be ply if it was small - could there even be such a thing as bonsai palms?

in response to Parking Lot, Downtown LV

elaine: careful now, they got you hooked - before you know it they'll reel you in, and before very long you will be at home minding your own business, and you will find that you can't move for betty boop (possibly furry?)

BZZZP: nah it's the side of a building opposite "blue angel inn" ... stucco, i expect, like everything in vegas.

Bleeagh: When I was a kid, there were long stretches of gorgeous blonde sand nuzzling the pale grey and deep blue skirts of Lake Michigan. These days, the sand is rough and the waters turgid. Some sort of invasive algae coats the lake bottom near shore, where it dies and rots....

elaine: found it! it is hrealdic and symbolises the london borough of southwark, just across the river from the city. long way from home! I'm surprised viccy park got it... how bizarre. st george has a lovely cathedral there, in the shadow of the railways, under which is borough market -...

in response to victoria park bench

elaine: 1) no, much much cheaper, but quite trendy wendy i think - diesel 2) bloody good question. not to do with the park itself i think, but something to do with london bridge, and most probably the 'city' - the original city, and now financial district. i will try a search,...

in response to victoria park bench

in response to New Pet Bird Stickers?

GGP: So glad to see this. Makes me feel like home. I had a really spooky thought the other day while walking in the woods: what if, while walking in the woods one day, I came upon a Pet Bird sticker on a tree?
