Istoria Parkour

author: EXElent : Romania

Parkour este foarte simplu deplasarea fluida de la un punc A catre un punct B. Tot ceea ce opreste miscarea si nu adauga viteza sau eficienta miscarii nu este considerat parkour. Parkour mai este cunoscut si ca "arta miscarii" (l'art du deplacement) deoarece fiecare miscare trebuie sa fie gratioasa, sa existe un echilibru intre elemente iar traseul pe care il faci este o alegere personala in care poti sa iti exerciti toata creativitatea, abilitatea de improvizatie modul in care te misti fiind o expresie a starii tale interioare; astfel parkour este si o modalitate de exprimare ca nici o alta. In 2003...

Abandoned General Motors Plant

author: Peter : Sleepy Hollow, NY

Sleepy Hollow was once the site of a massive General Motors plant. The corporation abandoned the plant in 1996, and the town is still grappling with how best to develop the riverfront tract where the plant once stood... The abandoned plant site is located just north of the Tappan Zee bridge, visible here in sunset. www.sleepyhollowny.org/shgeneralmotors.htm www.state.ny.us/governor/press/y . . . ress/year02/sept24_02.htm www.nylcv.org/ecopolitics/waterfront.htm

Beware: Perv Alert!

author: friendly_chic407 : New York, NY

This happened to me today right after an interview I had. Luckily I landed the job so I was in a pretty defiant mood. I was riding on the R train uptown at 3pm on Friday August 18th when a man exposed and began molesting himself on the train. It was at the very end of the train but it wasn't completely empty. A japanese couple sat on the other side and the man was sitting adjacent to me. I was minding my own business, taking the train to work as usual when this man got on the car and kept...

The London Necropolis Railway

author: TBCS : London, UK

The surviving entrance to the private station at 121 Westminster Bridge Road During the first half of the 19th century, London's population more than doubled and the number of London corpses requiring disposal was growing almost as fast. Cemetery space in the city had failed to keep pace with this growth, and so the vast new Brookwood Cemetery - the London Necropolis - was built in Surrey.

Quaker Cemetery, Prospect Park

author: Peter : Brooklyn, NY

"...Near the park entrance at Prospect Park Southwest and 16th Street along Center Drive you will find a cemetery that was established by the Society of Friends before Prospect Park was built. The cemetery was originally loacted between 11th and 12th Avenue and 9th and 14th Streets, which were demapped in 1866; by agreement, the Society retained the southern two-fifths of the burial ground. Burials here date as far back as the 1820s. The park was simply built around the cemetery and no trace now remains of the cross streets that surrounded it. Actor Montgomery Clift (1920-1966) is buried here. Clift,...
