Almost certainly a National but I'll confirm that when I have a chance. Saint Charles Rock Rd., St. Louis.

Grooviest union hall ever

Haven't been there since 1997. It's still pretty damn good…

The real bonus is that they still have them in open stacks.

This arch will never always be bigger than Trump's. Which may explain a lot.

Another day, another library...

Jeffersonville IN. Same vintage and also still selling groceries.

This is in Louisville BTW. Forgot to ALT.

Probably should've eaten breakfast here but I didn't have time. And the neon would have been less impressive in the daytime.

That one is still relatively intact as well!

This one is one of my favorites (I've visited before). It opened as an A&P in 1939 and somehow managed to hang on until 1982, when the current occupant took over. It's on Taylor Blvd in Louisville across from Churchill Downs, and it's basically kept the neighborhood from becoming a food desert.

In case you were wondering what a Krispy Kreme is SUPPOSED to look like...

When in [the general vicinity of] Cincinnati...

And I'm not sure why "natural" autocorrected to "native" and why I didn't catch it earlier.

I was thinking of taking that route anyway. It skips West Virginia and the turnpike completely and doesn't really take much longer. So I'm not complaining.

In one of my many native habitats...

Google maps "scenic shortcut" to avoid a backup in Charleston.

Thanks. I was adding some STL museums to the list just this afternoon!

000

This should be fun. I haven't been to either city in almost 30 years and I've never really done much exploring at all in St Louis.

I've already got a line on a good Cajun place in STL.

I'll probably be leaving in the morning for St Loius and Kansas City, but I always reserve (and often invoke) the right to change destinations at the last minute.

📻 To celebrate College Radio Day, tune in to more than a century of college radio history. In 1906, Harvard students formed what was described as the first college radio club. By the 1920s, students were building stations and broadcasting campus events. 📚 More: blog.archive.org/2026/10/02/1... 🧵

In honor of College Radio Day, please enjoy this picture of the back of my head from more years ago than I am willing to admit.

Two turntables and a (not visible) microphone

Looks like the Loblaws that's barely visible at the left edge of the first photo is no longer standing and would have been about where the current Pizza Nova is located.

Can't remember if I watched it the night it originally aired. I would have been on the road in the middle of my move to San Francisco. Probably in Denver.

As previously mentioned (somewhere) this may be my favorite Simpsons episode.

The southeast corner of Avenue Road and Davenport on this day in 1930. Today the corner building still holds a TD Bank, a descendant of the Dominion Bank. ow.ly/Nq5750ZR27c

Black and white photo of a street corner. A white three-storey building with a gable has a sign saying, "The Dominion Bank" painted on the side and lace curtains in the upstairs windows. Next to it, is a one-storey shop called Stop and Shop has large windows and an awning. A sign on the roof parapet reads, "Home of 8¢ Bread". Series 372, Subseries 3, Item 983.

Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom.

University mascot who bears a striking resemblance to Marvin the Martian.

I never had anything cleaned there but I'm not the kind of person who needs to have things dry cleaned very often. Usually just my black suit after someone dies…

I've been driving by this building my whole life and almost every day for the past 10 years or so. The cleaners finally closed recently and I'm afraid it's not going to be there much longer. It's a fairly unremarkable building but I'll miss it.

Timely, as I just finished reading "Hoover Dam: An American Adventure" by Joseph E. Stevens a few days ago.

I assume this morning's fog (which doesn't photograph very well) is designed to coordinate with my brain fog from getting less than four hours of sleep last night.

Motto for this year at home (and at work to a lesser extent): "It's the DNS, stupid!"

OK. I think I have it covered. Propagation may or may not take a bit. DNS is such a pain...
