Well, I checked and it was the last bank robbed by Machine Gun Kelly, so you got a good reason. (apparently some rock person was born there too)

Leaving aside the shocking content, I love how the participle of “taser” is “tasé”

Kind of surprised that the short form of Thomas is given here and put between quotation marks. Is this a thing in the US? (I mean, I can imagine this in cases like Reginald “Fat Reg” Johnson, but here?)

This pretty tree was opposite to the terrace where we had a drink with the jarige jet yesterday ("Birthday Jenny" I guess -- it's a fixed expression). Disregard the stop sign while looking.

and what is that other sign saying? "Press to redact??? society"? Columbus I've been to. Is nice.

and for the period of the year, this late Antique oil lamp from Morocco also seems appropriate

As you all know, the Musulami were the important Gaetulian group to which Tacfarinas belonged. There may be one stela that commemorates a member of this group, RIL 808. It comes from the ruins of Sila in the region of Sigus, south of Constantine in Algeria, and looks like this ⬇️

They reorganized the interior of the Laurenskerk. There is now a chapel commemorating the bombardment. The text is from a poem by my uncle Fred (not a religious person btw).
