Not sure what varietal it is, but this JM is over 40+ years old and is taller than the 2nd story of my house. A cherry tree grows alongside it and in spring it’s a riot of cherry blossoms and red leaves. 🍁

The Edo-Tokyo outdoor architectural museum is a collection of Edo-era 19th and early 20th century buildings from various locations in Tokyo. The architectural styles reflect a blend of traditional Japanese construction and then-current modern styles.

I feel like I’ve seen this car before in a magazine somewhere.

Brookline, Mass, an upscale urban suburb of Boston, has a really cool campus-style public high school consisting of several buildings clustered around a historic public park and abutting a light rail line. Located in an urban context with limited buildable land, the most recent addition to campus was built directly over the renovated Brookline Hills MBTA station. This building, the new 9th Grade Academy, was completed during the Pandemic.

Bike Friday (Green Gear Cycling Inc) has been hand-building its folding bikes since 1992 in Eugene, Oregon. Made in USA!

Panasonic Traincle, designed for the Japanese train commuter for the “last mile.” Etrto 254mm wheels and 7.2 kg (16lbs) for mine with the Nitto rack.

Titanium frame. Panasonic incidentally made the frame for Soma Fabrication’s titanium folder from about 20 years ago, the Journey.

In actual riding conditions the folder feels fragile, with a flexy stem. At 180 lbs I’m probably a little too heavy for it.

Just a still shot, from an indoor mall I work at. Thought you all would enjoy.

I think this is the first time the Capital Center has been written-up here. A mixed retail-office building in downtown Trenton, NJ, it is described as a mall online and definitely gives off dying urban mall vibes. The interior is a riot of 1990s turquoise and purple and check out the tiles in the food court. The retail is meh and the surrounding streets are an urban dead zone, with the nearby government offices keeping everything barely afloat.
