Saved by a historical society in 1878(!)
It used to be at the Don River and Queen, and was moved

Could help but notice that a bandit was killed and three others were caught, plus a man had two murder trials. So much for people yearning for the so-called β€œgood old days”

There are other dial up providers. Not many, but some

Drivers don’t think that local roads without tolls are socialist, but they are

It is socialism and there’s nothing wrong with it. It’s why I have universal healthcare, and don’t worry about how I’m going to pay for my doctor visits. I support and defend socialism

Why don’t they mark sections and parking spots like they do cars parking garages? It would make finding bikes easier

Would you know if it’s for both Utrecht Centraal and the shopping mall next door, or does the mall have a separate bike garage?

The park was a needed respite from the heat and hustle of Amsterdam. There are many areas of quiet walks, flowers, ponds, art, and coolness on a hot day. It’s a second living room for many in the city

I was in Vondelpark two weeks ago. I love its design a lot. I love the pedestrian dirt paths on the sides that are easy on the feet. It is very busy during rush hour, though. I saw a bike crash at a very busy double Y intersection near Groot Melkuis. I wish I had spent more time at the park

Surely the driver had to quickly serve out of the way of a maniac e-bike rider that came out of nowhere and didn’t stop fully at a stop sign

I have to go to the basement to find the letters to verify what he actually wrote

I remember writing him in one of them that my chemistry teacher was the baseball coach and he was encouraging me to pitch (I’m tall.) He wrote back to encourage me to try out for the team just so that I could β€œaccidentally” throw the ball hard at my β€œjack a$$ weirdo teacher” in the back of the head

This is sad. I wrote several letters to him in the 90’s and he responded to them all. This was after my high school chemistry teacher played the Elements song and I loved it. I asked my teacher if he had his address to write to. A month later he gave me a paper with his address (it was hard to find)

This sounds a bit gross. Did they process the tongue (grind it or slice it) before canning it, or was it just a plain whole tongue in jelly?

In Rotterdam, they kinda did both, except with a parking garage (beside the Boijman’s Van Beuningen Museum)
