Re: England’s Thames Path: Kew Gardens
My wife Diane and I spent almost an entire day at Kew Gardens. So much natural beauty to see. We arrived from central London at the Kew Station in mid-morning and didn't leave until almost dusk. At one time our son had a possibility of being transferred to London and I recommended getting a place in the Kew Garden area for the beauty and quiet. One of my photos from Kew.

Re: Underground Art: A Times Square Subway Gallery
The artwork is spectacular! It's a shame that more folks don't take the time to admire its beauty and the talent needed to create such pieces. Great write-up my friend!

Re: Baseball Hall of Fame - Cooperstown, New York
Thanks Samantha, I'd love to visit Cooperstown. When I saw Hank Aaron's boyhood home at Mobile's minor league stadium with all it's incredible baseball memorabilia, I knew I had to see the Baseball Hall of Fame one day. Thanks for showing me what to expect!

Re: Baseball Hall of Fame - Cooperstown, New York
Hi Rob, it is a really cool place to visit. I had been to the Negro Hall of Fame in Kansas, but not the one in Cooperstown. It was so worth the wait! Thanks for mentioning Aaron's home in Mobile. I would like to see it someday too. Have a great weekend

Re: Baseball Hall of Fame - Cooperstown, New York
You can't help but be impressed with the Aaron family after seeing the place! Glad to see the Hall of Fame has a great Hank Aaron section too! My blog on Hank Aaron's childhood home: https://www.travelgumbo.com/blo...ron-s-childhood-home

January 13, 2016: Trafalgar Square. London
While on a trip to London we had to stop and check out Trafalgar Square. It was really amazing, even though it was cold and we got rained on quite a bit. Lol It is an interesting little square with a lot of history. The square contains a large central area with roadways on three sides and a terrace to the north, in front of the National Gallery. The roads around the square form part of the A4, a major road running west of the City of London. The square was formerly surrounded by a...

Re: May 28, 2019: American Bison, Keystone Gallery
Can't be certain, because it gets fuzzy when blown up, but the shape and proportion look right to me for a 1948 Plymouth. Anyone else?
Comment
Re: May 28, 2019: American Bison, Keystone Gallery
Here's a '39 for comparison. The grille change to all-horizontal took place around '41, the last year of full production. Note that the '39's fenders still show some stylistic reminder of when they were not integrated into the body shape. The remnant of running board disappeared before the first post-war designs. I picked 1948, but it could have been a year or two earlier, but definitely not pre-war.

Re: Along the Moskva River to Gorky Park
I'm curious, why do you call the river "Moskva" & the city "Moscow"?
Comment
Re: Along the Moskva River to Gorky Park
Portmoresby, that is a good question. I guess it because, all of the maps and tourist websites use Moskva for the river, but if I said I was in the city of Moskva, most English speakers would have no idea where I was.
