I grew up on the East Side of Toledo, Ohio (Utah Street), not far from the Maumee River, and with a pretty clear view of downtown.
The I-280 bridge towards the top was originally named after Toledo's first casualty in the Korean War. At some point (mid 70s, I think) some Federal bureaucrat came in and told the city that they couldn't name an interstate bridge because it was Federal property. I'm pretty sure that years later that was changed and that the bridge is now named after Martin Luther King, Jr.
Just north of the South End bridge is a railroad trestle from which Juice Box took a photo from an Amtrak train.
The Anthony Wayne Bridge, as well as the Anthony Wayne Trail (which isn't attached to the bridge in any way) were named after "Mad" Anthony Wayne. There was a playground underneath the bridge that we spent a lot of time at as kids. We also climbed into the bridge's structure once in a while (avoiding mucho, mucho pigeon shit!)... once, I climbed a drain pipe (that ran from the bridge's road surface) and as I was about to step over to the bridge's concrete base, I fell about ten feet (or more) and landed flat on my back. Fortunately, I only had the wind knocked out of me. Well, that and the desire to climb the bridge again!
Tatton Park is a historic estate in Cheshire, England, north of the town of Knutsford. It contains a mansion, Tatton Hall; a medieval manor house, Tatton Old Hall; Tatton Park Gardens, a farm and a deer park of 2,000 acres. It is a popular visitor attraction and hosts over a hundred events annually. The estate is owned by the National Trust and is managed under lease by Cheshire East Council. Since 1999, it has hosted North West England's annual Royal Horticultural Society flower show.
Ok, not very glamour, but if you see this thing in the streets, then your neighbourhood is probably photographied for Googlemaps.
Seen in Ostend, Belgium, the car is Italian.
(The origin of the car, the brand not yet, or maybe, or...I don't know...)
Last Night's Checkins gives a heat map of all the places you've ever checked in on Foursquare. What does this one say about me?
The part of Foursquare that I've become most enamored with lately is this ability to create a lifestream of places. Can you imagine if you had all of this data from your teen or college years? This would be amazing to mashup over long periods of time.
I'm going to build a stupid simple Foursquare app that emails you the places you checked in one or two years ago on this day.

I just realized how similar the 'handwritten' fonts of both companies are to each other, esp. when rendered in white letters on red background.
Ottawa, Ontario.
Grove Street, where me and my families grew up. Shit blew up so I moved to the east coast for a few years, but while I was gone things got real bad. Good thing I came home in time to turn shit around.
Comenzar diciendo que esta zona en los alrededores del Faro de de Roche son impresionantes, con acantilados muy pronunciados y sobre ellos es muy habitual el visualizar a nuestra altura el vuelo de gaviotas, como se muestra en la imagen, así como de otras aves...
Desde La Fuente Del Gallo: Gaviota de Vuelta a Casa Direccion Hacia El Faro de Roche en Conil de la Frontera... La Janda Litoral, Cádiz. Muy al Sur de España.
La Fuente Del Gallo se encuentra a unos 2 Km de Conil, en la bellisima playa con acantilados que le ha dado su nombre y es muy recomendable durante los días de levante... En donde nos podemos resguardar del mismo. Ideal para pasear sobre la arena o por arriba sobre los acantilados desde donde podremos visualizar todo el paisaje con preciosas vistas con el añadido de que al atardecer, contemplaremos la belleza de los acantilados iluminados por la puesta de sol.
Es una playa de aguas cristalinas, de fina y dorada arena, de muy poca profundidad... En ella podemos encontrar las famosas Tres Piedras como se muestra también en la imagen que acompaña al texto. En la misma y en el horizonte, podemos visualizar El Faro de Roche que originalmente era una de las muchas Antiguas Torres vigías que hay en esta zona del siglo XVI aproximadamente y que fue recuperada y adaptada a Faro tras su restauración en el año 1986 siendo a su vez la primera de todas las que le siguieron después.
Es la única de planta cuadrada. Tiene una altura de 16 metros y su alcance es de aproximadamente 20 millas. Ofrece un destello cada 3 segundos y sobre el techo de la torre hay 4 pilares de hormigón de unos 3 metros de altura que sostienen una plataforma circular del mismo material sobre la que descansa la linterna.
