Gradually, the town began to decline. The end of the California Gold Rush began to limit travelers, as did the growth of nearby Oakdale and Modesto. In 1871, the county seat moved to Modesto, and the railroad stop was placed in Oakdale, dooming the town. It now is a sleepy ghost town of 98 (though some 30,000 people live nearby).
"Downtown" Knight's Ferry. The general store, built in 1852, is the oldest one continuously operating in California.

By the way, I was really pissed off that The Dark Knight, The Reader, and The Wrestler all got ripped off at the Oscars by Slumdog Mediocre-air.
The script was cliche, the storyline was the only somewhat creative part of the movie, the entire film was riddled with stereotypes (which astonishingly enough did not bother any other Indians which ALSO pisses me off) , and the main actors were downright horrible. The fact that hype dictated the way awards were administered at the Oscars this year really disappointed me because I thought the mission of the Academy was to reward cinematic works of art for merit, not just for popularity.
So, for the next little while, I am going to just keep quoting The Dark Knight in objection to the Oscars. I'll work myself up to The Reader and The Wrestler quotes soon enough :)
The Knight Commission on Trust, Media and American Democracy examines the causes and consequences of a collapse in trust in democratic institutions, with a focus on trust in the media, journalism and the information ecosystem. In addition, the Commission seeks to identify the perennial and emerging values and social obligations that should guide those who produce, distribute and consume news and information to ensure a functioning democracy. To accomplish this, the August 2017 workshop provided Commissioners and participants an opportunity for thoughtful discussion guided by a set of issue-driven white papers and readings.

I don't build Brickheadz all that much, but I had to try some Hollow Knight characters. A lot of them are practically Brickheadz already, especially the Knight and his Shade.
Once I'd built a couple (the Knight and Cornifer) I felt like they needed more than just my standard piece of black card as a display, so I built my first ever piece of Brickheadz-scale scenery, part of the Forgotten Crossroads I think.
Anyway, here's the collection so far. Enjoy.
Kids in Disneyland, Paris. I've spent several minutes watching the children play as real knights and real princesses. So cute.
As a kid, it was the armor and weapons that the Art Institute displayed that really drew me to the place. As I've gone back as an adult, I appreciate everything they have to offer, but I did miss the armor and weapons that they had stopped displaying.
Much to my delight when I visited today, they brought some of it back. I was quite overjoyed.
