The Frida theme for the We're Here group has stuck with me this week.
I was drawn to the idea of happy-seeming florals and bright colors paired with a darker, more sinister Frida.
Not that she wasn't edgy already, I just thought I'd just push her one step over.

Op 3 maart 2019 was er in de Linaeusstraat een explosie voor de deur van een Coffeeshop- iets wat toen nog zeer uitzonderlijk was. Lijn 19 moest daardoor uitwijken naar het eindpunt Flevopark. In de stromende regen werd de 824 van de lijn vastgelegd naast een tweetal Combino's van lijn 14. Niet alleen de Trapkarren, maar ook lijn 14 aan dit eindpunt: je zal er vergeefs naar zoeken....

South Beach, also nicknamed colloquially as SoBe, is a neighborhood in Miami Beach, Florida. It is located east of Miami between Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The area encompasses Miami Beach south of Dade Boulevard.
This area was the first section of Miami Beach to be developed, starting in the 1910s, due to the development efforts of Carl G. Fisher, the Lummus Brothers, and John S. Collins, the latter of whose construction of the Collins Bridge provided the first vital land link between mainland Miami and the beaches.
The area has gone through numerous artificial and natural changes over the years, including a booming regional economy, increased tourism, and the 1926 hurricane, which destroyed much of the area. As of 2010, 39,186 people lived in South Beach.
In both daytime and at nightfall, the South Beach section of Miami Beach is a major entertainment destination with hundreds of nightclubs, restaurants, boutiques and hotels. The area is popular with tourists from Canada, Europe, Israel and the entire Western Hemisphere, with some having permanent or second homes there.
The Miami Beach Architectural District (also known as Old Miami Beach Historic District and the more popular term Miami Art Deco District) is a U.S. historic district (designated as such on May 14, 1979) located in the South Beach neighborhood of Miami Beach, Florida. The area is well known as the district where Italian fashion designer Gianni Versace lived and was assassinated by Andrew Cunanan, in a mansion on Ocean Drive. It is bounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the east, Sixth Street to the south, Alton Road to the west and the Collins Canal and Dade Boulevard to the north. It contains 960 historic buildings.
This historic district holds the largest collection of Art Deco buildings in the world, an umbrella term covering a range of styles such as “Streamline”, “Tropical”, and “Med-deco” and built mostly between the Great Depression and the early 1940s. Notably, the architectural movement reached Miami after the city’s real estate market took a downturn in 1925, and the "Great Miami Hurricane" of 1926 that left 25,000 people homeless throughout the greater Miami region. Prior to the arrival of Art Deco, buildings in Miami Beach were primarily built in the Mediterranean Revival style. The historic district still contains many of these buildings, most of which were built in the early to mid-1920s.
The Art Deco designed buildings are often described as evoking technological modernity, resilience, and optimism. The Miami Beach Art Deco Museum describes the Miami building boom as coming mostly during the second phase of the architectural movement known as Streamline Moderne, a style that was “buttressed by the belief that times would get better and was infused with the optimistic futurism extolled at American’s World Fairs of the 1930s.”
In 1989, it was listed in A Guide to Florida's Historic Architecture, published by the University of Florida Press.
The district includes areas of seasonal hotels, commercial strips, and residential area.
Hotels on Ocean Drive, which can actually face the ocean, run from 5th to 15th Streets and front onto Lummus Park, a public park and beach. Many of these "reflect the influences of the Moderne Style perpetuated at the International expositions of the 1930s": the Chicago World's Fair of 1933 and the New York World's Fair of 1939.

I'm standing at the corner of Wilshire and Ridgeley Drive on a quiet Sunday morning. The photo looks east. We're taking the long way from the Westside to the Coliseum and a Rams-Saints game. We would always stop at Du-par's bakery here for a few donuts and pastries to take with us for the game (Roger Owens, the famous "Peanut Man" who tossed bags behind his back across ten rows at the Coliseum, didn't offer anything like Du-par's stuff.)
Even at this age it was not lost on me what I was being surrounded by. To the east, behind the cigarette billboard, is the Moderne 1931 Dominguez-Wilshire building; promiment at center is the 1929 Desmonds tower, which also incorporated the Silverwoods store. Those two retail names were prominent on the Southern California retail scene through the eighties. The same mostly goes for Phelps Meager, the bricked building to the west. A real mid-century-modern gem is at the right: the 1949 Stiles Clements-designed Mullen Bluett building, by this time a Harris & Frank clothing-store branch. This building was deemed expendable and demolished in 2006 in favor of the usual "mixed-use post-modern" development.
The Miracle Mile, Wilshire from Fairfax to La Brea Avenues, took its shape and style in the middle third of the twentieth century. Originally it was thought by many Angelenos to be a gamble for retailers to set up shop this far from downtown, where mostly all commerce took place. But Los Angeles was a small town then, and it grew, and grew, and so Wilshire became Los Angeles's most fashionable shopping area. By 1973 its prominence had given way to the Westside , the San Fernando Valley, Orange County, and other areas as the Southland exploded in growth. Many of the Miracle Mile's buildings remain and many have vanished, but a loyal core of people still celebrate what was.
Cremona, centro cittadino, malgrado l'aspetto innovativo e colorato che contrasta con la classicità della città, moderni alveari con uno sprazzo di cielo solo riflesso.

in februari vormden de 11G Trapkarren nog het vaste materieel van lijn 5. Hier kruisen de 911 en 913 elkaar op de halte Rijksmuseum.

In line with its investment in electrification, the Southern Railway was keen to convey a modern image during the 1930s, and this was reflected in its buildings. The signal box at Woking station is a prime example of Southern Railway moderne.
