Spotted in the window of a local pharmacy in town.
This is in my opinion unfair as Muhammad Ali is a legend and the pharmacy's have been ripping off the nation along with the builders, bankers, politicians and plonkers.
I can also see the pharmacy's view a small bit I suppose. Mary is a complete spanner and should be knocked out of her office.
I uploaded this because I'm still not too sure about it and I thought it was worth sharing.

They (HBO) filmed scenes for a movie right outside my apartment . This lighting crane was set-up in the church parking lot on the north side of my building . The action was centered around the house almost dead center , there were also shots looking down my street (to the right) . The 1960's was the time frame for this movie, about Muhammad Ali's fight to be a conscientious objector . The site where I live was chosen because it looked a bit like Georgetown in Washington DC.
This crane was used to light up surrounding buildings, the street, and cars, includng my building, which was right behind me when I took this panorama...
One of the most interesting things about this filming, which started around 2pm, was that they contacted car clubs in the area and rounded up a number of classic cars (and a really cool period taxi0 to appear in the background of the shots . Many of the cars were later than the time period depicted, but they were all 1960's cars . It was like a classic car show . I posted some images of these cars etc. in the following images..
Muhammad Ali's mosque, built between 1830 and 1848, is the most visible of all the Islamic monuments in Cairo. Because it dominates the sky line it has became a symbol of the city, even though it is the least Egyptian of these monuments.

The Sports: Leveling the Playing Field exhibit, part of the Community Galleries on the third floor of the National Museum of African American History and Culture, explores the contributions of athletes, both on and off the field. Because sports were among the first and most high-profile organizations to accept African Americans on terms of relative equality, sports have a unique role in American culture.
The National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), administered by the Smithsonian Institute, was established in December 2003 and opened its permanent home in September 2016. The 350,000-square-foot, 10-story (five above and five below ground) was built to the postmodern design of Phil Freelon's Freelon Group, Sir David Adjaye's Adjaye Associates and Davis Brody Bond. The above ground floors feature an inverted step pyramid surrounded by a bronze architectural scrim, which reflects a crown used in Yoruba culture. With more than 40,000 objects in its collection, although only about 3,500 items are on display, the NMAAHC is the world's largest museum dedicated to African-American history and culture.
The Smithsonian Institution, an educational and research institute and associated museum complex, administered and funded by the government of the United States and by funds from its endowment, contributions, and profits from its shops and its magazines, was established in 1846. Although concentrated in Washington DC, its collection of over 136 million items is spread through 19 museums, a zoo, and nine research centers from New York to Panama.

"A giant among men, Ali displayed [more] greatness in talent, courage & conviction [than] most of us will EVER be able to truly comprehend. #RIPAli"
- former heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis
Peanut (right): "Dora, I'm so glad you suggested that I do my school report on Muhammad Ali. It's my final report of the year and I want it to be the best. I'm almost finished writing it."
Dora: "I've heard Mom talk about him so much, I knew you would find him really interesting."
Peanut: "There was no one like him before--or since. He was only 22 when he won the Heavyweight championship and said, "I must be the greatest!" He had no idea how true that would become. And to lose 3 years of the prime of his career to stand up as a conscientious objector during the war in Vietnam Nam--he really took a stand. To regain the World Championship against one of the biggest knock-out punchers ever, George Foreman, is practically a miracle.
"Still the biggest lesson I learned from researching his life is that you should stand up for what you believe in, even if you have to pay a price."
Dora: "When he lit the flame at the Olympics in Atlanta--that was thrilling! I also think he raised so much awareness about Parkinson's disease. And he became a real humanitarian; he was 'the people's champion.'"
Peanut: "I read a lot of those lists of the greatest athletes of the 20th century that were done by ESPN, Sports Illustrated and others. Not all of them ranked Muhammad Ali as #1, though many did.
"No matter what, to me, he truly was 'the greatest of all time'; next to him, everyone else is just an athlete."
**God bless Muhammad Ali. Rest in peace, rest in power.
