Back in 1956 hood ornaments like on this 1956 Mercury were not even thought to be a deadly weapon when striking some poor pedestrian. It was all about beauty back them, however, that all changed in the years that followed. As a 15 year old at the time I have fond memories of the Sunday night television show, The Toast Of The Town, aka The Ed Sullivan Show which was sponsored by Lincoln Mercury, and drooling over all the commercials of "the latest models" from Mercury. The following from Wiki is a little history of the show:
From 1948 until its cancellation in 1971, the show ran on CBS every Sunday night from 8–9 p.m. Eastern Time, and is one of the few entertainment shows to have run in the same weekly time slot on the same network for more than two decades.
Virtually every type of entertainment appeared on the show; classical musicians, opera singers, popular recording artists, songwriters, comedians, ballet dancers, dramatic actors performing monologues from plays, and circus acts were regularly featured. The format was essentially the same as vaudeville and, although vaudeville had undergone a slow demise for a generation, Sullivan presented many ex-vaudevillians on his show.
Originally co-created and produced by Marlo Lewis, the show was first titled Toast of the Town, but was widely referred to as The Ed Sullivan Show for years before September 25, 1955, when that became its official name. In the show's June 20, 1948 debut, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis performed along with singer Monica Lewis and Broadway composers Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II previewing the score to their then-new show South Pacific, which opened on Broadway in 1949.
From 1948 through 1962, the program's primary sponsor was the Lincoln-Mercury Division of the Ford Motor Company; Sullivan read many commercials for Mercury vehicles live on the air during this period.
The Ed Sullivan Show was originally broadcast via live television from CBS-TV studio 51, the Maxine Elliott Theatre, at Broadway and 39th St. before moving to its permanent home at CBS-TV Studio 50 in New York City (1697 Broadway, at 53rd Street), which was renamed the Ed Sullivan Theater on the occasion of the program's 20th anniversary in June 1968. The last original Sullivan show telecast (#1068) was on March 28, 1971, with guests Melanie, Joanna Simon, Danny Davis and the Nashville Brass and Sandler and Young.
HAPPY SLIDERS SUNDAY !!
In the spirit of Sliders Sunday, I slid (slided? slud?) my editing program's Contrast Slider up to the max. I think this added appropriate drama to what is already a boldly designed street access cover. BTW, the sky was bright blue, so the reflected color is real.
The high contrast contributes to a fantasy mystery suggested by my caption. On the internet, I could not find a firm named Altkirch that makes cast iron street access covers. What does exist is the Alsatian village of Altkirch. It is about 25km from where this cover is located. An overactive imagination suggests that this cover marks the access to an underground passage between Mulhouse and Altkirch! I should go to Altkirch and see if I can find an access cover there that says "Mulhouse." Ah me. So many things to do, so little time.😎

Work on the CREATE program's Forest Hill grade-separation project, much-touted and publicized by the railroads involved, (NS, BRC, CSX and Metra) has finally commenced, or at least, visible construction has. To the left of this very long CP manifest heading west on the BRC towards Clearing Yard, are the beginnings of foundations for the flyover (which CSX's B&OCT / Barr Sub will use to cross the BRC and NS mains) as well as trackbed being prepared for reconfigured CSX-BRC connection tracks.
During the September 11 attacks of 2001, 2,977 people were killed (excluding the 19 hijackers) and more than 6,000 others were injured. The immediate deaths included 265 on the four planes (including the terrorists), 2,606 in the World Trade Center and in the surrounding area, and 125 at the Pentagon. The attacks were the deadliest terrorist act in world history, and the most devastating foreign attack on United States soil since the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
Most of those who perished were civilians except for 343 firefighters and 71 law enforcement officers who died in the World Trade Center and on the ground in New York City, and another law enforcement officer who died when United Airlines Flight 93 crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, 55 military personnel who died at the Pentagon in Arlington County, Virginia, and the 19 terrorists who died on board the four aircraft. Overall, 2,605 U.S. citizens, including 2,135 civilians, died in the attacks, while an additional 372 non-U.S. citizens (excluding the 19 perpetrators) also perished, which represented about 12% of the total. More than 90 countries lost citizens in the attacks, including the United Kingdom (67 deaths), the Dominican Republic (47 deaths), and India (41 deaths).
2,974 victims were confirmed to have died in the initial attacks. In 2007, the New York City medical examiner's office began to add people who died of illnesses caused by exposure to dust from the site to the official death toll. The first such victim was a woman, a civil rights lawyer, who had died from a chronic lung condition in February 2002. In September 2009, the office added a man who died in October 2008, and in 2011, a male accountant who had died in December 2010.This raises the number of victims at the World Trade Center site to 2,753, and the overall 9/11 death toll to 2,996.
As of August 2013, medical authorities concluded that 1,140 people who worked, lived, or studied in Lower Manhattan at the time of the attack have been diagnosed with cancer as a result of "exposure to toxins at Ground Zero". It has been reported that over 1,400 9/11 rescue workers who responded to the scene in the days and months after the attacks have since died] At least 11 pregnancies were lost as a result of 9/11. Neither the FBI or New York City officially recorded the casualties of the 9/11 attacks in their crime statistics for 2001, with the FBI stating in a disclaimer that "the number of deaths is so great that combining it with the traditional crime statistics will have an outlier effect that falsely skews all types of measurements in the program's analyses."

Not great, but pretty impressive considering the level of effort on my part. I'm impressed by the program's ability to match the mood, color, and overall composition vibe of the image.
Pink and standing on stilts - like its namesake - this was among the eight pilot projects that launched the Eisenhower-era ''Mission 66'' national park infrastructure program, conceived to rejuvenate the system in time for its 50th anniversary in 1966.
The program's choice of architectural style - dubbed ''Park Service Modern'' - marked a clean break from the traditional log-and-stone rusticity that had, by that time, become synonymous with park structures.
The park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

On April 22, 1970, humanity came together around the world to celebrate and honor Earth Day for the first time. Not long after, in 1972, the crew of NASA's Apollo 17 mission took this classic photo of Earth, the "Blue Marble", on their way to the Moon for the Apollo program's final lunar landing.
Now, as NASA prepares the Artemis program to return to the Moon — to stay — we continue to look back at the beauty and wonder of our home planet, using what we learn in space to keep it safe.

Today in 1971, Apollo 15 astronauts David Scott and James Irwin became the first humans to drive a car on the lunar surface, the Lunar Roving Vehicle. The lightweight, electric car greatly increased the range of mobility and productivity on the scientific traverses for astronauts. The LRV weighed 462 pounds (77 pounds on the Moon) and could carry two suited astronauts, their gear and cameras, and several hundred pounds of bagged lunar samples. The LRV was designed and developed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center and built by Boeing. Here, David Scott waits in the LRV for the return trip to the Lunar Module, Falcon, with rocks and soil collected near the Hadley-Apennine landing site. Today, Marshall is playing a vital role in the Artemis program by developing the Space Launch System, the backbone of NASA's exploration plans and the only rocket capable of sending humans to the Moon and Mars.

With the “IAIS” steam program’s future uncertain, I took the morning to run up to see the Iowa Bolt’s last run before it gets put in the shed at Newton for an unknown amount of time. The morning’s weather couldn’t have been much better for a casual train chase.
This was the second of two must-have shots from the trip. I only wanted to be sure to nail the Grinnell shot and since I’d seen how full the stack was yesterday, I wanted a “fall in Iowa” broadside. I’ve shot almost this exact shot before, but wanted some more texture in the foreground this time so I got a towel out and laid as flat as I could in the field.
This week in 1994, space shuttle Columbia, mission STS-65, launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center carrying the second International Microgravity Laboratory.
