Times Square at Night. Signage is mandated by zoning ordinances that require building owners to display illuminated signs, the only district in New York City with this requirement. The neighborhood actually has a MINIMUM limit for lighting instead of the standard maximum limit. Officially, signs in Times Square are called "spectaculars", and the largest of them are called "jumbotrons". This signage ordinance was implemented in accordance with guidelines set in a revitalization program that New York Governor Mario Cuomo implemented in 1993.
Times Square's first environmentally friendly billboard powered by wind and solar energy was first lit on December 4, 2008. On completion, the 20 Times Square development will host the largest LED signage in Times Square at 18,000 square feet. The display will be 1,000 square feet larger than the Times Square Walgreens display and one of the largest video-capable screens in the world.
With afternoon temperatures near 60 here in the mid-Atlantic, the ice on this pond from last week when temps were around the freezing mark during the day has melted.
A sign which looks like it was posted by a concerned citizen when the ice was beginning to melt.

While on a roadtrip wtih BT, somewhere north of Putney, VT in some village I will never remember the name of or find again, we happened on a colony of Vermont artists, and this was the only road sign we saw. Sometime later, I tried to figure out which litte hamlet we were in, but had the hardest time placing it on the map. The closest I've come to a real life Brigadoon.

From North Street
A few shots of The White Stag on Whitelocks Street Leeds 7, although most people would know it from North Street. Whilst the pub is shut there is still an old web site available at: www.users.dircon.co.uk/~steve-w/whitestag/index.htm.
Sad to see another decent pub go.
This pub is on the Yorkshire Regional Inventory of Leeds CAMRA, meaning that it has a substantially original interior, although it has seen some alteration.

White Stag
North St., Sheepscar, Leeds LS7 1AL
There was until very recently a planning application to demolish this pub and redevelop the site as a cash and carry warehouse.
Leeds City Planning No. P/08/01839/FU/C
This pub on the Regional Inventory, was built in 1932 for Tetley's Brewery of Leeds and designed by Kitson, Parish, Legard and Pyman. The interior although simple in design has not been greatly altered since the 1930s and is in largely original condition. Today this is a rare survivor.
Happily this application has now been withdrawn so the pub is safe for now.
This application was opposed by CAMRA and The Leeds civic Trust.
CAMRA have also submitted the White stag for listing by English Heritage because of its Regional Inventory status. A final decision is expected in the near future.
An afternoon wonder around Flavigny-sur-Ozerain
Flavigny-sur-Ozerain is a commune in the French department of Côte-d'Or, in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.
The village was awarded membership in Les Plus Beaux Villages de France ("France's most beautiful villages").
The medieval village of Flavigny is situated on a rocky spur, surrounded by three streams: the Ozerain, the Recluse and the Verpant.
The first written mention of the village of Flavigny was in the Latin form of its name, Flaviniacum, which appears in the cartulary (or charter) of the Benedictine abbey founded on the site by a certain Widerard in 719. In the mid-9th century, in response to the increasing frequency of Viking raids, the relics of Saint Reine (or Santa Regina) were removed from the nearby town of Alise to Flavigny in the hopes that they could be better protected in a more fortified setting. The relics remain in Flavigny to this day, although they travel back to Alise every fall for the celebration of the saint's feast day in early September.
The town was prosperous during the Middle Ages, catering to large numbers of pilgrims, both those who came to visit the relics of Saint Reine and those on their way to Santiago de Compostela. By the 10th century, the abbey had grown into a town, with a parish church dedicated to St. Genest in addition to the abbey church (dedicated to St Peter). During the 12th and 13th centuries, extensive fortifications were raised around the town; large portions of these walls still surround the village to this day, including the Porte du Val (which includes both an inner gate dating to the 13th century and a sixteenth-century outer gate), and the 15th century Porte du Bourg with its statue of the Virgin. Despite these fortifications, Flavigny was occupied by the English during the Hundred Years' War.
In 1632 the Ursuline convent of Flavigny was founded, and in the early 18th century a new residence for the Abbot of Flavigny was constructed. However, by that time the abbacy had become corrupt and was held by a layman who had little to do with the town. At the time of the French Revolution, there may have been as few as five monks in residence. The abbey church was probably already in ruins, although local tradition holds that it suffered damage at the hands of revolutionaries. The parish church, St. Genest, emerged from the Revolution more or less unharmed.
In the 21st century, Flavigny has fewer than 400 year-round residents, although this number increases in the summer due to the substantial number of foreigners (Swiss, American, Australian, German) who have summer homes in the village. The abbey now houses the factory which manufactures Les Anis de Flavigny, small aniseed-flavored pastilles distributed worldwide. Various artists and artisans make their homes in the village, and it has become a popular tourist destination.
