With the release of the Redstone patch I have been meaning to start up a new world. Here is some screenshots of some of the structures I am working on. These are incomplete and will probably receive more detail as I have time to update them.
The National Museum of African American History & Culture (NMAAHC) is one of the newer museums on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
Physically, it's an impressive structure from outside, on the northeast corner of 15th & Madison next to the Washington Monument.
The museum is basically 7 floors. The ground floor with the gift shop & information with a large atrium. The 3 floors below ground predominantly tell history (chronologically) from the slave trade up to current day. The 3 upper floors address different aspects of culture (music, art, dance, theater, sports, and literature among others).
The photo you are looking at here is from my second visit, which happily coincided with Malcolm X's 96th birthday (19 May 2021). Since I'd been before, I didn't stop by information, but from what I recall of my first visit, they suggest starting with the lower floors and finishing with the upper floors. You'll probably want to block a half day, at least, to take this museum in.
Should you follow the suggestion of history before culture, you'll walk behind the information desk and around a back hallway to take an elevator down to the bottom floor (or stairs around the elevator shaft, should you choose). When you come out, you're greeted by darkness and displays regarding the slave trade in general, and in the different regions of the country, including "highlights" of the era, like Bacon's Rebellion, Denmark Vesey, etc. There is no specific demarcation to let you know you are moving up from one floor to another, but there are ramps (it's not a trick or anything like that). The farther up you go, the more you approach modern day, passing information about famous historical figures (Douglass, Tubman, DuBois, Booker T. Washington) and historic events (emancipation, sit ins, segregation, Jim Crow laws, black nationalism) until finishing with a few exhibits that highlight specific decades (1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s).
From there, you can take a break and grab lunch in the cafe -- if it ever opens again -- where they have foods that are staples in the black community -- before continuing to the other half of the museum.
I would suggest taking the escalator up to the top floor and working your way down. On the top floor, you'll find the exhibits for art, music, literature, and theater/television. Going down a floor, you'll find sports and special exhibitions. The fourth floor (well...2nd, I guess) is a hands on workshop and genealogy research center.
Realistically, this museum takes multiple visits to really let everything seep in. Even after two visits, I feel like I barely glossed over everything.
This 105-acre island property is connected to New Rochelle by a drawbridge built in the 1920s. After Playland, Glen Island is the second most widely used park in the County Parks system. One of Westchester’s unique jewels, it was initially developed as a summer resort by John H. Starin. The original design exhibited the five cultures of the western world on individual islands linked together with piers and causeways. Today, the islands have been merged with substantial fill areas totaling 130 acres, providing a beautiful crescent shaped beach with access to the Long Island Sound.
This structure, built sometime in the late 2000s, adjoins the rear of the county's 1941 WPA courthouse.
On Scene with Watertown Volunteer with a smoky structure fire at 20 McLennan Dr in the Oakville section of town. First due crews found heavy smoke coming from Quality Automatics Inc ,a machine shop located at that address. Crews immediately stretched lines and hit the hydrant at the end of the dead end street for an additional water source. Extension ladders were used to access the roof for ventilation since powerlines prevented the aerial ladders from being used. The fire was brought under control after approximately 30 minutes but required extensive overhaul and ventilation. In addition hazmat precautions had to be taken due to the lubricants and by products of the manufacturing process at the business were mixed with the water and foam used to extinguish the blaze.

Nasturtiums grow well in pots, borders, or on their own. They do not require much care and make a nice addition to the urban garden. The foliage looks like weird solar collectors which, I guess, they are. The flowers are edible and peppery. Don't fertilize this plant too much or it will tend not to flower. It does not tolerate frost, and tends to get aphids, ants, and other unattractive bugs, especially under the leaves. A dilute soap solution followed by a nice spray of water should help keep these under control.

An old experiment with Florian Jennet's structured light scan, doing basic triangulation and drawing each face semi-transparently.
Another old structure with the futuristic windmills for contrast. This place was obviously a house.
Of course I know nothing about it so I have no history to share.
As the additions of the house stretch back they fall down more and more. Nothing but the wind whistling through the windows and doors now.
The chimney is still standing but I’m guessing it’s only a matter of time until it comes tumbling down like a bunch of lego bricks. Looking a little iffy near the top…
So, what do you think? Was this a farm house? Or just someone’s nice house in the country?
