The Douglas DC-7 was an advanced development in large piston-engine airliners. American Airlines introduced the aircraft on its New York to Los Angeles route on November 29, 1953. It was the first airliner to provide nonstop transcontinental service both east-to-west and west-to-east.
The DC-7 cruised at 580 kilometers (360 miles) per hour and was the fastest transport aircraft in service. As a result, 338 DC-7s were purchased by 18 different airlines. Piston-engine airliners were made obsolete by turbine-engine Boeing 707s and Douglas DC-8s. Some DC-7s were later used as cargo planes and for charter work.
This nose section is from the American Airlines flagship Vermont, which carried about 130,000 passengers in its nearly 13,500 hours aloft.

DC/Georgetown is full of charming row houses (and Embassy Row) I wanted to catch the adorable purple house ( just 6' wide) the Smallest, and quite famous- but it passed by in a flash. This row of shops/homes was quite representative and a fun exercise in perspective!

Seeing Fugazi in Washington was a dream come true. They were amazing.
DC Village was established in 1906 as the Home for the Aged and the Infirm at Blue Plains. There is more information on DC Village in this 1996 City Paper article. The boiler plant predates the major development at the site in the 1960s.

Wall Street banks and corporations are raking in record profits while our communities continue to suffer job losses and cuts to public programs. Instead of lining the pockets of corporate fat cats, this money should go to our children’s Head Start programs, Grandma’s retirement, and fixing our broken healthcare system. It’s time for the administration to stand with the people and TAX WALL STREET.
April 20, 2013 Robin Hood and the merry folk of main street march to the White House and Treasury Department to demand a financial transaction tax on Wall Street trades so we can put the money toward global health needs, addressing the climate crisis, jobs, and education.

I really like DC. He's a bit younger than me, and speaks his mind. I still love that "I'm going to kick 3 colours of $#!7 out of Massa" comment.
Milano AC/DC mediolanum forum
URAGANO AC/DC - Quei ragazzotti venuti dalla provincia musicale australiana erano destinati a far tremare il pianeta con il loro hard rock. Lo hanno capito le tre generazioni che hanno riempito il Mediolanum Forum, godendosi uno show iperbolico tra memorie e fradicia sbronza visionaria. Un lungo video in apertura rimbalza tra cartoon e videogame, e poi una vecchia locomotiva è lì a dominare il mega palco. L'irrefrenabile chitarra di Angus non vuole darsi tregua: il carismatico leader degli AC/DC saltella col suo “passo d'oca” a ridosso della voce di Brian Johnson, ruvida come la carta vetrata per l'apertura in gran stile di Rock 'n roll Train. Sembrano schegge impazzite e se ne accorgono gli sbarbatelli sotto il palco che forse ciondolavano ancora nella culla quando gli Ac/DC hanno cantato l'ultima volta in Italia.
BLACK ON ICE - Lapilli di rock dall'ultimo album Black on Ice e, senza tregua, la feroce rincorsa a saccheggiare le radici con Back in Black e You Shook Me, tirando il fiato per qualche secondo prima dell'ultima discesa agli inferi. Una campana gigante rimbomba sul palco e il coro dei quindicimila canta Hells Bells, aspettando di risalire con Let there be rock, Tnt, Shoot to thrill. Il basso di Williams e la batteria Rudd ci danno dentro e, quando sparano i cannoni, l'apoteosi si rischiara con il finale di For Those About To Rock. Fuochi d'artificio, effetti speciali, grande lezione di musica, ma il tempo è passato troppo in fretta. Troppo presto per riflettere sui giganti della storia del rock, troppo veloce per evitare di tornare nelle nostre gabbie quotidiane, ancora più difficili da smantellare se non ci fosse stata la musica degli Ac/Dc, per una sera, ma anche per una vita intera.

The ANSWER protest sign drama continues as the anti-war group hides behind the First Amendment in its defacement of Washington DC public property.
Yesterday the Department of Public Works fined the ANSWER coalition $10,000 for posting hundreds of signs to promote a peace march September 15 that were illegally affixed to utility boxes, using glue that was too sticky, exceeded the number of signs allowed per block, and not registering copies with the DPW.
Today ANSWER responded that it would counter-sue, claiming that the DC government fined them in a "politically motivated" bid to silence their efforts against the war in Iraq.
Let me be one of the many to call "bullshit" on ANSWER coalition position. Slapping up ugly-ass posters on every inanimate object in the city, violating very clear anti-graffiti rules that every other protest organization follows, is not Free Speech. Nor would the content be what pisses off the citizens of Washington.
ANSWER forgets that DC is majority Democrat and in general does not condone the idiot in the White House, and is very much against the war in Iraq. More importantly, they forget that they are guests in DC, and defacing our city isn't the way to treat guests.
So I'd like to send ANSWER a message. I'd like you to join me in removing ANSWER signs and sending the detritus to ANSWER's HQ at 1247 E St. SE, Washington, DC 20003. Better yet, give them an earful while you do it on (202) 544-3389.
