After finishing my walk today, I headed over to where Beach 86th Street terminates at Jamaica Bay. I climbed out on the nearby jetty to get a good look at this row of old bungalows built on a pier over the water at the northern end of Beach 84th Street. Because of how the houses are lined up, they're mostly obscured from view on Beach 84th Street; in fact, I didn't even realize they were there when I walked the street. I only discovered them afterward while looking at aerial photos of the area. As we learned back then:
These unusual houses, apparently more than a century old, were in the news back in 2008 when the state passed a law allowing the city to sell the pier to the homeowners who lived atop it. A few years later, the artist Duke Riley featured the bungalows in one of the stained-glass pieces he designed for the nearby Beach 98th Street subway station.
There are about 16 houses standing on the pier now, but there were once more. I count seven additional houses in aerial images from both 1924 and 1980. (Here's a 2012 view for comparison.) In the 1924 aerial, and even, to a much lesser extent, in this 1996 one, you can also see a number of houses built out on other nearby piers jutting into the bay.
Title: "Map of Manitoba, published by authority of the Provincial Government, March 1893". This very scarce folded map measures approx. 24" x 24" and shows every section (square mile unit) of land in the province. Compared to the Rand McNally map of approximately a decade earlier, the Provincial map shows the province with more or less its modern muncipal organization into Rural Municipalities. Although the main map does not make a point of including the disputed part of Northwestern Ontario, it does contain an inset map (not shown) showing Manitoba's position in the North American continent in which a sizeable region north of the Winnipeg and English Rivers (i.e. not including southerly areas such as Rat Portage/Kenora) and extending several hundred miles into what is now Northwestern Ontario is clearly labelled "Manitoba".
This copy of the map folds and includes a glued-on title page that indicates that it was intended for distribution at the 1893 World's Columbian Exhibition in Chicago, Illinois.

Il mappamondo di Fra Mauro (1459-60) recentemente restaurato sarà nuovamente visibile nelle Sale Monumentali della Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana di Venezia in occasione della mostra "San Michele in Isola. Isola della conoscenza" dal
12 Maggio al 2 Settembre 2012 nell'ambito della mostra. Il planisfero della Biblioteca Marciana è leggermente ellittico e iscritto in un quadrato con i lati di 2,23 metri; è privo di scala, così come di meridiani e paralleli; il suo orientamento vede il Sud riprodotto nella parte superiore, secondo l’uso islamico e al contrario del tipo tolemaico (Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana di Venezia).
An overview look as of August 2020 at my collection of transit timetables, maps, schedules, ride guides, etc. that I've amassed so far. Many of these were picked up while visiting and fanning different systems, and several others were kindly given to me by fellow transit enthusiasts. This series of photos is based loosely by state or providence, but sometime city or region depending on what I actually have.
