The noted tree of Nerima-ku, Tokyo is a ginkgo tree.
Although this is a signboard explaining it, a ginkgo tree is not found in around here.
Post Arbor Day (4/30), several tree-care companies joined our forestry team at Cazenovia Park to prune deadwood, fertilize trees and remove harzardous trees near playgrounds to ensure that our Olmsted trees are healthy and that the park is safe. Thank you to more than 50 tree-care specialists from the following organizations for supporting our Buffalo Olmsted Parks: Bradley Tree and Landscaping, Drave's Tree Service, Rose Forestry, Specialized Tree Service, The Davey Tree Expert Company, The Tree Doctor, Tree Care of New York, Vermeer Tree Care.
Thank you for volunteering your time and for loving our Olmsted parks!

Edward Gein
So what else happened on the day the card was posted to Doris?
Well, the 27th. August 1906 marked the birth of Edward Theodore Gein, also known as the Butcher of Plainfield or the Plainfield Ghoul. He was an American murderer and body snatcher.
His crimes, committed around his hometown of Plainfield, Wisconsin, gathered widespread notoriety after authorities discovered Gein had exhumed corpses from local graveyards and fashioned trophies and keepsakes from their bones and skin.
Gein confessed to killing two women; tavern owner Mary Hogan in 1954, and a Plainfield hardware store owner, Bernice Worden, in 1957.
Gein was initially found unfit to stand trial, and confined to a mental health facility. In 1968, Gein was found guilty but legally insane of the murder of Worden, and was remanded to a psychiatric institution.
Death
He died at Mendota Mental Health Institute of liver cancer and respiratory failure, on the 26th. July 1984, age 77.
He is buried next to his family in the Plainfield Cemetery, in a now-unmarked grave.

The Old Post Office in Dawson City, Yukon, was built in 1901. It was designed by Thomas Fuller, a renowned Canadian architect at the time. It is among the oldest buildings in the Yukon. Mail was a vital part of Dawson life since the town was formed in 1896 because it allowed the gold miners to keep in touch with the outside world.
The building contains a large vault, 1775 assorted brass-faced boxes, and drawers to hold the mail. There is also a postmaster's office, delivery offices, and a telegraph receiving room. On the second floor are ten offices. These were inhabited by the Customs Service, the Crown Lands Department, the Registrar of Crown Lands and the Telegraph Service. A small elevator for messages and parcels connected them with activities on the floor below. An annex on the side of the building housed Fuller's office; later it became the telegraph office.
A makeshift, dusty sniper rifle not unlike those carried by Desert Hunters, the ruthless bandits/bounty hunters of the Afternuke Desert.
Feedback is quite welcome :)
the people all huddled by the door are actually surrounding a heater that shot out open flames. It was nice that the building had a heat source, but it reminded me of how many famous projects have burned down. and why?
Funnily enough, it's no longer the Post Office.
This building replaced the General Post Office building built only 25 years earlier further along Meadowside which was demolished to make way for the Courier Building.
This building, itself superseded by something not even worth mentioning, appeared to be empty - languishing as a former nightclub. Oh, the indignity.
Jim Leyland had just been tossed, and I guess figured that once he was out of the game, he may as well REALLY tell the umps his thoughts.
All the post offices I saw on Maui had really excellent geometric type signs on them. Look at that N!
