Weesperzijde | Schollenbrugstraat 28/03/2017 15h35
In the Summer of 2013 street artist Clet Abraham visited Amsterdam and restyled a large number of traffic signs througout the city. Unfortunately a lot of them have been removed already. Municipal services in Amsterdam are thinking it's more important to remove street art like this instead of taking care of crooked paving stones and weeds between the stones all over Amsterdam. It looks like Clet is back as there are more masterpieces on the traffic signs throughout Zuid and parts of East at the moment (March 2017). From Google Streetview I learned that this piece of Clet was there already in September 2016!

"Because me feel like I'm treated like an idiot and I find forms of visual pollution," said 43-year-old Abraham Cleet.

Avenue René Coty
Avenue René Coty is an avenue in the 14ème arrondissement of Paris in the quartiers Petit-Montrouge and Parc-de-Montsouris.
This avenue starts at 5, place Denfert-Rochereau and ends at 58, avenue Reille. Length 1013 meters and width 32 meters.
It bears the name of René Coty (1882-1962), the last president of the Fourth Republic of France.
As part of the work to transform Paris to host the Universal Exhibition of 1867, the creation of Parc Montsouris was decided in 1860 by the prefect of the Seine, Georges Eugène Haussmann. It was decided to dig in trenches in the plateau of Montsouris a wide shaded avenue extending the boulevard d'Enfer (current boulevard Raspail) in order to allow access to the park under construction: the avenue Montsouris was inaugurated in 1865.
The avenue was renamed in 1899, “avenue du Parc-de-Montsouris”, then in 1964, “avenue René-Coty”. The central aisle lined with trees and longitudinal planters was named after Samuel Beckett (1906-1989), Irish writer, poet and playwright in 1999.

Place Aminadabu Birara
In November 2021, the city of Paris took the decision to name a square in the 18th arrondissement in the name of Aminadabu BIRARA. Surviving the successive massacres of 1959, 1962, 1963 and 1973, he was the organizer of the resistance against the genocidaires on the hills of Bisesero during the genocide of the Tutsi in 1994.
The hills of Bisesero occupy a special place in the history of the genocide of the Tutsi in Rwanda. They have been considered, since 1959, as a place of refuge and resistance. From the start of the genocide, in April 1994, thousands of Tutsi living in the surrounding communes again converged on these hills, a rallying point for the resistance but also in the hope of escaping the killers.
The inauguration of this square took place Friday, May 13, 2022.
Rue Ferdinand Flocon
Rue Ferdinand Flocon is a 140 meters long and 12 meters wide street in the 18ème arrondissment of Paris. Starts at Place Aminadabu Birara and ends at 43, rue Simart.
This street was opened in 1882 and took the name of "rue Flocon" in 1885, before being renamed more explicitly "rue Ferdinand-Flocon" in 1905.
The street has been "piétonissée" (pedestrianized) since September 1, 2020.
It bears the name of Ferdinand Flocon (1800-1866), French journalist and politician.

Grab them if you can. They were still out there when we visited New York City. But sooner or later the Ford Crown Victoria will be history as a New York taxicab.
Taxicabs of New York City
The taxicabs of New York City are widely recognized icons of the city. Taxis painted canary yellow (medallion taxis) are able to pick up passengers anywhere in the five boroughs. Taxicabs are operated by private companies and licensed by the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC). As of March 14, 2014, in New York City, there are 51,398 men and women licensed to drive medallion taxicabs. There are currently 13,605 taxicab medallion licenses in existence, 368 of them having been auctioned by the City of New York between November 2013 and February 2014. Each of these new medallions is earmarked for use with a wheelchair-accessible vehicle, which will be introduced into service over the next several months. Taxicab vehicles, each of which must have a medallion to operate, are driven an average of 180 miles per shift; the average total number of annual taxi passengers is 241 million. As of September 2012, there are around 7,990 hybrid taxi vehicles, representing almost 59% of the taxis in service – the most in any city in North America. The Nissan NV200 won the city's bid to become the "Taxi of Tomorrow" to replace most of the city's taxi fleet, with its introduction scheduled for October 2012. Nevertheless, this decision has faced several lawsuits and criticism.
