1959 - "Mr G" was the first Okapi born in a US zoo - look at the size diffence betw the calf and the giraffe - Oh, btw, the Okapi is related to the Giraffe - just does not have the long neck as it is native to the forest areas in Africa. This species was not discovered by scientists until the early 1900's.

True Story
I remember this beauty from my visits to the zoo. Olga was a zoo favorite - I remember the day a man was teasing her in front of a big crowd, and I thought to myself "how rude" and wanted to say something to him (at my younger age back then) when all of a sudden Olga took aim and spit water right in his face!! The crowd cheered and boy did that man look like an ass........ p.s. he didn't say a word....... and he was soaking wet :-) I love animals..........

Cardinal Lanes bowling center sign, Paducah, Ky. Unusual geometric script — and the sign is just metal, not the neon you'd expect.
A sepia-tones shot of some street signs on Dunbar in Vancouver. I like the way it turned out, but it does look a little like LA smog.
When it opened its doors in 1932, the Paramount was one of the first movie houses in Boston to play talking motion pictures. As the area deteriorated, the once-thriving theater had been relegated to being a run-down porn house as part of the “Combat Zone” and closed down in 1976. Recently, the city and Emerson College lead a dramatic restoration of the Paramount to its former glory, with the marquee lighting up Washington Street with over 7,000 bulbs.
