DeGrazia shared dual passions for art and music. In 1945, DeGrazia completed his Master of Arts in Music at the University of Arizona. For his thesis, “Art and Its Relation to Music in Art Education”, he explored the connection between visuals and music. Visitors can hear DeGrazia’s music in the gallery’s gift shop. Happy Throwback Thursday!

Last one I swear :p so the bottom left picture is my throwback 2 years ago competing at the Junior Olympics/Nationals meet in the 100 and 200 meter hurdles. The top two pictures are 4x4 and 4x1 and the bottom right is when I went to state in the 4x1 with 2 seniors and a sophomore. I also run the 100m, 200m, if I have to... Hurdles. I do long jump and Javelin. This post was inspired by THE J0KER. So thank you! I have three more years in high school track and field and that means I'll always be busy ish In February to June. Anyways hope you'll enjoy! Oh and if anyone does track, comment below!
Concentration piece #10 (for now)
An old pipe.
I'm not sure where this pipe came from, nor whom it came from. Heck, I don't even know who the face is supposed to be. I do know, however, that it is one awesome looking pipe, so I felt the urge to get some shots of it! Something about it just seems magical in my eyes...

This week we are going back forty-one years to 1985, and to KD 366 on Eden Quay with a service on route 7A to Sallynoggin.
KD 366 was the bus that was never meant to be. When CIE ordered the double-deckers from Bombardier, it was meant to be a fleet of 365 buses. However, KD 111 was written-off in an accident in 1982, and thus an extra bus was ordered to replace it. KD 366 was delivered new to CIE in 1983. In 1990 it became the first Wedding Bus in the fleet, with the new white livery being tested on it before being applied to some of the new Leyland Olympians being that year. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus around 1999.
Route 7A started operating between the city centre and Sallynoggin, via Blackrock, in 1950. In 1988 it was extended to Mackintosh Park, and the route ceased to operate in 2011. The route number returned in 2016 for services between the city centre and Loughlinstown.

Exercise Iron Fist 2012
(Feb. 7, 2012)
An AV-8B Harrier jet lands on the flight deck of the USS Peleliu, Feb. 7. Marines and sailors with the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit, and soldiers with the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force, are participating in a weeklong at-sea period during Exercise Iron Fist 2012, which encompasses all aspects of the Marine Air Ground Task Force during the amphibious landing on to the island and provides the Navy/Marine Corps team an opportunity to practice their craft. Exercise Iron Fist 2012 is a bilateral training exercise, which gives the 15th MEU a chance to demonstrate its amphibious capabilities to the Japanese. on.fb.me/1eWgjSR
This week we are going back thirty-seven years to 1987 and to D 813 on O'Connell Street. The bus is one of many operating shuttles to Slane in County Meath.
In 1981 open-air concerts started taking place at Slane Castle, at Slane between Drogheda and Navan. Double-deckers from the Dublin city fleet were used each year to bring people from the city to Slane Castle, and back again after the concert. In certain years, around 200 buses could be used to undertake this service. The last year Dublin Bus operated a service was 2019, the year before the Covid-19 pandemic. In the last decade or so, there has been an increase in the number of private operator buses used. For many years Dublin Bus ran the service from O'Connell Street as seen here. Then it became Parnell Square, and in 2019 it was Western Way.
D 813 was new to CIE in 1976. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in 1994.
Flanagans and McDonald's are still operating at these locations on O'Connell Street.

This isn’t a Corvette. It’s the Equus Throwback.
Okay, so it is a Corvette, sort of.
But this Corvette has been restyled, and given a little bit more grunt by Equus Automotive, creator of the Bass770.
The retro-inspired Throwback is a limited model, with only 25 planned by the Detroit-based company, which utilises the ‘Vette as a basis to create a “significantly upgraded” muscle car.
The Corvette’s supercharged V8 can be tuned to an output of 746kW and 1114Nm. Equus says it’s capable of a 2.5-second run to 97km/h (60mph), and has a top speed of 354km/h.
Equus Autmotive’s goal with the Throwback was to inspire a sense of nostalgia in muscle car fans while providing a car with modern-day usability.
“The Throwback model uses unique styling language in its outer skin to create a breathtaking vision of the ultimate Corvette. Equus takes the customer down memory lane to an era when Corvettes were synonymous with performance and class.
“The Throwback can be personalized for the design orientated drivers or for the fastest paced performance centric customer, always emphasizing the original love of an icon, desire for innovation and uncompromised quality.
“Just as companies like Brabus and Alpina focus on European brands, Equus Automotive is focused on providing American Sports car lovers the ultimate interpretation of todayʼs designs.
Throwback Thursday ist zurück!

A Manhattan-bound Q train arrives at Beverley Rd station, sporting the diamond Q bullet used during the Manhattan Bridge reconstruction, when the Q was the only train running on the Brighton Line. Since it was both a local and express service operating at the same times it fit the criteria for a diamond bullet to differentiate the two. This is the current criteria for a diamond bullet, which is why the <6> and <7> are currently in use, but not the <5>.

This week we are going back thirty-seven years to KC 3, parked in Phibsborough Garage.
This bus was new to CIE in 1984. Whereas KC 1 was built by FFG in Hamburg, and KC 2 was built in Bombardier, KC 3 was the first KC built by GAC who also build the rest of the fleet, up to KC 202. KC 3 was initially allocated to Cork, before moving up to Dublin Although the bus did operate in passenger service, it did spend some time as a driver training bus. As a result it gained a second mirror behind the door for the instructor to use. The bus was withdrawn by Dublin Bus from service in the late-1990s.
Phibsboro Garage opened in 1971, built on part of the old railway yard at Broadstone Station. That station closed to passenger traffic in 1937, and closed completely in 1961. The station complex is currently home to the Bus Eireann main depot, and more recently a Dublin Bus depot.
