A photo of this scene almost a year ago got me 400 000 views and I have come so far since then. Here's to the New Year: Happy holidays everyone.
This week we are going back twenty-six years to 1998 and to KC 56 on O'Connell Street. The bus is operating a service on route 3 to Larkhill. This route started running between Larkhill / Whitehall and Sandymount in 1940. Originally terminating at Sandymount Tower, it moved to St. John's Church in 1972. Around 1990, certain departures were extended to / from UCD Belfield. In 2012 the route was replaced by a new route 1 between Santry and Sandymount, with Larkhill being served by an extended route 44, as part of Network Direct.
KC 58 was new to CIE in 1984. The final KC Class buses were withdrawn from the Dublin Bus fleet in 2000, with a farewell run for this class and the KD Class double-deckers taking place on the 13th January 2001. Members of the KC Class lasted a little longer with Bus Eireann.
There has been a few changes to O'Connell Street since this photograph was taken. Tram lines now go down the road as part of the Luas Green Line. The public toilets in the centre of the road are gone, and the Spire dominates the centre of the background.

This week we are going back eleven years to 2014, and to GT 80 on Terenure Road North with a service on route 49 to The Square (Tallaght).
Route 49 started running between the city centre and Kimmage Cross Roads in 1925. In 1928 it was extended to Tallaght. From 1943 to 1949 (during, and shortly after, the Second World War) it was cut back to only run between Terenure and Tallaght, regaining its full routing in 1949. In 1990 its Tallaght terminus moved the new shopping centre, The Square. It still terminates there today.
GT 80 was new to Dublin Bus in 2012, the last member of the original order of GT-Class buses. The GTs were the first double-decker buses to be delivered with middle doors in 13 years. 80 more GTs were delivered in 2013, and in 2018 12 of them transferred to Go-Ahead Ireland. GT 80 is still in service with Dublin Bus today (and even did a trip on route 49 on the day I am posting this).

Going back to this because this has to be a defining moment in my life. Not only did I meet Atif Aslam (sort of, until the girl who wanted to make chai for him pushed me away), I got my first actual recognition as a photographer!
My pictures went up on his official website, and almost 14 THOUSAND people like the album on facebook.
Mountain Dew new Throwback can with the old hillbilly on it. Love this can. Out on December 28th,2009. See BevReview.com for more info.
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 January 2020 graduation moments! From the cocktail dinner at Cry d'Er, in Crans-Montana, to the official ceremony, we proudly celebrated our freshly graduated Les Roches students.

Hard-work, laughs, tears, and friends. Our young Alumni can now start a new chapter filled with many wonderful memories from their time at Les Roches. Congratulations to everyone!

This was one of those shots I had hoped to go back and try again. I guess not now!

Thanks for stopping by!
This week we are going back thirty-eight years to 1992 and to D 378 parked on O'Connell Street.
This Leyland Atlantean was new to CIE in 1970. In 1988 Dublin Bus started operating tours around the city. The same year this bus, as part of the tour fleet, emerged in a special livery to mark Dublin's millennium. Initially it had no roof, but later that year it received this perspex roof. After 1988 it had a number of either special or advertising liveries, before receiving this design in 1992. The bus was withdrawn in 1997 and later sold for scrap.
When delivered in 1970, it had the registration plate "378 IK", but for its millennium livery it received registration plates displaying 88-D-988.
Dublin Bus still operate open-top tours around the city in 2025.

Pepsi Throwback, Real Sugar, Target Stores, 7/2014 Pics by Mike Mozart of TheToyChannel and JeepersMedia on YouTube.
My older cousin Kevin (he got me involved in this whole graphic design thing back in 7th grade) happened to send me this photo a few days ago. At first I could not place where this was taken then i remembered it was on our family trip down to Disney World in the mid 80s. I'm guessing I was 6 or 8? Mom if you are watching can you email me with the year if you know?
Check out that camera! I can't think of the name of the type of film it took; it was the kind that had the two round pieces at the end connected by a little thin flat piece? I'm sure we all had a camera like that when we were kids. Well, the film on this trip is one of the 5 rolls of film i've ever taken that I don't have a clue what happened to. I don't recall ever seeing the prints.
facts about the trip:
• there were about 10 or 12 of us in the white conversion van making the trip from ohio to florida
• I peed in the van during my sleep - i think only my aunt wilma knew (kevin's mom)
• i ate my first fudruckers burger. mmmm
• I bought the sweetest ninja sword ever at the japanese village
• i rode the michael jackson ride
• I was in love with whitney houston at the time. every 5 minutes "i wanna dance with somebody" would come on the radio. Imagine the amount of teasing you get when you are the shy, youngest kid in a van with all of your family.
Yeah.. this was for Lazy Sunday and I was REALLY lazy. I forgot to do much but put it out. It's still discounted for a few days. Main lantern. XD
Summer, Barbie and Teresa
The girls accompany Barbie while she goes out to look for the perfect outfit for her date with Ken.
Barbie === I was thinking something blue with a dash of sparkle.
Teresa === Why not red instead. It signifies confidence and fearless.
Summer === I don't understand why you're disregarding your signature color.
Barbie === Hello Summer, it's our anniversary. I want it to be extra special.
Summer === I don't know Barbie. Pink always saves the day for you.
Teresa === I agree. I think you should go with pink. Add a dash of sparkle to that.
Barbie === Thanks girls. If you both insist then I'll go with pink.
Summer === So where is he taking you?
Teresa === Oh my gosh! Is he taking you to the Cheesecake Factory?
Barbie === Hehe no. He's taking me to this new place in town called "The Bistro."
Teresa === Oooooh fancy.
Summer === Well let's not wait any longer. Your perfect pink outfit awaits!!!
