Hello, peoples. Today I have a picture that serves dual purpose.
1. As a throwback to my early days in superhero customizing.
2. As an explanation to why some of why LoLH heroes are very similar to certain Avengers.
------------------------------------------
Before I explain the picture, I want to explain where this LEGO superhero universe started.
Way back in my glory days on the now-deceased LEGO.com General Gallery me and my brother wanted to make a story together.
That story was Captain Assembly and Flyboy! It was about our sig-figs being superheroes and having to work together while hiding their identities from eachother.
(Heres a link to the story if you're interested. Sorry no pictures even though there were originally. Also some things may seem weird because our sig-figs had some already established canon: docs.google.com/document/d/1X8KcH514oCxM0--j4JrkJtQg45hAV...)
Eventually I decided to make a whole team that was a knock-off Avengers. I even called them the LEGO Agency Avengers. I easily fit Captain Assembly as Captain America and Flyboy as Antman. (You may also recognize fighter. Then he was called Armor Man.) I never really did much with these characters but you might see some other remnants of this universe resurface...
Happy Throwback Thursday! The bottom photo is 2009's house management intern Charly and the top is 2014's house management intern Caitlyn!

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 The final KC Class buses were withdrawn from the Dublin Bus fleet in 2000, with a farewell run for this class and the KD Class double-deckers taking place on the 13th January 2001.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.

Lancia sold in the US? Maybe, we have Fiat once again here after all.
But for now it remains a throwback!
This week we are going back twenty-six years to 1999 and to RV 422 parked on Marlborough Street, dressed for route 32A.
CIE started operating route 32A in 1958, taking the route over from the GNR(I). It ran between the city centre and Malahide, but ceased to operate in 1966. It returned to the network around 1971. The route reached Malahide by going via Raheny and Baldoyle. It completely stopped operating in 2012, when under Network Direct route 32 was extended to Malahide.
RV 422 was new to Dublin Bus in 1998. It was withdrawn in 2009, and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.
This part of Marlborough Street is now the Marlborough tram stop on the Luas Green Line.

After going back to real sugar, the current Mountain Dew just doesn't taste the same.

Throwback Mountain Dew. Cardboard promotional piece for limited edition throwback Mountain Dew bottles, except on plastic bottles (instead of green glass), so it really doesn't count. :-)

Throwback Thursday
I am second from the left. I think I was around 12 when this was taken. I took a photo of this photo with my new camera and I'm very pleased as to how clear it came out. I think Chloe and I resemble one another, check out my eye brows..Chloe's are similar. I got those from my mom.
In a 1966 article entitled “Texture” for Mountain States Architecture magazine, DeGrazia said, “When a man is creating a building or a painting it must be–first and last–a thing of beauty with good proportions and harmony. These qualifications are things of the spirit, of the soul, and of the mind.” Happy Throwback Thursday!
This week we are going back forty-three years to 1982, but staying in Marlborough Street, to see a parked D 629 between duties on route 30.
Route 30 started operating between the city centre and Dollymount, going via Fairview and Clontarf, in 1938. In 1996, it and route 44A were replaced by new route 130, operated by City Imp minibuses.
D 629 was new to CIE in 1975. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in 1992, and was sold on for scrap.
The ad on the side of the bus is for Dingos Jeans, an Irish brand set up in the 1970s.
This side of Marlborough Street is now home to the tram tracks of the southbound Luas Green Line.
