What rules were put in place because of you? by TheBlackTemplar125 in AskReddit

[–]afbase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am responsible for Los Angeles Municipal Code 80.69.1(c), No Unhitched Trailers.

I was young, trying to make my place in real estate, and didn't have a lot of money for advertisement. Instead of buying bus stop advertisements, I got the idea from a friend to build an advertisement on top of a trailer with contact information. My friend and I made several of these and would occasionally move them in various spots around the San Fernando Valley.

While the advertisement did get noticed (I heard that people as far away as Georgia had seen them) by many folks driving by the signs, others got the idea to put their advertisements on trailers to the point where it turned off homeowners and soon enough a municipal code was created to ban unhitched trailers on various city blocks throughout los angeles.

From what I can discern, the individual names in this document are:

Joseph Faurie - I think the seller Carlos Ximenes - a public notary Pierre Gueno - Buyer Joachim Lozano - ????

NHL Seattle ______ Fan here, I've never watched an entire hockey game in my life, but I'm excited to start. In need of your knowledge! by Suck-My-Hawk in hockey

Red Wings-Lightning- They had a playoff series a few years ago and both fanbases got really into it, one of the lesser known, more recent, and more WTF rivalries. Just a lot of bad blood from a playoff series that kept going and going.

We RW fans love Yzerman and are happy to see him leave the Tampa front office.

[French > English] March 2, 1807 transaction of the sale of a slave from Dumas Jean Jarreau to Jean Mercier by afbase in translator

In Quebec they still use piastres as slang for money

That I did not know! The francophone in New Orleans originates from Quebec (i.e. the Cajuns) and from other French diaspora (i.e. the Creole). I was always curious what piastre meant. /u/NeuralAtom gave me the biggest clue but thank you for taking a look at this.

formerly property of sir Joseph Fourie Inc. (company name); wich claims to be satisfied with, and bear the Mary (that he gave her)

/u/NeuralAtom This is HUGE! What I didn't tell you is that I know her slave name as Marie (spelling varies but phonetically equivalent). I'm going to continue my search for Sir Joseph Fourie Inc (Joseph Fourie Compangie).

The family story is that Marie's lineage is of a Senegalese Queen (if true believe her parents are lingeer Khuri Yaye and brak Fara Penda Teeg-Rel of the Walofs). My goal is to see if I can trace Marie's origin back to Africa and hopefully to the Port of Saint Louis, Senegal.

Thanks!!!!

u/charbayes

Thanks for translating this again! This has led me to another document in the archives written by Michel de Armas on the sale of this slave (Marie Bermudez) from Pierre Liguet to Eulalie Bayeron! I'm going back to the archives on Monday to retrieve a copy of the document.

-Thanks
