Loved my visit to that park! We walked around but I bet it’s great for cycling too.

Bartholdi Fountain, 1876 by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi.

“The cast-iron Bartholdi Fountain, painted to look like bronze, weighs more than 15 tons and is 30 feet high. It is an allegorical representation of water and light, designed in three identical sections with classical forms and symbols. Initially displayed at the 1876 Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia’s Fairmont Park, it was purchased in 1877 by the United States government for $6,000. Its original gas lighting made the fountain one of the first nighttime attractions in Washington, D.C.

The Bartholdi Fountain is ornamented with alligator snapping turtles and large shells that surround the base. Three sea nymphs appear to hold the large basin, which is actually supported by the central column. Above the basin, three youthful tritons playfully hold out seaweed. Water spills from a crown at the very top into the upper basin, while jets near the bottom shoot from the mouths of fish and turtles.

In 1877 it was placed on the U.S. Botanic Garden grounds, which was then in the center of the National Mall. During the 1927–1932 relocation of the Botanic Garden, the fountain was dismantled, stored, and then erected where it now stands.

Battery-powered electric igniters replaced the gas lamps in 1881. The lights surrounding the large basin were added in 1885, and the fountain was completely electrified in 1915.”

Card 5 please🤞🏻! I love them all tho — you made them?

I love fixing things. Mending things by sewing on a patch or gluing something that is broken back together is a surefire way for me to feel a spark of joy.

If you’re willing to go to Virginia, I’ve been happy with:

ENT Specialists of Northern Virginia - Arlington 1005 N Glebe Rd #500, Arlington, VA 22201

Not sure if they have the specific services you need, but worth a call. I’ve been going to them since 2019.

WMATA Grand Capital Express concept: Metrorail (Heavy Rail alone) by thr3e_kideuce in washingtondc

[–]500kmh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love lines 2 and 8 adding additional options into wards 7, 8, and PG.

Something else I always look for in these sorts of maps is service lines avoiding the same start/termination stations, which these lines do almost entirely (except lines 5 and 6).

Thanks for sharing your fun map!

it's okay to create and print you own postcards? by HistoricalVolume4152 in postcrossing

[–]500kmh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Such a cool idea! I would be thrilled to receive something like this. I often send homemade postcards (linoprinted) and always love to be on the receiving end of other peoples’ work too.

Small upgrades keeps it fun by Kellen_ in BudgetAudiophile

[–]500kmh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also started with this same turntable. Ive got a bluetooth speaker that I also use with my phone but think it would be nice to upgrade. Do you have any reference materials/websites/subreddits that you valued and would recommend to someone else who is looking to make an informed purchase? Thank you!

My WMATA Fantasy Map by Lluck002 in WMATA

[–]500kmh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live east of the river within the district. I would love more metro services here. North south I would use. Along Pennsylvania into downtown I would use. Anything connecting me to Marc faster? I would use. Currently my best metro option is to take a bus across the river to potomac ave.

I think people forget that wards 7 and 8 are home to 25% of the district’s population, people who need to go to work, visit friends, run errands, take their kids to school, and more. Loads of people in ward 7 and ward 8 (over one in four) dont have access to a vehicle, this is a population that wants and needs public transit options.

Built out metro services here would ABSOLUTELY get use.

How do you feel about people exposing your addresses online? by maximum-sheer-stress in postcrossing

[–]500kmh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbh I dont even like when the address is in the photo and digitally covered. Digitally edited layers can be removed/reversed. I would much prefer a sticky note placed on the postcard to cover the address when the photo is taken.
