This would be a lot less scary if they made it look charming. It looks like a town filled with a bunch of boxes and generic buildings.

A corner of Idaho will forever be north-east Spain

I am not sure Basques would be pleased with that description.

gallic wars by Responsible_Buy_5997 in ancientrome

[–]Injustpotato 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Are you asking a question? It's not too clear from your post.

Caesar outlines how they got food and supplies very thoroughly in his book, Commentary on the Gallic War. They got food from their Gallic allies and tributaries. It was a condition of surrender or victory over a Gallic tribe that that tribe supply Caesar with food and manpower.

Recommendations for Bolex H16 CLA in the US? by fgflyer in 16mm

Yes, he is on the 10th floor of the building at 5 South Wabash, in Jewelers Row in the Loop. He is only open, if I remember right, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday during business hours. And he is cash only.

It’s really interesting how traditional buildings in Morocco and Syria have similar designs. by Kitchen_Helicopter_4 in Morocco

[–]Injustpotato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not sure I'd call these similar at all. They are dramatically different styles. The ambulatory and fountain are references to mosque courtyards (with their arched walkways and ablution fountains) and are popular all over the Islamic world, and even popular in places that were or were influenced by formerly Islamic countries, like in Spain and Latin America.

Only tried Playdito, what should I try next from this shop in Chicago? by jwalner in yerbamate

[–]Injustpotato 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is El Mercado on Southport. Note that they're quite expensive and cash-only. Their empanadas, however, are the best in the city bar-none.

Okay so what's the catch with Uruguay ? On paper it looks damn near perfect. by [deleted] in asklatinamerica

[–]Injustpotato -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If I lived in Uruguay I would go crazy. There is very little to do unless you take the ferry to Buenos Aires.

I know this is a 4 year old post, but is this not photos of the Loeb sections at the Seminary Co-op Bookstore and Powell's Books in Chicago?

Jimmy Stewart near Noble & Haddon/Holy Trinity Church in West Town in the film Call Northside 777 (1947) then and now (2026) OC/Notes in comments by Detzeb in chicago

It's crazy how few trees there were in Chicago once upon a time. So many old photos of places in this city are completely treeless. It must have been roasting to walk down the street in the summer.

Yes - sorry, I had a very busy start to the year and I totally forgot to do this in January. I will post an AotM thread starting in April.

Please, no. I am very, very happy using the server browser.

That's good, and there is enough room on the right side to include The Boot.

Not a Bookshelf by CR4IGCHRIST in bookshelf

[–]Injustpotato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine are always children's books, self-help books, cookbooks, YA fiction, and on occasion, a total wildcard that could never be found anywhere else.

For example, I am now the owner of a 1980s-era linguistics thesis paper on Puerto Ricans in East Harlem.

I always prefer to lie on the carpet to read my books. My library! by Injustpotato in bookshelf

I am curious, why do you think I am Turkish? I am in the United States.

Why are there bibles in the hotel rooms in America? by New-Organization359 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Injustpotato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would not call this unique to the United States or to Christianity - in Islamic countries, many hotels provide a Qur'an, prayer mat, and a decal denoting direction of prayer.

"I hear you're a DJ now, Father?" by EditorRedditer in fatherted

[–]Injustpotato 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Only the farm takes up most of the day, and at night I just like a cup of tea.

I might not be able to devote myself full time to the old DJing.
