Stewarts was THE store that served the South before the Civil War. From 1850, it predated Hutzlers by 8 years. Baltimore was a trade hub both north and south at the time, and the B&O Railroad was largely Southern ownership, then. The Hechts Store, left of the Bus was another important shopping point. This was Howard Street maybe 1950Stewarts Dept store from about 1850 to 1984.jpg

I arrived late. My first computer was a C64, and the first PC a second hand Bondwell XT working from 5 1/4 FD and no HD. (Yes, cheapest one in craiglist, bought in a hurry for college work)

Scary how it cost $3000 in the 80s, and nowadays you can get remarcably good computers for less than that regardless of the life cost increase....
$3000 40 years ago... shudders at the fortune it was...

There are very few receptors in the clitoral hood. I have been told it hurts less than having your ears done.

I wondered whether that was a simple hood piercing and someone squooshed herself for the camera...my Forever Girl wanted a ring like that, but her hood tissue was thin. She settled for a barbell...they can be very pretty...

Central Park New York. cir.,1933

Since Central Park construction was finished in about 1875-ish, and my father rode the Bridle paths there as a teen, this must be Robert Moses' reno work. Some additions like ballfields, and plumbed amenities were added but this is not original construction of the park. The building left upper looks like the Essex House, but the angle is odd, so I cant tell. This could ALSO have been construction for one of the East River tunnel ventilation systems.

I remember a TV documenttary about Central Park and the work and efford to get it to look artificially natural was incredible... And it worked.

Nowadays most people out of USA (or maybe even out of NY?) will not have a clue Central Park was not an empty city lot, but that it was carefully designed and constructed.
?
Even today, it would be a very expensive and hard work... (just it would likely take 10x the time to build, now ?)

yup....at Current Real Estate prices in NY City of 1000$ per square foot, the land alone is worth 38 Trillion Buckees. 848 acres of basic undeveloped ground, well watered, is just not available on the Island of Manhattan. And Frederick Law Olmstead, who had no experience in such things, became the most in-demand landscape designer in the world for a time. He designed neighborhoods in many places, including NW Baltimore....where by law even the streetsigns in his little enclave cannot be changed
