It's how we treat each other is going to deteriorate and we're not going to like who we're about to become." It reminded me of something I saw earlier on Twitter: why do we think the 1918 pandemic figures so little in the art of the 1920s? or am I just reading the wrong stuff — Jake Anbinder (@JakeAnbinder) March 15, 2020 I've been collecting some photos and screenshots that give a small glimpse into how we are behaving as we face this unparalleled financial and humanitarian crisis. ...
PCCs on McKinney, Dallas
The streetcars in San Francisco are more numerous, but not more interesting than those in Dallas. This car was parking on McKinney this morning awaiting Sunday runs. It's one recently added to our fleet. And here's one passing the Palace Hotel in San Francisco:
