Twitter friends: I will soon be making a permanent move to the Bluesky app, and will be permanently deleting my account account here. I encourage you to make a move over there. Search my name and follow. I will follow back. 👋🏻

While strolling around NYC last month, we stumbled upon the location of Bonham’s auction house. They were hosting a photography auction & had many of the pieces up to view. Here is a photo by Ansel Adams, Moon & Half Dome, 1960. Excuse my bad iPhone photo .

Going to try Bluesky social as a considered alternative to X. Here’s my feed: bsky.app/profile/greg-g… Give me a follow and I’ll follow back. ✌🏻

@AlanZakrison 🙏🏻🙂

@greg_gerla Ran out of room, and even so, this is still a greatly-abridged history. The Danish Canadian Club’s been there since 1964. Before Kits opened in the east section, Nordic Travel occupied that spot.

This is The Fairmore Building, 725-11th Ave, SW. #yyc Recently the location of Kit Interior Objects, it’s now empty. I love the Deco/MCM design of its entrance. I tried to find some info about its origin, but couldn’t find anything. Maybe @AlanZakrison can help?

@AlanZakrison Thank you! 🙏🏻

@greg_gerla The old buildings have some stories to tell. The west section dates back to 1912, when it was a car showroom and garage. In 1933, Greyhound moved in. Later, Fairbanks Morse; rebranded as the Fairmore in 1962. That same year, a “teen-age night club” opened on the 2nd floor.

Just a reminder that vehicles built after the 1950s have signal lights.

Variable.

Sweet sun up

@JimWellsphoto comme ci, comme ça

@greg_gerla But somewhere in between?

Neither here nor there.

It’s been awhile since I posted a #chicogram In spite of that, he still has a hold on my heart, and is missed as much as ever. He came to me in my dreams last night. We were running around together having fun and being happy.

@stalman Could it be iCloud or Dropbox backing up?

Do you ever have one ssd that just refuses to eject and won't give any clues which program might be using it? JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT FROM ME!?!

Days end.

There’s panos, and then there’s PANOS.

I choke. You choke. Artie choke.
