Do you know if your annotated Dracula website (the old one) is still accessable through the wayback machine? If so, would you mind sharing a link?
Sorry to have been absent from this blog for so very long that some time has probably elapsed since this was asked, but the good news is that while the old site probably has some accessibility via Wayback, I finally finally finally got it up and running at a new domain. You can check it out here. :)
@Thomasduke98 on Twitter superimposed screenshots of @netflix #TheSandman episodes onto real life locations all over London, Hammersmith, Canary Wharf and others.
they started as an "omnibus" a horse drawn two stop back and forth along a pre determined route! then they added more stops! they messed with the size of the omnibus and the number of horses until they hit the right size for the route!
(blease note these are intra-city buses, stagecoaches would go outside the city to specific locations and they generally required a reserved seat)
they basically SLAPPED A ROOF AREA to get roof passengers! double deck omnibuses!
then we get MOTOR OMNIBUSES! as the petrol engine is getting better! for context the first motor omnibus ran in 1899 - this is 13 years after the patent for the first petrol engine car (1886), 74 years after the first steam public railway in england (1825) and 36 years after the london underground was opened (1863). by 1911 there were no horse-drawn omnibuses owned by the london general omnibus company!
AND THEY WERE EVERYWHERE! (please look at the number of BUSES and INDIVIDUAL CARRIAGES [usually hired cabs] and PEDESTRIANS)
a lot of places switched to electric trams in the 1910s, public transport became reliant on the comparatively more efficient light rail or tram systems. the trams gave way to electric buses in london in 1930! they were much less dangerous than trams as people did not have to walk right into traffic to get on em
then as engines got more efficient trolleybuses were switched with petrol engine buses
then in the 1950s more people got cars and they began dominating the streets and creating.. traffic and. traffic laws. and stuff.
thanks for coming to my whistlestop bus lesson hope u have a brilliant day
I've never actually been to Rome. My father has, though, when he was...eight? My grandfather was a devout Catholic, and wanted his family to see the Pope. My grandmother was not a devout Catholic, only a devout auditor, and in the middle of St. Peter's Basilica started asking pointed questions about the Catholic church's finances, while my grandfather begged her to please wait till they were off consecrated ground.
At some point, they realized their son was missing.
Catholic sermons are not very interesting for eight-year-olds, so my father had wandered off and hopped on a tour bus. He ended up in Pompeii and it was "pretty cool," before the tour group realized they'd acquired an extra child.
