The old neighborhood
05.04.2004Here's an satellite image of the Vine Neighborhood in Kalamazoo. My stomping grounds. The circle points to The Parkmont, my apartment building just 10 months ago. Below the thing that looks like a high school (which it is), are three little buildings I visited daily: The Fourth Coast Café, Klein's Bagels, and Martini's Pizza. Along the left edge of the map are the hills & thickets & brick building of East Hall, the original campus built a century ago. I'll probably live in the Stuart Neighborhood when I return to Kalamazoo, but it's nice to imagine the old 'hood.
I got the idea from Mark, using TerraServer.
Also, J. Edmund's mom is now officially cooler than mine. Since she has a blog. But my mom's never been cool, she's just always been awesome. So there.
And one last thing. I just picked up two packages of comics sent by Josh Upson. That's over a month of pulls. Guess who's a happy boy.

New comics? I kno you are loving New Frontiers..right? Did we talk about this already? Enjoy your reading.

Yes, totally enjoying DC: The New Frontier. And not just because of Darwyn Cooke. We'll have to sit around sometime and you can fill me in on Silver Age lore. But it's so visually breathtaking & well-written to boot.
