• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Joy, Ron,

Happy to oblige! I admit I do it out of self-interest, as I really enjoy looking at the photos. This way, I can see them all at once.

Irish,

I forgot:

19. In front of an airport.
This was the world's very first airport, and it still has the hangars and catapault system as the Wright brothers designed them.

#4 +50 Place named after a Native American tribe or person (Big Indian, NY - Once a Munsee named Winnisook (the name means "snowfall") lived near Marbletown, New York; because of his height of about seven feet, he was also called Big Indian. He was in love with a local woman, Gertrude Molyneux, who eventually loved him as well; because her parents opposed the match, they arranged a marriage with one Joseph Bundy. Disliking Bundy, Gertrude eloped with Winnisook into the wilderness. Some years later, a party of people searching for a missing cow was led by Bundy; still seeking revenge, he accused "that big Indian" of stealing the cow. When they finally found Winnisook, Bundy shot him with his rifle and injured him severely; after being left alone, Winnisook crawled to a pine tree where Gertrude found him later dying. After Winnisook's death and burial, Gertrude and her children moved to the site; the hamlet of Big Indian later developed at that location. Local lore holds that the pine tree stood until the railroad through Big Indian was built in the 1880s.)
