The existential threat that I tend to feel

A convergence of streams in the park that we thought was why the area was called ``The Forks''. Nope! Those are a different forks, of more significant rivers. This is just a nice little spot in the park. Note the frisbee golf target.

Cascarelli's is a place we would often go, to go out to eat, although it'd usually be a bit disappointing since the vegetarian options are the salad bar and like, fried cheese.

The Bohm theater, with the plea for support of local relief as they were correctly not doing movies.

Plaque that's still attached to a building long after it stopped being a bank.

Trivia: The French government had about 200,000 soldiers (down from a million at the end of the war), plus 10,000 bureaucrats and some members of their families, occupying and administrating the French Zone of western Germany at the start of 1946.
