Sorry for the absence, I spent the past weekend wrangling sharks with friends in Cape May. Good things coming soon including a new interview. In the meantime, enjoy a picture of this dogfish we found being given a Dogfish Head IPA (really it was a Yards ESA but we can pretend).
This is a little bit late but about six weeks ago I found myself in Prague, Czech Republic on a last-minute Spring Break journey away from Philadelphia. I flew from Philadelphia to St. Louis to visit family quickly before flying through Chicago Midway, London Heathrow, then finally to Prague. The city’s gorgeous and has a pretty amazing history, specifically that of medieval times and the early 20th century. There’s currently a fairly heavy wave of design firms moving to the area which has helped boost the economy (despite U.S.A. still having the upper hand in the exchange rate battle), unfortunately we found it on our last day there so I didn’t do the best job of documenting what’s happening. The following is a brief photographic recount of some things I saw. Click on all photos to enlarge.
Bloomington, Indiana is the home of Indiana University weighing in with nearly 42,500 students, taking up almost 60% of the town’s population. Known extensively for their unparalleled sense of school pride, every spring students ready themselves for a cycling event of epic proportions: the Little 500. Modeled after the Indianapolis 500, the race began in 1951 with students putting together a track race in which fraternities and independent teams (University-affiliated, of course) could compete. A solid few weeks of events and partying built themselves around the main event of the men’s track race on a Saturday in April every year. The women’s race was added later which takes place the day before, along with ‘Miss-n-Out’ (taking place two weeks prior) which is an elimination-style track race dropping the last rider to cross the finish line every lap.
A running of the race in the 70s.
