London
I decided to take a slightly different route to the grocery store last week and ended up on an old, narrow brick road. About halfway down the block I saw the following blue sign:
I live less than half a mile from it and had no idea this was here. Maybe it is part of the reason that I can count on seeing a Bentley three or four times a day as I walk around the neighborhood.
I often I forget about all of the history in London, and it is the little things that remind me. Another perfect example was while I was getting fitted for a suit. On the wall was a small plaque stating that this was the former site of the Royal Geographical Society and photo from 1874 showing Dr. David Livingstone's memorial in the map room prior to the interment at Westminister Abby.
