Some of these are sort of yellowish (if you have a good imagination).

2/27/23. Yellow brick Road

I have had the Elton John song as an ear worm all day long! Only had time for a short ride, but I found my version of the yellow brick road on my ride. The yellow brick road represented hope, and opportunity to learn through challenges. These gorgeous daffodils, many of which have not yet bloomed, represent hope to me that spring is on its way!

The pattern here looks like two intersecting roads, and they are predominantly yellow.

Did the NY State Military Academy decommission the road to make the Admissions Building?

2/27/23: Yellow Brick Road

There is a lot going on in this mural of the Mt Vernon Recreation Center in the Del Ray hood of Alexandria, including a “yellow brick road” in the lower left hand corner, between the lemonade stand and the kid on a bike.

Raised yellow bricks help the visually-impaired when crossing roads

I always love how these look like Lego bricks. I found out recently that they are called “truncated domes”. Who knew?

My understanding (based on something a roommate in college said) is that A The tin man is industrial workers. B The scarecrow is farmers. C. The cowardly lion is William Jennings Bryant. D. The wicked witch of the east is the banks, and of the west is I think water interests (killed when water is provided?) E. silver slippers on the yellow brick road is a bimetallic currency. The emerald city is the false dream of paper money. Dorothy is good citizens looking for the truth. I forget who the wizard is. Or who the munchkins are

Yup!

While we were riding our bikes on the Yellow Brick Road today, I took a picture of this beautiful historic stone wall.

Good bye yellow brick road. Continuing with the economic interpretation of OZ (ounce), this is where some of our gold was stored before 1935. After we went off the gold standard it was moved away from major cities to Fort Knox, etc.

“Where the U.S. government kept its actual treasure, before Fort Knox.

“The government moved its gold and silver reserves in 1935, per the Treasury policy to move large gold deposits out of cities exposed to enemy attack. The so-called “deep storage” loot is now stored at Treasury facilities in Fort Knox, Denver, and West Point. Contrary to some conspiracy theories, we know exactly how much gold is at each location.”

“The Rogers vault was replaced by a larger cash room in 1909 under the Treasury Department’s south plaza. The newer subterranean space had double-story shelving, similar to library stacks. According to the Washington Post, the only way to get in was “by way of a tiny hydraulic elevator, which is protected by an iron door, opening almost at the elbow of the chief of the division of issues, who keeps the key in his desk.””

2/27/23 – yellow brick road

I was sure I’d seen yellow brick sidewalks at Tinner Hill in falls church – but when I got there it was buildings that were built with yellow brick, and all the sidewalk bricking was red.

I found this great mural on my way back, though, that really looked like the yellow brick road. The hot air balloons make it even more suggestive of the wizard of Oz.

Now if I’d just remembere to post it here before I went to sleep….. [emoji2358][emoji1744]
