The Mood & State Of European TV Detectives - Mapped
--
H.T @Alasdair Beckett-King
I do love my European detective shows – Salvo Montalbano in Sicily, Kurt Wallander in Sweden, Saga Norén & Martin Rohde in Denmark AND Sweden, ‘Piet’ Van der Valk in Amsterdam, Endeavour Morse in Oxford, Jules Maigret in Paris, Geordie Keating and a revolving Anglician vicar in Cambridge & surrounds, and many more
I have been lucky enough to visit Ragusa & Punta Secca, Amsterdam, and Oxford – but still need to get to the Scandiwegian locations, Paris & Cambridge…

Backyard Birder Opps 23h ago

Just heard about the #Broadway musical Suffs, about women’s suffrage movement, based on actual people and events. PBS is showing it, “in the manner of Hamilton,” and the first half has been so compelling and well-acted that I am off to bed 90 mins later than usual!

#SF #Housing #AAPI

My family owns an #SRO (a single room occupancy "hotel") in #Chinatown & has owned it since the 1940's.

SROs are a uniquely San Francisco type of residence that have been in use long before the 1980's as the intro of this #PBS video "Home is a Hotel" states but whether you're familiar with SROs or not this video about life in SROs in SF is worth watching.
