Meet George Jetson...

Wow. This is really disconcerting. The FAA has recently given approval on the first, real flying car. While ultimately very cool, it is a little scary to think that tourists from various locations will be descending (quite literally) on Market Square. Being downtown all day, we get to see some of the most inept displays of vehicle operation one could possibly imagine.

You think backing into a light post is bad? How about getting hung up on the North Church Steeple? About the only good thing about this, that we were able to think of, would be the greater ease with which you could navigate all the downtown one-ways. Although, you have to ask, does this mean you get to zip over the EZ-Pass lanes on 95?

When Denim Travels the World

Check out this video taken of a young woman's travels around the world. As she spans the globe, visiting over 50 countries in two years, the film maker documents the fading of her jeans. Some great images capture the essence of just how we live in our denim...and come to love it.
