He is said to be made from remnants of t-rex fossils. The only thing I could find about the flamingos is that they suddenly appeared and seem to be picking at the bones of the T-rex. http://www.neatorama.com/neatopicto/2014/07/25/Tyrannosaurus-Attacked-by-Flamingos/ Did a search for trex statue flamingos googleplex <br />Have found nothing on the yarn but know from an earlier search challenge that its an example of yarn bombing Added in yarn bombing to the search and came up with nothing.

For the first question - first ...Deb and Anne here. For the first question - first put the coordinates from the picture into google maps and found it was Georgetown (imm. saw Georgetown Univ)so then did a search for Georgetown trolley tracks (that was actually the suggestion from Google). First response was for a blog entitled Forgotten NYC http://forgotten-ny.com/2008/04/the-trolley-tracks-of-georgetown-dc/ where a writer laments about the paving over of trolley tracks in NYC while in Georgetown they wanted to preserve their history. This blog was very informative and even explained the center rail (an electrical conduit). The blog was very thorough but didn't think it was authoritative on its own so searched several other sources. The Washington Post did a story on the train tracks in 2016. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dcs-old-streetcar-system-is-gone-but-miles-of-rails-are-still-down-there/2016/02/01/46c7f32e-c5d2-11e5-9693-933a4d31bcc8_story.html?utm_term=.654aaa8a6e69<br />Will post question 2 separatelyDebra Gottslebenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08074610468240387547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-48725248006753276692018-02-05T12:28:26.458-08:002018-02-05T12:28:26.458-08:00I was reading the news and found this one:

I added [history “P St.”] to the search, which turned up this “Georgetown Trolley Ghosts”: article (oddly from a “Forgotten NY” website, http://forgotten-ny.com/2008/04/the-trolley-tracks-of-georgetown-dc/) that said:<br /><br />>>>Note the third “track” in the center. It is not a track at all, but a conduit. A sliding “shoe” on the underside of the trolley carriage ran along this conduit and took electric power from an underground source along the rail. The Metropolitan, acting on a charge from Congress, began conversion to underground electric power in 1895 and all Metro lines had complied by 1897. Other lines in town used overhead trolley wire and some even used cables, as in today’s San Francisco streetcars.<<<<br /><br />(Is the SF Cable Car connection the “awfully familiar” connection, Dan? )<br /><br />(continuing to quote the “Georgetown Trolley Ghosts” article) … <br /><br />>>>After trolleys were converted to bus lines and eliminated in the early 1960s…<br />Much of the track in D.C. was removed and sold for scrap. … In other places, the track was buried under pavement. … The only remaining visible tracks and conduit in the region are in the center of the cobblestone streets of Georgetown, specifically the 3400 through 3700 blocks of P Street NW and O Street NW.<<< (citing this Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streetcars_in_Washington,_D.C.#Washington_and_Georgetown )<br /><br />The Wikipedia article mentioned that “The (P. St.) line ceased to operate on January 3, 1960, when the Cabin John line (Route 20) was abandoned.”<br /><br />The “Georgetown Trolley Ghosts” article also linked to this 2006 op-ed article in the Georgetown Voice: (http://georgetownvoice.com/2006/11/16/tracking-down-the-dream/) that mentioned: <br /><br />>>>The mere existence of the tracks on O and P St. reveal a political dynamism at work in Georgetown. People are livid that they endure. They argue they are dangerous, unattractive and without historical importance. … I sat in stuffy Georgetown living rooms with penny loafer-clad men who had made post-retirement careers out of a dedication to either the tracks’ preservation or their eradication. … I interviewed grown men who still play with train sets and others who told me with straight-faces that these are the “last remaining conduit tracks in the world” … <<<<br /><br /><br />almadenmikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12636400853368185828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-2412233455251317332018-01-31T08:38:21.292-08:002018-01-31T08:38:21.292-08:001.
