@mattblaze@federate.social I think the history of Yerba Buena and Treasure Island is so cool. (Although I always wondered how they thought they were going to manage an airport right below two huge bridges.)
@mattblaze@federate.social There used to be a big Voice of America station near the dumb little town I grew up in, a fenced-off field of giant transmission towers, isolated out in the middle of a vast expanse of tomato fields.
While it was there, it always fleet like a chilling reminder of the stakes & the magnitude of the Cold War; but after it got taken down, I couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic for it.
