Mark’s Sparks Will Fly Blog. Media, motorcycling, music and many more opinionated mutterings from Mark Williams. January 28, 2014. Posted by markswill in About me. If you live or spend much time in London, one of the less edifying spectacles of the post-Xmas silly season has been ‘Bonkers’ Boris Johnson and his good pal Dave ‘Posh Boy’ Cameron bigging up London as a magnet for global tourism in the Evening Standard. Seems to be ‘the Chinese, of course.’ Because in the global economy that we must now ...

Portland – Elliott Smith’s music city – Tammy Tour Guide
https://tammytourguide.wordpress.com/2015/05/27/portland-elliott-smiths-music-city
Unzipping travel and culture. Portland – Elliott Smith’s music city. May 27, 2015. Portland from the air – photo by Nickolas Rossi.
