From the same reel, circa 1926: other new things along the Hyde Park lakefront, including Promontory Point under construction.

Half of what makes rural/suburban cycling in the Netherlands so safe and pleasant is their extreme commitment to grade separation.
soccer is just a really really good sport. enjoyable to watch (excellent gameplay time to ads time ratio), fun and straightforward to play. easy to explain the rules. essentially a two hour broadcast, a good length.
Interesting event routing, just running express to the ends of the lines -- mostly for remote parking, I guess?
We’re one step away from “as a reminder, players cannot use their hands. That’s why they’re kicking the ball with their feet”
Lol apparently I had a whole thread last World Cup where I also complained about the American announcers
The other half is equal parts top notch wayfinding, high quality pavement, and good treatment at (non-grade-separated) intersections.
