In yesterday's special Tuesday edition of "Where Am I Wednesday?" we were in southwest Richardson, specifically in the Richardson Heights neighborhood where the City of Richardson has encroached with new sign toppers branding residential streets as "Heights." What is wrong with the "Richardson Heights" sign toppers already in use, you may ask? That's the subject of today's speculation.

On December 2, 2024, the Richardson City Council appointed eleven members to a Charter Review Commission, as required by law every ten years to review and suggest changes to Richardson's City Charter. Here, in a series of posts, I am presenting my own suggestions.
"Hot springs still bubble.
Terraces gleam in the sun.
A city of spas."

| From 2024 05 15 Hierapolis |
Today's photo-of-the-day is from the ruins of Hierapolis, Turkey, a city that dates back to ancient Rome, and before that to ancient Greece, and even before that to peoples lost in the Iron Age. What drew everyone to this site then, and still does today, are the hot springs and the limestone terraces deposited by them. Even today tourists soak in the hot pools. The Romans went all out at Hierapolis, building a city that exceeded 100,000 inhabitants between 100-200 CE.
P.S. I first visited Hierapolis in 1977. It looked great then and it's even better today, if more crowded.
Bonus photos after the jump.
