Welcome to The City of London - Dragons greet you on every street that goes into “The City of London”, it’s the easiest way to tell that you are in the city centre and the oldest part of London (all the way back to the Romans). There are many different kinds of Dragons - this one was definitely the coolest I’ve seen yet. Very ominous.

Why Good Fences Make Bad Neighbors: Annie Leonard’s Backyard Commune
- Annie Leonard wrote in Living, Cities and Communal LivingWhen we were younger we all lived together in a big house in Washington, D.C. One couple moved out west for grad school at UC Berkeley, and over the next two decades, as other houses on the block became available, we all migrated. We tore down the fences in our back yards to have one huge shared garden; because so many in the community are avid gardeners (I’m not), I like to say that I live in a Monet painting with my best friends.
We share Stuff all the time. We only need one barbecue, one table saw, one lawn mower, one fax and scanner. Because we share so much, we buy and consume and throw away less Stuff. Sure, we save money and conserve resources, but the real benefits are not material.
