I really wish they would learn how to build these little neighborhood shopping centers with pedestrians in mind instead of just people who drive here. Of course with it sitting on this dumb ass intersection where to two lane roads become a serious six lane monstrosity to cross in all directions with no outline pedestrian crossing zones and broken sidewalks on one side and none on the other well then of course #urbanism #fixmycity

A weird intersection of street that crosses other at a 45° angle that doesn't have any outline pedestrian crosswalks and is likely way too wide for its intended purpose in this neighborhood as seen from one of the acute angles in the intersectionShopping plaza in my neighborhood that has a grocery store and dentist and a few restaurants in it that would be better off without huge parking lot that is focused in the shot

📸 Bonus prompt 1 for #mbapr, bubble, suggested by @paulrobertlloyd

My then 13 year old son is captured in a playful moment, blowing a large, pink bubble gum bubble. The bubble is so big it almost obscures his face, highlighting the fun and lighthearted nature of the activity

📸 Day 29 #mbapr #photochallenge: drift a sweet matte black E28 BMW M5 seen at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2020 I had a very mild looking version of this same car about 20 years ago that I would sometimes drift… usually inadvertently whenever it snowed 😜

Day 28 of the #mbapr Photoblogging Challenge: community by @stupendousman@micro.blog. Carrying the omikoshi portable shrine through my part of Tokyo and getting close to the community.

The image depicts a traditional Japanese festival scene where participants are carrying a mikoshi (portable shrine). The mikoshi is elaborately decorated in gold with white lanterns and red accents. Participants are dressed in traditional festival attire, some wearing headbands, while others are in casual clothes. They are lifting the mikoshi on their shoulders using two long wooden beams. In the background, there are residential buildings and power lines under a cloudy sky.

📸 Day 27 #mbapr #Photoblogging #PhotoChallenge. I still feel the surprise and joy after getting this bag of my favorite chips from my hometown by a friend.

I wear a very happy suprised look on my face after being given a bag of Red Hot Ripplets spicy potato chips that you can only get in St Louis, but in Tokyo a few years ago.
