Just promise to get me an attending membership in the 2015 Worldcon, and throw in $30, and it's yours. Or best offer.

Since Friday night I have seen 43 states, 3 provinces, and 1 district. I had been at 45 issuing entities over the course of Shabbos and Motzei Shabbos, but this afternoon I went out and saw cars from Montana and Alberta parked on 7th Ave. I don't recall ever seeing an Alberta plate before. Here's a map of the seven states I have not yet seen ( Read more... )

This weekend I saw 41 states, 3 provinces, and 1 district. The extra province (besides QC and ON, which I see regularly) was BC. Here's a map of the nine states I did not see:

I got an early start on last weekend's license-plate quest. On Thursday I walked the six-mile perimeter of the Park Slope Eruv, since the usual inspector was away.

Only one Diplomat plate this week; the country code indicates it belongs to Mexico (the other ( Read more... )

Since Friday evening, I've seen license plates from 38 states, 2 provinces (QC and ON), one district (DC) and one department (Diplomat plates issued by the State Dept; I saw two of these, one from Palau and one from Mexico). Here's a map of the 12 states I have not yet seen. If I see any of them before this Friday afternoon I'll update it; my new ( Read more... )

It's been years since I've done one of these. But about a month ago I resumed my old hobby of observing license plates as I walk around my neighbourhood on Shabbos, and marveling at the diversity they show in where people have come to Brooklyn from. Some of these people are visitors, some are residents who never bothered reregistering their cars ( Read more... )
