The relocation of #Merritt College out of Oakland's flatlands and what it meant for #Oakland. Interesting lookback article. https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/when-merritt-moved-18209600.php?

'Do something' #Merritt mayor pleads as patient arrives at closed #ER | Vancouver Sun https://vancouversun.com/health/local-health/do-something-anything-merritt-mayor-pleads-as-critical-senior-at-closed-er-taken-to-kamloops “what really bothers me is they’re plopping nurses and doctors onto the highways, mostly nurses, who are travelling from their community long distances to another community.

“They may be tired from a long shift they’ve just worked, you’re putting people at risk with this type of approach, asking nurses to drive all over the countryside.”

Poking around, looking for other stuff, I came across three 1880s? #photos of #Lake #Merritt, and realized that the #photographer - William Letts Oliver, most likely - shot them one at a time, "panning" right, and that they'd make a good #panorama. So I fed them to a photo stitching program. The photos were taken from the Roland G. Brown residence. According to 1879 city directory, Brown lived on Jackson street, apparently on the shore of the lake. If I place my viewpoint at Lakeside & Jackson in google maps 3d view, I see the same hill profile in the skyline.

I believe that's Oakland Avenue, in the distance, at left.

The #gaillardia, or Blanket #Flower, is native to the #Americas. It’s widespread across the #Americas, including at the #Merritt #Island #Wildlife Refuge, where it flourishes in the salt #marsh. The #blooms are widespread and bright throughout #MINWR. #BlanketFlower, #Wildflower, #FlowersOfMastodon, #Photography, #Photograph, #Photograph

https://www.vancouverisawesome.com/bc-news/hundreds-attend-rally-to-protest-repeated-er-closures-in-merritt-bc-6861773 “When the #ER is closed, residents must go to #RoyalInlandHospital in #Kamloops to receive care — about an hour's drive away.

“Particularly since there’s the Coquihalla Highway where a lot of accidents happen," he said. "To save lives, you take them to the shortest place there is, and that’s #Merritt. And of course, the local citizens need it here." #RuralHealth

Already loving watching #RaceAcrossTheWorld after the first episode of the Canada season.
Much less gamey than The Amazing Race.

A bit puzzled by #Merritt being described as a "tourist hot spot" in the same breath as #Whistler though lol.

Looking forward to more scenes of the participants being absolutely stunned by the immense distances and how impossible it is to traverse them without a vehicle.
