On January 9, 1793: "Blanchard made the first balloon flight in North America, on January 9, 1793, when he ascended from the Washington Prison Yard in Philadelphia and landed in Gloucester county, New Jersey. This flight, observed by President George Washington, spurred interest in ballooning in the United States

Also, has anyone else had the experience that the next day after a particular subject is the challenge, you see them everywhere? Today I saw bells all over the place!

Synchronicity!!! If it’s meaningful to you, you’ll find a pattern

I wanted to find a commemorative marker for Blanchard's flight, which took off from Washington Square/Washington Prison Yard, but I couldn't find anything like that. You all are stuck with a boring store awning -- "Flower & Balloon Boutique".

I remembered passing this happy 80th birthday banner with balloons, and thankfully they're still up! I hope he had a great 80th!

1/9/21 - Balloons

A twofer day with Public Art and Picture of the day. I had an impossible time finding the mural. I had an address but that was not the mural site address. Without the keen eyesight of KBikeVA, I would still be stuck in OneLoudoun. (now to continue my story) a hard time tying the strings to the bike, but I was fortunate not to have the bike float up to the sky!!
