NEW "OXFORD CIRCUS/ CROSSING" .... It's about time .... heh?
This was a big event( and long awaited! ) for the great City of London's .... "Oxford Circus" ... so I wanted to post it in this journal. Now to a Texan .... one may wonder ....Why such a big event over a new/ or intersection overhaul? .... because new intersection's and entire complex's go up in town's like Dallas like the season's change. But understand that this particular circus (as other's in London) has a long history ... I mean .... these place's just didnt spring up in the last 50 year's in the middle of some prarie, like here. It's like this town and these historical marker's/ point's were around back when Texas was a State of Mexico, and when Texas was an independent country as well. Alot of history in this town (London).
I am familiar with this area in particular ... which frankly has some really nice part's, and is well kept, and is kind of an international type crossroad's of sort. But this was one of the town's busiest circus' .... and I remember when bobbies/ cop's had to direct pedestrian crossing during peak hour's, just from folk's recklessly trying to dodge traffic, and ignoring electronic sign's .... bullhorn's and all! And it can be a lil bit of a pain in the ass driving around these as well .... especially if your an American. In big sprawling freeway town's for instance like Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, we are spoiled to a degree .... in this town traffic is really tight, very limited as far as density, even NYC is a treat .... I have drove in all ... on a daily basis too. But in London you can alway's go the "Tube" (subway) and it's the best way around town, once you get to know them.So for many folk's in London .... this is a real treat ... and it look's great too!

As long as you can get hot dogs and beer I call that a good time!
Looks like fun.
Yep .... you can find Hot Dog's and a few pint's around the circus! Not too much on the "hot dog" thing .... they had alot of inde eateries ran by middle eastern immigrant's which were my favourite .... Kabob (kind of like a corny dog in a way) stick's and some "Yorkshire Bitter" (ale) on tap.
Damn dude .... love that guitar though .... just it being custom built make's it special!
Later Dude .........
Drums and gongs and costumes, oh my! Quite a big deal over a new crosswalk! And I'm sure the beer was first-rate.
Actually what I read Mr.Infidel, was that it was some Chinese or similar cultural theatric's/ music at the event. But "Oh My" is right about the beer (I hear German's even have better!) but love those beer's/ pint's on tap in that town of Tartan, Yorkshire, Pils, and such .... they were really stout, I mean .... over here we were so gung ho on "light" beer, in the late 80's .... light beer's were few and far between over there, the taste and warmth may not be the best in an American's first opinion, but usually after the first pint .... your ready for the next, then the next, etc! :)
Thanx for droppin by Guy .......
I remember you mentioning you spent some time in Germany .... and said as well they had a nice beer selection Mr.Infidel, as well.
Yep, they do -- and they make ample use of it too.
