When I was in my teens back in the 1980s, I used to fly TWA. As part of their in-flight entertainment, they showed movies. When the closing credits were rolling, flight attendants served lemonade to passengers. I was wondering what after-movie drinks, if any, were served to passengers aboard Pan Am flights. Anyone know? 2603:7000:8641:810E:EC94:8C1C:C72B:3835 ( talk) 07:01, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
Can anyone decipher the first word in this Estonian Fraktur text? I have the rest of the article under control but I cannot match the first word with any village or area in the county. (ping Cookatoo.ergo.ZooM, Lambiam). -- Soman ( talk) 10:56, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
In our article on the Conservatory of Flowers it says:
During the winter of 1995–1996, a series of large storms exacerbated the ongoing deterioration of the wood structure. The 100 mph (161 km/h) winds blew out 30,000 fogged white glass panes in the conservatory, shattered the white glass dome, and weakened the structure. In addition, 15 percent of the plant collection was lost due to exposure to the cold, wintry air and flying glass.
I was living in the city at that time, and I remember the squalls, but I don’t recall the wind. I also remember that the conservatory was shutdown. Does anyone have any good links to news coverage of this storm? Was the wind storm centered in Golden Gate Park, or did it damage other parts of the city? Viriditas ( talk) 23:58, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
