Blisland, Cornwall, England

Helland, Cornwall, England
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helland
About 3.2 km (2 miles) apart as the crow flies:

Or 5.3km driving:

The main route into Cornwall is the A30, and you see the signs to them at successive junctions.
Who knew Bliss and Hell were so close together?

Gentrification is a poor analogy since the web is not zero sum unlike physical space. Attention is limited though and that has shifted away from websites like this so maybe it's gentrification of attention
Feels like saying "Casino's are the gentrification of wealth". Not disagreeing with you. It's just the modern web is a trap. A game you will lose, as your attention is abused, misdirected and monetized.
Sadly, I think we're the only ones that pine for the old web.

#84I would like there to be one for the city of Turin.

#85How about a useful list, like, of entrances to the platform for the Hogwarts Express. They'd look very similar I imagine?

I'm sure it's older than that, seeing it again has triggered a memory from I'm sure the late 90s.
According to the blog of the man who runs it, it was from 2002-2005: https://misterirvine.wordpress.com/2011/07/15/explain-entran...
Also from his blog:
« I am a husband and father. The reason I was born was to become my daughter’s father. I was wise enough to notice and appreciate at the time, the slow ecstatic joy my child’s early years were giving me. So too have her later years. I will die happy. »
Beautiful.

#89> "© J H Irvine 2002" Yes. This is a taste of what the web was like before it became shit. And it's the way it should be again. Weird, quirky, fun, no ad-tech, no trying to hard sell anything. God, I miss this era.
Part of the problem is information discovery is dominated by big tech, between Google and social platforms.
Mojeek is an alt search engine with an independent index that returns this site so obv indexed.

I see another one there for Dutch locations

I know this location well. It leads to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_Palace_(High_Level)_ra...
which was one of the "abandoned places" I loved to explore in my youth. I always suspected there were infernal forces at play in that area.
