Atlanta is probably my least favorite airport in the US.
But it has trains!

It has to . . . 15 to 20 minutes between terminals.

Seattle has "trams".
And the clue was --- the handsomest one.

I remembered the photo of you, you posted of yourself, volunteering at Father Joe's Thanksgiving dinner I believe, at the old SoCal soccer site . . . along with some photos of barns and the like.
Would this be the place for me to post my reunion pics too?
Thanksgiving Dinner volunteer, but not Father Joe's. We have been doing it for years because my wife knows the organizer. Last year we didn't because we went to the kids' house in Sacramento.
What is this thread's title?

Seems my memory is clouded by personal experience, but I was close.
Espola's newest neighborhood....
Oddly enough, in answering Aff''s query, you once again answer with a question.
The answer would depend on what you consider a neighborhood.
If it is a true neighborhood the answer should be 'absolutely post your pictures'.
Nice pic e.
You missed one. Clearly one of your kin.
Dont feel bad. I just recently found out I have a brother I didnt know about.

Family reunion picture, me with brothers and sisters --
Retired Civil Engineer (Alaska), retired computer scientist (California), retired IC process technician (Vermont), retired electrical engineer (Pennsylvania), working elementary school teacher (lives in New Hampshire/works in Vermont), retired school librarian (Vermont).
The occasion for the reunion was my father's recent passing. It would have been his 92nd birthday. We had a graveside ceremony in what may be the prettiest little cemetery in the world --
My sister the school teacher reading a poem about Dads.
After everyone said what they wanted and the local minister (who had attended elementary and high schools for which my father was Superintendent) said a few churchy words (starting with "I look up mine eyes to the hills, from which cometh my help"), we picked wild flowers to put on the box. I found some wild strawberries in the grass and shared them with my brother (the one in overalls) and my daughter (who had never had wild strawberries before).
Then we moved a few miles north to the nicest restaurant around for a dinner, where I laid out some photographs, scrapbooks, and the like gathered by my parents over the years.
Businesses that deserve kudos from this trip --
Green Acres Cabins on Lake Willoughby, Vt. We shared a lakeside cabin with my brother and his wife, and the kids stayed in another across the road up at the edge of the woods.

Parker Pie Company, in West Glover Vt, voted the best pizza in Vermont several times. The number of cars in the parking lot (and overflow lot down at the volunteer fire dept. lot) usually exceeds the population of West Glover.

Hill Farmstead Brewery in Craftsbury, Vermont. You can tell when the road goes from Greensboro to Crafstbury a couple of miles down the hill because the 2-lane asphalt road suddenly becomes lane and a half gravel. After the Hill family farm accepted the USDA dairy herd reduction buyout offer, they converted their farm to a brewery, claiming unique qualities of their untreated well water. The tap/tasting room on the left offers 25-deciliter sample glasses of whatever is on tap, and sells bigger glasses for consumption on site. The bottle retail room in the center sells bottles and kegs of recent brews, and will fill growlers and small personal kegs - we bought my brother a few bottles of their latest version - "Mary", named after a great-grandmother.
Delta Airlines - thumbs up Sunday, meh on Thursday.

I said to the waitress "This is too good a restaurant for so small a town". She replied "We're packed almost every night".
