Kolno, Poland

estimated transgender population: 62*#
(rounded down)
ezs note: The places that "Where's George" goes international! Today, we visit Kolno, Poland. Sadly, there is a terrible black mark on our little town. Before World War II, the town was 70% Jewish. Then the Nazis took over. By the time they were through, there was only one left.
Not one percent.
One person.
Our friends in the Jewish community have vowed to never forget.
We mustn't either.
# The estimated transgender population of .0058 of the United States is limited to that country. Because of the size of that country, it is a good estimate. However, other countries may vary.

One special evening...
Credit: http://www.wirsindpaten.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/i-want-to-participate-960x540.jpg
ezs note: Last night, I was doing my usual thing (blogging, of course) when I saw the familiar face of the manager of Anytime Fitness. He asked if he could sit down, to which I readily agreed. We started chatting, and eventually the subject turned to local issues. He mentioned a bike path which would be placed on Albany Avenue. Intrigued, I asked what organization worked on this. He said he was a member of the Bishops Corner Neighborhood Association. When I asked where the meetings were held, they were directly across the street from me! (Duh...)
Bishops Corner is, as a neighborhood, especially vibrant and active. Of course, the people being so welcoming and friendly doesn't hurt either. However, wherever there is a city or town, there is also a neighborhood... where YOU live. Yeah, I had a stroke. Yeah, I'm in a wheelchair. But I'll be damned if I prevent that from getting involved.
How about you?
