Louis Sullivan – born 9/3/1856

I have only seen one of his buildings – the Bayard Building in lower Manhattan.

Happy Birthday to architect Louis Sullivan, known as "The Father of Modernism," who was born on this day in 1856. Today I plan to share as many of his buildings as I can. pic.twitter.com/7ZvEmCyG7V

Van Morrison – born 8/31/45

“If I should die in a car wreck
May I have Van Morrison on my tape deck
If I should die in a car wreck
May I have Van Morrison on my tape deck”
