Weekend Links 11-20-20

 Congratulations on making it through another week. Here are a couple of links of interest for your weekend reading:

There used to be a time that renting a movie involved a trip to Blockbuster Video to pick up a VHS tape to play on the VCR at home. Blockbuster might be a thing of the past but there are free video kiosks popping up across the country. 

The true story of the Juliet Club: Verona's love letter writing workshop.

Things you probably didn't know about the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack. 

Time waster of the week: clicking on Random Street View will give you a Google street view of a random street somewhere in the world. Keep clicking next to get a new location. 

Sometimes you never know what you will find: workers in Athens found the bust of an ancient Greek god in the sewer while making repairs. 

Book excerpt: the evolution of espionage fiction from the introduction of the new book The Big Book of Espionage edited by Otto Penzler. 

Spruce up your virtual meeting backgrounds with these downloads from the National Trust.
