Fire Marks in Annapolis

When I was in Annapolis I saw some oval plaques with images of trees, eagles, engines, etc. on some of the old buildings. I thought they were something exclusive to Annapolis, but when I returned to my suburb I found a couple of them there and realized it was something […]

In Annapolis the vast majority of anchor plates – or in this case I should use the term “masonry stars” – are star shaped. Many buildings from the city are from the eigteenth and nineteenth centuries and therefore there is a high concentration of them. And here is a lovely anchor-shaped anchor plate

My favorite house in Vlasna Strikha (Własna Strze My favorite house in Vlasna Strikha (Własna Strzecha) -- a housing development built for city officials and civil servants in 1928-1932. The project was inspired by Ebenezer Howard's "garden city" concept. Architect Władysław Klimczak together with Maksymilian Koczur and M. Kolbuszewski designed 24 private homes in Polish Manor style (styl dworkowy) featuring volutes, porticos, and two-level hipped roofs. Today, many of the houses have undergone renovations and have lost their authentic look. This particular one, nestled behind the lush foliage, remains well-preserved.

I used to think the inscription "Lwoska" (adjectiv I used to think the inscription "Lwoska" (adjective from the Polish Lwów) on this series of old storm drains was an example of a misspelling of the word "Lwowska." But after learning that "Krakoska" was used in the Polish local regional dialect, I also learned the same was true for Lviv.

Galician Ukrainian Diaspora Language, Part II: Str Galician Ukrainian Diaspora Language, Part II: Stress
When I moved to Ukraine, I had to learn not only a new vocabulary, as many of the words I grew up speaking in the diaspora were dialectisms, Polonisms, or archaisms, but also adjust the pronunciation of certain words. The stress placement in Galician Ukrainian differs from that of standard Ukrainian spoken in Ukraine today. In some cases, the stress patterns in Galician are closer to Polish than to modern Ukrainian.
It's important to note that the stress patterns of Ukrainian words underwent changes during the period of Russification initiated by the 1933 Orthography. However, I am unsure which words precisely had their stress altered as part of Russification and which are specific to the Galician dialect.
Here are examples of words with different stress patterns between Galician and standard Ukrainian. 
Btw, today it's more common to hear this way of pronouncing words in the diaspora, where the Galician dialect has been better preserved than in Galicia itself.
