sure :)
i posted about New York recently (the first link below the fold) & the history went far back enough to mention New Amsterdam. there's a song that riffs on this novelty (European colonization of the Americas under the banner of 'new' names, New Sweden was a thing for a bit, etc.) [wiki2]. the song references the name change of Istanbul, so Abehammerb Lincoln requested a post on this city.
i found there's a Frida Kahlo exhibit opening there soon, that's the FPP. many other people have posted about Istanbul previously, so i wove together those threads, below the fold, in the same way i did with the Kahlo threads above, previously
