Looks like Fairmount bagels in Montreal. One of the two bagel institutions here, along with St. Viateur bagels.

I was hoping that the last shot was going to be that of a screen with a windows installer running.

But like, Vista or something

This is the most sarcastic use of chatGPT I’ve ever seen in a reply. I didn’t even have to bother reading it.

Huh…

Looks like that image specifically is from a fan-made version of Phase II, but yeah you’re spot-on.

I knew about Phase II, and that elements of it were merged into TMP and TNG, but I only remembered the triangular Enterprise concept that was later the basis of Discovery.

This all sent me down a rabbit hole where I learned things like Xon (originally a replacement for Spock) became Saavik, and Decker and Ilia were the basis for Riker and Troi.

Thanks!

That’s the built in leaf blower to make sure that the runway is clear for autumn landings. Most airports have their own de-leafing crews, but not all of them.

They were mandated to be installed after a string of landing crashes in the 90s got people making “fall” jokes too often, which upset the FAA.
