Yesterday's London Times
In and Out of Luck in London: Three Stops, Three Stories
Mares and Jen have enjoyed playing a game of luck called “Underground Roulette.” The game is easy to play. Just select a tube stop at random, keep a curious mind, and hit the streets! It’s an engaging way to get a sense of place and all that the city offers.
But, what if we could add the dimension of time, seeing not only the neighborhood as it is, but as it was?
In this episode, we explore the underground stops with stories involving the theme of luck.
London: a city where fame and fortune may await, given talent, drive, privilege, connections, and sometimes it comes down to luck.
Our three stories feature:
- horseshoes, normally associated with good luck, but not this time,
- counteracting the bad luck of the number 13, and,
- when what seems like bad luck can be the best fortune yet.
Along the way, we’ll visit an iconic location synonymous with luxury and spend time with some of the most famous people in modern history.
Follow along on our SHOW NOTES. You’ll find photos, recordings, sources, and ways to find us.
Enjoy playing Underground Roulette. With a little luck, you’ll have a lot of fun!
