Francisco Balagtas was born on April 2, 1788.
Lombard Street can be found just off U.S. Route 101 in San Francisco, California. It is famous for being the"crookedest" street in the world because of the 8 sharp turns found on it that are called "switchbacks".
Herb Caen, a San Francisco Chronicle newspaper columnist, coined the term "hippie" around 1962. The words "hip", "hep", and "hipster" were extant, but Caen was the first to write the word "hippie".In 1963 Caen mentioned in his column a bizarre Chevy van (1956) that had lots of swirly colors and what not, but also had the slogan, "Don't laugh, your daughter may be inside", written on the side, which elicited lots of laughs and finger pointings when seen on the streets of San Francisco. He called it a "crazy hippie van".
I don't know any history about who was called "little sparrow" like, folk tales or anything. But I know that in Fable 2 The female character of the story was named "Little Sparrow". Her sister called her that before she bites the big one. Yay! Video gameage!
The building that was started in 1724 and originally called the "convento" is the Convent of San Francisco in Mexico City. It served as a Franciscan monastery and played a significant role in the religious and cultural life of the city. Over the years, it has undergone various renovations and expansions, becoming an important historical landmark. Today, it is known for its baroque architecture and houses various cultural institutions.
Supporters of Francisco Franco during the Spanish Civil War and his subsequent dictatorship were primarily known as "Nationalists." They were often associated with conservative, monarchist, and fascist ideologies. The opposing faction, known as the Republicans, included a coalition of leftist forces, which Franco's Nationalists fought against from 1936 to 1939. After winning the war, Franco's regime was characterized by its authoritarian rule and repression of dissent.
