Recently visited Seoul, Korea, and took the subway to Yongsan station and walked over to what is left of the Yongsan Electronics Market (building 21). 1) It still exists. Cool. 2) What's left: Nobody taking their boxes of cables away!

After losing Dark Sky on Android, I discovered Foreca app. Works well in my area in the PNW. One thing I learned is some post processing done by these services are better in some areas than others.
