An aging location which closed up in October 2007, moved up the street to a brand new building. This location was home to the state's first Checker's, but lack of popularity was most likely behind the mysteriousness of its closure in 2013.
Today, this site has become an Enterprise car rental branch.

Nuestra Señora de las Nieves
Descripción
El origen del templo fue la capilla doméstica del Colegio Seminario de San Juan, fundado por la Compañía de Jesús en 1579. En 1596, el colegio fue clausurado, no así la capilla que siguió evolucionando en los siglos subsecuentes.
La construcción de la capilla inició en 1581 y fue bendecida en 1585 bajo la advocación de Santa María Mayor, conocida mejor como Nuestra Señora del Pópolo. Después de la clausura del colegio de San Juan, la capilla fue sustituida por un nuevo templo que retomó la advocación. Sin embargo, con el tiempo cambió a la advocación actual de Nuestra Señora de las Nieves. En una casa anexa al templo se estableció provisionalmente un internado jesuita, mientras se disponía de un lugar más amplio. Los temblores de 1696 y 1721 ocasionaron serios daños al templo. Fue hasta el 25 de diciembre de 1765 cuando el obispo Miguel Anselmo Alvarez de Abreu mandó a demolerlo y reedificarlo. Las obras iniciaron en 1770 y fue bendecido el 5 de agosto de 1772, día de Nuestra Señora de las Nieves. El proceso de reconstrucción coincidió con la expulsión de los jesuitas de la Nueva España, hecho que ocurrió a mediados de 1767. Los temblores ocurridos en el siglo XIX y principios del presente causaron algunos daños, sin llegar a afectar la estructura principal. El 9 de enero de 1984 fue declarado monumento histórico.
La fachada principal está integrada por una portada y dos torres con campanario. La portada, de dos cuerpos y remate, tiene elementos con características del renacimiento y del barroco. El primer cuerpo presenta la entrada al templo, compuesta con arco de medio punto y jambas molduradas; un monograma de la Virgen María adorna la clave del arco. A los lados del acceso hay columnas de fuste estriado y capitel corintio; sobre éstas un entablamento detallado con recuadros. El segundo cuerpo tiene la ventana coral, octagonal y abocinada, flanqueada por columnas de fuste tritóstilo.
Sobre la ventana está un marco moldurado que contiene un escudo labrado. Arriba del marco existe un nicho, con la imagen de Nuestra Señora de las Nieves, enmarcado por pilastrillas de capitel corintio y un entablamento. El remate es un cornisamento curvo y roleado, donde está un emblema papal y una cruz de cantera.
Las torres son lisas. Los campanarios, de un solo cuerpo, tienen vanos de medio punto, pilastras lisas, cornisamentos y cupulín con linternilla.
La portada lateral más pequeña tiene características semejantes a la principal; está compuesta por vano de acceso con arco de medio punto y jambas molduradas; a los lados, columnas de fuste estriado y capitel jónico, y arriba un entablamento. Sobre este último un nicho enmarcado por columnas y entablamento.
El interior tiene planta arquitectónica de cruz latina. Cuenta además con dos capillas laterales, abiertas en el muro sur de la nave, dedicadas a San Antonio de Padua y a la Virgen del Perpetuo Socorro. Las cubiertas, en general, son de bóvedas vaídas, de cañón corrido y cúpulas sobre tambor y pechinas.
El motivo esencial del interior son los retablos barrocos, en su variante salomónico y estípite, propio del siglo XVIII. Están ubicados en los transeptos y en las capillas laterales, terminados en madera tallada y chapeada. La composición de los retablos incluye, además de columnas salomónicas y estípites, cornisamentos, nichos, marcos y abundantes relieves vegetales. El retablo del transepto o brazo derecho está dedicado a Nuestra Señora de las Nieves, cuya escultura, al centro, está rodeada por seis pinturas al óleo que escenifican la Pasión de Cristo. El del transepto izquierdo, dedicado al Divino Rostro, aloja ocho pinturas al óleo.
Los retablos de las capillas están dedicados a San Antonio de Padua y a la Virgen del Perpetuo Socorro. El primero aloja catorce pinturas al óleo.
La capilla anexa al templo fue construida entre 1915 y 1920.
Localización
Se encuentra a 6 cuadras al Noreste de la plaza central (Zócalo) de la ciudad capital, en la esquina que forman la Av. Morelos y Pino Suárez.

June 26, 2018 - "The Church of Hallgrimur, also known as Hallgrimskirkja, is a Lutheran church located at Reykjavik, Iceland. It sits high on top of a hill located within the center of the city. It is also considered as one of Reykjavik's most striking landmarks and the country's largest church.
The Church of Hallgrimur was named after a famous Icelandic poet and clergy man, Hallgrimur Petursson, composer of the Passion hymns that is still being sung today. The design for the church was commissioned to state architect Guojon Samuelsson in 1937. The design was intended to resemble the natural landscape of Iceland with its volcanoes, ice caps and basalt columns.
After the design for the church was completed, construction of the structure began sometime in 1945. It took around 38 years to build the church which was finally completed in 1974. Its nave was consecrated in 1986.
The church tower stands 74.5 meters or 244 feet high, making it the tallest building not only in Reykjavik but in the whole of Iceland. It stands in sixth place when it comes to being the tallest human made structure in Iceland. The top five are all communications masts built in Iceland.
The main feature of the church is its imposing tower which is uniquely designed to resemble the basalt column common in the country. Visitors may be able to come up the church tower via an elevator. As the tallest building in Reykjavik, it also acts as an observation tower where people can get the best views of the city and the surrounding mountains.
The church is primarily built out of poured concrete and follows expressionist architecture in terms of style. Its interiors are considered simple and features minimal design in line with the Lutheran tradition. The church also houses a large pipe organ consisting of a 50 foot case and 5,275 pipes" Text from the following website: www.architravel.com/architravel/building/church-of-hallgr...
This photo is an excellent view of the Cundle dock (Cundletown near Taree NSW) free of water with the gates in place and after the frame work has been constructed with vessels waiting to enter and work to commence. The crane and boiler shed can both be seen on the river bank each side of the dock.
Vessels to be worked on were floated in at high tide and held in place to settle on a timber frame work, which had been previously built for the occasion, as the tide receded, the vessel settled on the frame.
At low tide, 10 ft high gates were put in place across the entrance to the Dry Dock, then a steam driven engine driving a water pump was started to pump the remainder of the water out into the river, to keep the floor of the Dry Dock dry while the vessel was worked on.
At the completion of the repairs the gates were cracked open a small amount, to allow the water to enter and refloat the vessel.
The gates were then fully opened allowing the vessel to be released into the river when the tide was high.
First dry dock:
The first Dry dock (sometimes referred to as dry-dock or drydock and in some cases were called clay docks) was built at Sydney’s Cockatoo Island in 1834 followed by Morts Dock in the 1850’s.
Smaller docks were built on the northern rivers, including the Kempsey Dock on the Macleay River and the Cundle Dock, near Taree on the Manning River.
Construction:
1888 -1891
As part of a dock-building program in New South Wales Northern Rivers District towards the end of the nineteenth century, the Department of Public Works resumed three acres of land in the Parish of Cundle, on the northern bank of the Dawson River, just upstream from the junction with the Manning River.
Tenders were called in December 1888 for the construction of the Cundle dock and a tender accepted in March 1889. Work commenced and, by May of 1891, a 2 ton crane was installed, and the dry dock became operational.
Operation:
1898-1905
The dry dock played a major role in keeping the large dredges, such as the Rho, Charybdis, Ulysses and Pluto fully maintained to keep the shipping channels and bar at Harrington navigable.
The dock was also used for repair and maintenance of the numerous main roads cable ferries, and tender vessels.
In July of 1904 the Manning River Times reported that the schooner Australia , “which was thought would become a total wreck on the north beach at Harrington, was successfully re-floated on Friday night last, and is now safely moored inside the river. When the S.S. Manning has been overhauled in the Cundle Dock, the Australia will be floated in for repairs.”
A new Caretaker's residence was erected at the dock in 1904. Mr J. Buckingham moved in to the residence in August 1904 and took up the role as acting caretaker, in addition to his duties of repairing punts.
Dock enlarged:
1907
Due to the increase in size of vessels entering the dock, it was found necessary to also increase the size of the dock.
Tenders were called in June, and by early 1908 the dock was extended by 20 ft in length and widened by a further 12 ft.
The dry dock ended up being around 152 ft in length x 40 ft wide x 24 ft in height at the high tide water level (equivalent to about the size of a modern day Olympic swimming pool).
Railway signals the end of water transport:
1913 - 1940
Vessels had been able to travel up the river as far as Wingham but, with the arrival of the railway at Taree on the 5th February 1913, a lot of freight, produce and passengers were then able to be transported to Sydney more efficiently by rail.
Less shipping movements in turn saw the reduction of dredging operations and maintenance work on the dredges working the river. Only one dredge remained. The only vessels that remained to be serviced were the one dredge, some river droghers, and the cable operated passenger ferries that remained on the river.
With the opening of the Martin Bridge spanning the Manning River at Taree on the 18th May 1940, the largest vehicular ferry on the river was now also made redundant.
Management handed over to Manning Shire:
1949
As the use of the Cundle dry dock dwindled, the Public Works Department handed over the operations to the control of the Manning Shire Council.
Dry Dock filled in:
1970’s
Eventually the small vehicular ferries were all removed from service, and replaced by timber bridges - later to be upgraded to concrete. The era of the once thriving dry dock at Cundle had come to the end. The dock was filled in and the land reclaimed.
The last remaining caretaker of the Council Depot that stood beside the dock, Mr Fenwick, recalls the filling in of the site.
Along with large amounts of scrap steel and timber, excavated soil from the road works at the Dawson River Bridge, were used to reclaim the old dock site.
Today, houses now stand on the riverbank, with very little evidence of the dry docks' existence, other than a few remnants of rotting timber and rusty chain embedded in the muddy banks of the Dawson River.
1999
Plaque:
A small plaque erected by the Greater Taree City Council in 1999, now marks the entrance of the old Cundle Dock & Depot.

The inscription reads:
Location of the Dept of Public Works Dry Dock & Depot
Established in 1888 on 3 acres of land between No’s 8 & 16.
This dock was used to repair main roads ferries and river barges.
Dry dock filled in the early 1970’s, a Brick Kiln was also located in this area.
Donated by the land owners of the Dockyard Estate.

This is quite an interesting story, so before you decide you want to be a queen here is a note of caution....
Mary Stuart, known to history as Mary, Queen of Scots, was one of the most fascinating and controversial monarchs of 16th century Europe. At one time, she claimed the crowns of four nations - Scotland, France, England and Ireland. Her physical beauty and kind heart were acknowledged even by her enemies, yet she lacked the political skills to rule successfully in Scotland. Her second marriage was unpopular and ended in murder and scandal; her third was even less popular and ended in forced abdication in favor of her infant son. She fled to England in 1568, hoping for the help of her cousin, Elizabeth I. Her presence was dangerous for the English queen, who feared Catholic plotting on Mary's behalf. Mary never met her cousin and remained imprisoned for the next nineteen years. She was executed in 1587, only forty-four years old. By orders of the English government, all of her possessions were burned. In 1603, upon Elizabeth's death, Mary's son became king of England as James I.
There is a bit of mystery about the origin or the statue and naming of this property in Fleet Street London.. Best i can make out is that It appears that the building dates back to 1905. A nearby pub sign says "the building next door, Mary Queen of Scots House was built in 1905. The statue of Mary Stuart a romantic idea of the developer Sir John Tollemache MP, who was a great admirer of Mary Q of S." In addition, the building was designed for a Scottish Insurance Company
In 1960 the townhall was completed. A cheap construction and ugly to look at. Now they want a new one. Normally, the townhall is a historic building in the old town. Not so in Altstätten. It will be part of a new building project. Switzerland, Aug 6, 2013.
Ended up in Northwood again and though I would spend a little time on main street and the "Hen House" with the big camera. Don't know about these two, looks like they are trying to quickly pass the Hen House unnoticed.
A short road trip back from Mason City a couple of weekends ago. This takes us up the back roads to the norther border and back south again from Silver Lake. Enjoy the ride.
Het Apollo House is een kantoorgebouw aan de Apollolaan en de Stadionweg in Amsterdam-Zuid. Het Apollo House is sinds 2004 een rijksmonument.
Het is in 1937-1939 gebouwd naar een ontwerp van Dirk Roosenburg als hoofdkantoor van de Rijksverzekeringsbank (RVB), later genaamd Sociale Verzekeringsbank, die hier tot 1990 bleef. Het bestaat uit een 10 meter hoog ringgebouw en een 40 meter hoog gebouw op een as van de ring. Het heeft een staalskelet. Aanvankelijk waren de gevels bekleed met geglazuurde keramische platen, deze zijn in 1968 vervangen door witte platen van travertijn. Het gebouw is ook bekend onder de bijnaam 'Oceaanstomer'.
Het gebouw werd op 20 november 1939 geopend door de Nederlandse minister van sociale zaken, Jan van den Tempel, die de architect Roosenburg bevorderde tot Officier in de Orde van Oranje-Nassau.
Het symmetrische gebouw heeft een markante positie in het Plan-Zuid op de hoek van de Apollolaan en de Stadionweg, de hoofdwegen in deze buurt. Aan de achterkant loopt de Gerrit van der Veenstraat in het verlengde van de as.
De boeg steunt aan de voorkant (aan de hoek van Apollolaan en Stadionweg) op een paar zuilen die de monumentale, overdekte toegang tot het gebouw markeren, waar de bezoeker beschutting vindt. In deze ruimte bevinden zich twee hoge bronzen beelden: De Beschermer en Handhaver van de Sociale Wetgeving (1954) van Hildo Krop,
en De Beschermster van de Sociale Zorg en Gerechtigheid (1954) van Han Wezelaar. (bron: wikipedia)
