Many of the older buildings in downtown Belding were replaced with a small enclosed shopping mall (which was like deja vu to me).
It's unfortunate that the storefronts in these buildings seem to be empty.
Established as a brewery by Chuck Hahn in 1986, a handsome conversion of a 19th century factory building, today it is owned by Lion Nathan. Hahn previously worked for Lion Nathan when it was New Zealand Breweries, in New Zealand, and is credited with developing the highly successful Steinlager brew.
Today Hahn is brew master of Malt Shovel, which occupies a similar market positioning to Coopers although with less capacity.

Romania has a relatively large number of castles, out of which The Corvins’ Castle is one of the most beautiful and impressive. It can even be referred to as one of the mostbeautiful medieval castles from Europe. It is also called theHunyad Castle or the Hunedoara Castle (In Romanian –Castelul Corvinilor, Castelul Huniazilor, Castelul din Hunedoara), and it was built in 1446 from the order of the great impaler, known in all over Europe for his great wars with the Ottoman Empire, John Hunyadi (Iancu de Hunedoara). The Castle is one of the biggest built in 15th century Europe. It was built using the Gothic style, but it also has elements from the Renaissance period. The building has unusual elements for the architectural style of Transylvaniafrom that time, due to the fact that it has fortified walls with towers, large interior yards and a bridge over the small river that passes near the castle.
Designed by Raymond Loewy Associates and oened in February 1955, this Lord & Taylor store serves the near western suburbs of Philadelphia at the Bala Cynwyd Shopping Center, located at the intersection of City Line & Belmont Avenue.
It's still remarkably original, though plans are in place to alter the facade and add an adjacent retail building. I'm glad I got here when I did.
Er erhielt seinen Namen am 2. 11. 1805 anläßlich des Berlinbesuchs des russischen Zaren Alexander I. (1777–1825). Früher Ochsenmarkt, dann Exerzierplatz, entwickelte sich der Platz Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts zum größten Berliner Verkehrsknoten. Das Großstadtleben um den Platz beschrieb Alfred Bruno Döblin in „Berlin Alexanderplatz“. Der A. veränderte mehrmals sein Gesicht. So befanden sich hier früher das Königstädtische Theater, die Kaufhäuser Wertheim und Hermann Tietz sowie die Skulptur der Berolina. Ein Wettbewerb von 1929 sollte einen Weltstadtplatz entstehen lassen. Verwirklicht wurde davon nur wenig: man legte einen Kreisverkehr an, und Peter Behrens baute das Alexanderhaus (Nr. 2) und das Berolinahaus (Nr. 1). Im II. Weltkrieges stark zerstört, begann 1964 die weiträumige Neuanlage des Platzes und seine Ausdehnung nach Norden. In dessen Mitte wurden die Weltzeituhr und der Brunnen der Völkerfreundschaft gesetzt. Die Randbebauung erfolgte mit der Kongreßhalle und dem Haus des Lehrers (Nr. 3–4, unter Denkmalschutz), dem Haus der Elektroindustrie, dem Haus des Reisens, dem Hotel Stadt Berlin (heute Forum Hotel Berlin) und dem Centrum-Warenhaus (heute Galeria Kaufhof am Alexanderplatz). Einbezogen wurden Alexander- und Berolinahaus. 1993 fand ein städtebaulicher Wettbewerb zur Neugestaltung statt, den der Architekt Hans Kollhoff (* 1946) gewann. Sein Plan sieht weitgehende Abrisse und den Bau mehrerer 150 m hoher Häuser vor. Die am bzw. unter dem Platz gelegenen Bahnhöfe der U- und S-Bahn stehen unter Denkmalschutz, ebenso die Gebäude Nr. 1–4 und der Brunnen der Völkerfreundschaft. Dem Alexanderplatz als Schauplatz der Politik sind zwei in das Pflaster eingelassene Gedenktafeln gewidmet: Eine Tafel erinnert daran, daß 1848 hier ein Barrikadenstandort war. Eine weitere Tafel mit der Aufschrift „Wir sind das Volk“ bezieht sich auf die mit mehreren hunderttausend Teilnehmern größte Protestdemonstration der DDR am 4. 11. 1989

Now a launderette, this was a beer house until at least the mid-1930s, so presumably the same building (even if the ground floor has been greatly remodelled).

Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, commonly called The Arsht Center, is Florida's largest performing arts center and is located on Biscayne Boulevard in the Omni neighborhood of Downtown, Miami, Florida, United States. It is one of the largest performing arts centers in the United States.
The Center was partly built on the grounds of a former Burdines department store; it was an Art Deco building constructed in 1929, predating the Art Deco hotels on Ocean Drive. It was added to the United States National Register of Historic Places in 1997 as Sears, Roebuck and Company Department Store. However, by 2001, the only surviving part of the original structure was a seven-story tower built by Sears, the space's successor. The department store space itself had been demolished. It was decided to preserve the tower and incorporate it into the new performing arts center.
The Center opened as the "Carnival Center" with a grand opening on October 5, 2006 with many famous performers, politicians and movie stars attending, including Gloria Estefan, Jeb Bush, Andy García and Bernadette Peters.
On January 10, 2008, it was announced that philanthropist and business leader Adrienne Arsht donated $30 million to the facility that would make it financially stable. In recognition for the gift, the former Carnival Center for the Performing Arts was renamed "The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County", or the Arsht Center for short.
Burford Priory and the Lenthall Chapel
On Saturday Lawrence and I went west from Oxford to the historic Cotswold town of Burford.
One feature of the main house (Priory) are two very finely carved giants possibly representing Hercules and Antaeus. They would have supported the Tanfield arms, now replaced by the Lenthall arms. The hairy giant Anaeus has a hare between his feet, possibly a play on the name Harman.
If you wish to know or read more about the Priory and its history may I suggest you get the helpful guide ISBN 1 85943 140 2 Enquiries should be sent to “The History House” in Burford

(CHICAGO, Illinois - 19-26 August, 2011) Veterans wounded in current campaigns, (OEF, OIF, OND, Gulf War) and those retirees of previous wars, participated in a three-day United States Olympic Committee (USOC) and World Sports Chicago training camp followed by the subsequent inaugural Olympic style 2011 Valor Games Midwest in Chicago, Illinois. The confidence and empowerment events sponsored by the Veteran's Administration, World Sports Chicago, USA Paralympics and the Support All Veterans Equally (S.A.V.E) organization embraced the capabilities of participants who at first glance, because of percieved disabilities ranging from severe traumatic brain injuries, loss of limbs, wheelchair confinement and other debilitating ailments are thought to be limited, by introducing them to events such as track & field, archery, winter biathlon challenges, rowing and water activity, to name a few, and Warriors who, like themselves, were stricken ill or injured during active duty. Focusing on existing self-determinations and reinforcing the military's esprit de corps. Jeanette Thompson, a wheelchair athlete and paralympian who was introduced to the throwing events at a USOC Paralympic Military Sports Camp in Rhode Island in 2009 and made a dramatic showing at the 2011 IPC Athletics World Championships in Christchurch, New Zealand in January as a member of Team USA and placing first in several field events in 2010. She was also named 2010 Rookie of the Year in wheelchair basketball by the Augusta Bulldogs. Thompson said these events are an opportunity to be oneself without the misconception of limitations. "Since my injury the stigma associated with being (confined) to two-wheels has been fun to disprove," the gregarious retired Army non-commissioned officer explained. "Now (injured veterans) come together and feel the normalcy of being a team with commonalities, not restrictions, and look beyond societal restrictions and move forward to continue to proudly represent our country in other capacities."

The fort is situated by the bank of the river was the site of the 1895 siege of Chitral, and focus for the bloody intrigues which characterized Chitrali politics, whoever held the fort in effect held power in the kingdom. Colonel James Kelly in 1895 crossed Shandur Pass at the head of an expeditionary force sent to relieve the Brirtish forces besieged in the fort at Chitral. Crossing in April, and faced by shoulder deep snow, the decision to bring artillery pieces looked as if it would doom the entire expedition, although they were to prove crucial later as the force battled towards their goal. Inspired by their commander, Lt Cosmo Stewart, the native regiment dismantled the guns and carried them through the snow. As one British officer pointed out: "Nothing can be said too highly in praise of this splendid achievement. Here were some 250 men, Hindus and Mussalmans, who, working shoulder to shoulder, had brought two mountain guns, with their carriages and supplies of ammunition, across some 20 miles of deep soft snow, across Shandur Pass 12,300 foot high, at the beginning of April, the worst time of the year. Today much of the fort is a crumbling ruin, although parts of it have been restored and are still occupied by the decendants of the royal family. Officially it is closed to the public, though if you ask you may be allowed to look round the abandoned parts. Inside there are five cannons, two dating from the First World War. The best views of the fort are on the way into town from the north, or from across the river.
