The "Tackle Shop" in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire. Situated on the Town's Bridge Road, this is, in fact, the Tackle Shop's second home. Founded in the 1950s in Tooley Street as a specialist angling shop, the business was taken over in the early 1960s by Bill Marriott & his wife. They built it up into being a highly successful business, and when Bill decided to retire, he had no difficulty in selling the shop on to Trevor & Carole Moss, who took over in around 1977.
The fortunes of the shop continued to rise, and quickly expanded into the next door premesis, but by around 1983 the shop had outgrown it's Tooley Street home, and this building was purpose built with the help of a new business partner.

Constatación histórica, que como otras relacionadas con hechos y personajes, otorgan gran valor a la ciudad de Madrid. Toparse de pronto en cualquier rincón con esta clase de constataciones, resulta altamente emocionante.

Cudahy Tower
925 E. Wells St.
Built: 1909
Meat packer and philanthropist Patrick Cudahy built the south portion of the building as apartments in 1909. His sons added the taller northern half in 1929. The buildings are made of white marble, glazed brick and terra cotta. The original portion was called "Buena Vista Flats," and was designed by Ferry & Clas. The sons' portion was designed by Holabird & Root of Chicago.
University Club
924 E. Wells St.
Built: 1926
This private club, overlooking Lake Michigan, is built of red brick and trimmed with Bedford limestone. The copper-faced lounge was added atop the building in 1953.
The original architect, John Russell Pope (1874-1937), also designed the Washington D.C. buildings: National Archives, National Gallery of Art, and the Jefferson Memorial.
University Club Tower
825 N. Prospect Avenue
Built: 2007
This 36-story condo tower was designed by the Chicago office of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill architects. It was the tallest residential building in Wisconsin when it was built. The building to the right is the Kilbourn Tower.
This building is still in use as a hotel but what not many people know is a church and cemetary sat on this spot. The church was gone by the time they wanted to put up the hotel in the late 1960s but the cemetary was still there. The graves were dug up and moved where i don't know. I have photos of the church yard when i find them i'll be sure to put them on.

Otts Building, c.1880, Talladega, Alabama. This building was built by attorney Lee M. Otts, who was a son of Presbyterian minister John Otts. In the 1930's, Weaver-Ragsdale (Kyser Weaver and George Ragsdale, brother's-in-law) operated a dry goods store here. (source: Vern Scott Collection, Talladega Public Library)
The Otts Building is located on the North Side of the Courthouse Square. The Talladega Courthouse Square has been designated as a Historic District and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Promenade des Anglais (Walk of the English) stretches along the seafront between the beach and the road. It is constantly busy with promenaders, dog-walkers, joggers, cyclists, skaters and sight-seers sitting on the iconic blue chairs to enjoy the deep azure of the sea in the Baie des Anges.
In the late 18th century, the English adopted Nice, then a sleepy town, as a place to escape the harsh English winter. One particularly nasty winter, many beggars from northern France drifted south to Nice so the wealthy English put them to work building a beachfront walkway. The City of Nice stepped in to increase the scale of the project. These days the locals just call it The Promenade.
North American Rayon Corp was a one time a HUGE complex that produced rayon and polystyrene products from the 20's through the 90's. The North American and the neighboring Bemberg plants have sat abandoned for over a decade. A local told me that In the early 2000's the North American plant was incinerated in a fire that took 8 days to extinguish. Only a few buildings remain.
Most of the land has been redeveloped for big box stores which now sit adjacent to these harbingers of what once was America's strength- manufacturing. Much like my own hometown, and so many other American towns, Elizabethton manufactures nothing of note. The only jobs that remain are retail jobs that don't pay a living wage. Yay for free trade!!! Let's keep crushing the American economy.
While I do enjoy industrial exploration immensely, sites like these are a poignant reminder something has gone terribly wrong with the American economy. Our way of life is crumbling right before our eyes, just like these beautiful, great behemoths of manufacturing and industry.
Still trying to get this snow thing figured out. Captured raw, preserved hightlights a bit in raw until blown-out values were controlled, then exported to tiff.
The snow doesn't seem as nicely brighty-whitey as I'd like though. Don't remember if exp. comp. was on for this shot. If it had been, I was setting it to +1 on that day.
My body still hurts from that 1st ski outing of the season...
The expo has an air of mystery and since its opening to public, throngs of people has gotten a glimpse on what exactly this is all about.
I had the opportunity to stroll through all the different pavilions through a 6 hours walk and capture some essence of this mystery.

Plaza Mariano Moreno
The building is from 1910, it was designed by Luis Broggi. Its red domes and outlines are considered within the neo-Renaissance style. On the top floor there are the statues of Venus and Apollo.
This appears to me to be Sheldon north from Oakes in the late20s. That is the Hotel Browning on the right later Ferguson-Droste-Ferugson Hospital. Next to it was a Buick dealership in the 20s, later it was a Chrysler/Plymouth dealership, Imperial Motors. The Art Prize/UICA building is on the left, it was also a car dealership, originall Becker Auto, looks like it is Allen-Wilcox in this shot, a Pontiac dealer. You can see the YMCA, YWCA & the LLC. The Watson Mansion is gone at the corner of Sheldon and Fulton replaced by the Watson Building. It and its neighbor the Medical Arts building are still on that corner.
Il Foro Romano era situato nella valle compresa tra il Palatino ed il Campidoglio e costituì il centro commerciale, religioso e politico della città di Roma.
Heligan House, the former centrepiece of the Gardens of Heligan, now believed to be flats and not part of the Gardens.
The first large building at Heligan, near Mevagissey in Cornwall, was a manor house constructed in the 13th century, but the gardens date from the 18th century, first noted in 1766. For many years the gardens were developed extensively, with a Chinese Garden and an Italian Garden amongst others, but all came to an abrupt end upon the outbreak of war in August 1914. The shelterbelt trees were cut down for the war effort, the house became a convalescent home, almost all of the staff went off to war, and the gardens went untended and soon became overgrown.
The much quoted "it's an ill wind that blows nobody any good" really applies here as it was the devasting storm (the so-called hurricane) of October 1990 that revealed the first clue as to what had been here and set in train a process that is ongoing. Since then, the work of many dedicated people, paid and unpaid, has recreated much of what the gardens once were, in an ongoing project that is the largest garden restoration in Europe.

18 June 2018 Warsaw is notable among Europe’s capital cities not for its size, its age, or its beauty but for its indestructibility. It is a phoenix that has risen repeatedly from the ashes of war. Having suffered fearful damage during the Swedish and Prussian occupation of 1655–56, it was again assaulted in 1794, when the Russian army massacred the population of the right-bank suburb of Praga. In 1944, after the Warsaw Uprising failed, by Adolf Hitler’s order the city was razed; the left-bank suburbs, controlled by the Germans, were emptied of their remaining population; and the buildings were systematically reduced to rubble by fire and dynamite. In 1945, however, the people of Warsaw, the Varsovians, returned, and the city resumed its role as the capital of Poland and the country’s centre of social, political, economic, scientific, and cultural life. Many of the historical streets, buildings, and churches have been restored exactly according to their original forms.
Since the second half of the 18th century, the emblem of Warsaw (originally a siren) has been a mermaid with sword and shield in hand, representing the creature who in legend led a prince to the site of Warsaw and ordered him to found the city. The city’s motto is, appropriately, “Contemnit procellas” (“It defies the storms”). Pop. (2011) 1,700,612.
