Went for a walk around London with two mini projects. Numbers and a second project to capture ‘old London’. Buildings such as pubs, old warehouses, factories, churches etc, that although their function may have changed, probably haven’t physically changed much since they were built.
Dilapidated buildings now scheduled for demolition. Formerly a maltings and then an engineering workshop, they will be replaced by another bland supermarket extension and car park. Another bit of history gone!
John J. Pershing Auditorium...
The interior of the War Memorial building has three main floors. The upper level is the Shrine Room which is made up of materials from all over the world, symbolizing peace and unity and is symbolic of the world wide nature of World War I. The building also houses administrative offices, two 75-seat meeting rooms, the Pershing Auditorium which seats 500 (which are all available for public use) and a Military Museum that portrays the history of Indiana's gallant veterans and a listing of names of all Hoosiers killed or missing in action including Vietnam.
In all of my travels, I don't think I've ever seen a war memorial quite so grand as this one.
The City of London is a city and county that contains the historic centre and the primary central business district (CBD) of London. It constituted most of London from its settlement by the Romans in the 1st century AD to the Middle Ages, but the agglomeration has since grown far beyond the City's borders. The City is now only a tiny part of the metropolis of London, though it remains a notable part of central London. Administratively, it forms one of the 33 local authority districts of Greater London; however, the City of London is not a London borough, a status reserved for the other 32 districts (including London's only other city, the City of Westminster). It is also a separate county of England, being an enclave surrounded by Greater London. It is the smallest county in the United Kingdom.
The City of London is widely referred to simply as the City (differentiated from the phrase "the city of London" by capitalising City) and is also colloquially known as the Square Mile, as it is 1.12 sq mi (716.80 acres; 2.90 km2) in area. Both of these terms are also often used as metonyms for the United Kingdom's trading and financial services industries, which continue a notable history of being largely based in the City. The name London is now ordinarily used for a far wider area than just the City. London most often denotes the sprawling London metropolis, or the 32 London boroughs, in addition to the City of London itself. This wider usage of London is documented as far back as 1888, when the County of London was created.
The local authority for the City, namely the City of London Corporation, is unique in the UK and has some unusual responsibilities for a local council, such as being the police authority. It is also unusual in having responsibilities and ownerships beyond its boundaries. The Corporation is headed by the Lord Mayor of the City of London, an office separate from (and much older than) the Mayor of London. The current Lord Mayor, as of November 2017, is Charles Bowman.
The City is a major business and financial centre. Throughout the 19th century, the City was the world's primary business centre, and it continues to be a major meeting point for businesses. London came top in the Worldwide Centres of Commerce Index, published in 2008. The insurance industry is focused around the eastern side of the City, around Lloyd's building. A secondary financial district exists outside the City, at Canary Wharf, 2.5 miles (4 km) to the east.
The City has a resident population of 9,401 (ONS estimate, mid-2016) but over 300,000 people commute to and work there. About three quarters of the jobs in the City of London are in the financial, professional, and associated business services sectors. The legal profession forms a major component of the northern and western sides of the City, especially in the Temple and Chancery Lane areas where the Inns of Court are located, of which two—Inner Temple and Middle Temple—fall within the City of London boundary.
Known as "Londinium", the Roman legions established on the current site of the City of London around ad 43. Its bridge over the River Thames turned the city into a road nexus and major port, serving as a major commercial centre in Roman Britain until its abandonment during the 5th century. Archaeologist Leslie Wallace notes that "Because no LPRIA settlements or significant domestic refuse have been found in London, despite extensive archaeological excavation, arguments for a purely Roman foundation of London are now common and uncontroversial."
At its height, the Roman city had a population of approximately 45,000–60,000 inhabitants. Londinium was an ethnically diverse city, with inhabitants from across the Roman Empire, including natives of Britannia, continental Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. The Romans built the London Wall some time between 190 and 225 AD. The boundaries of the Roman city were similar to those of the City of London today, though Londinium did not extend further west than Ludgate or the Fleet, and the mid-estuary Thames was undredged and wider than it is today thus, the City's shoreline was north of its present position. The Romans built a bridge across the river, as early as 50 AD, near to today's London Bridge
Spa started as a luxury thermal bathing resort for the elite, with casino's and other mundane pleasures that are now supposedly available to everyone....
Photos taken April 23, 2014. From Wikipedia, here's a short description of "Alpine Helen": Helen is a city located on the Chattahoochee River in White County, in the north of the US state of Georgia. As of the 2000 census, the city's population was 430. Formerly a logging town that was in decline, the city resurrected itself by becoming a replica of a Bavarian alpine town, in the Appalachians instead of the Alps. This design is mandated through zoning first adopted in 1969, so that the classic south-German style is present on every building, even the small number of national franchisees present, such as Wendy's. Because of this, tourism is the main industry in Helen, catering mostly to weekend visitors from the Atlanta area and also, motorcyclists, who enjoy riding the beautiful roads around Helen and its surrounding areas during all seasons. Helen is extremely crowded in late October, when autumn leaves typically peak. It also hosts its own Oktoberfest during September, October and November. The sister city is Fussen, in Bavaria, Germany.

An untouched sign stands before the remains of the building where my husband practiced dentistry for 18 years. We sold our practice 2 1/2 years ago, but still had to go witness the events of July 5, 2013. Blessedly, no one was hurt.
