Former Lady Foot Locker, now Cutters Corner.
The Midway Mall opened in 1966 with Higbee's, Sears, JCPenney, and Woolworth as anchor stores. Over the years, Higbee's became Dillard's (then closed in 2007) and Woolworth became Best Buy. A new south wing was added to Midway Mall in 1990. That wing featured a May Company department store (later Kaufmann's and Macy's before closing in early 2016).
As of Summer 2017, the Sears department store is closing and the mall has just been sold for $4.25 million on July 12th. As of writing this, the buyer of the mall has yet to be known. The rumors for what happens to the mall next are all over the place; they range from a hospital complex to a hotel / casino complex to a giant mobile home park (obviously a joke)...
Hopefully something actually is done rather than letting the mall slowly die like Randall Park or Rolling Acres did. At least the occupancy in this mall has stabilized for the small stores over the last couple years instead of continuing downward. The department store closings seem to be the biggest drain on the mall; JCPenney is the last traditional department store left at the mall after the Sears closing.
I decided to post these 130 photos as the photos that bring me over 10,000 photo mark on Flickr. I chose this mall because it is my hometown mall.

There are seven species of leaf cutter bee in the UK. I think this is one of the two commonest, the patchwork leaf cutter bee (Megachile centuncularis).
This triptych, taken in my garden, illustrates a neat semicircular cut to a rose leaf caused by a bee, a female bee carrying a section of leaf to her nest site, and a bee (perhaps the same one although at least two are using this site) hovering outside. The damage they cause to plants is trivial, likely to bother only those who grow plants to show them. They are great pollinators and so should be a welcome visitor or resident in any garden. They are very welcome in mine.
The nest is under a succulent plant in a pot in the garden. The leaves used in its construction will be glued together, an egg laid inside and a store of pollen left for the grub which will pupate in the autumn, hibernate over winter and emerge in late spring next year.

The Bundaberg Region.
The rich volcanic soils of the plains near Bundaberg and the Burnett River were covered with thick scrub and bush but a few adventurous pastoralists tried to establish sheep grazing there in the 1850s. It was easier away from the Bundaberg site at Gin Gin and Gayndah further inland. More white settlers came in the mid-1860s as timber cutters. In these early years clashes with the local Aboriginal people were often violent. Aboriginal massacres are known to have occurred at Gin Gin in 1850, in North Bundaberg in the early 1860s. The first timber cutters arrived in the Bundaberg area 1867 followed by the first white farmers also in 1867. The first saw mill was erected in 1868. The town site was surveyed and laid in 1870. Experimental sugar cane farms began around 1871 and within a few months the sugar mills was built. As sugar plantations increased Bundaberg ended up with four major sugar mills. The sugar cane plantations were usually owned by the mills, run as large plantations and they employed Kanaka or South Sea Islander indentured labourers. Thus like Maryborough Bundaberg became a main entry point for the South Sea Islanders. The town grew quickly as more farmers took up small selections or acreages often growing maize or small amounts of sugar cane. The local Kolan Shire council was formed in 1873 and Bundaberg was emerging as a town. It became a municipality in 1881 and a city in 1913. The discovery of copper and that start of mining operations at nearby Mt Perry in 1871 really boosted the prospects of Bundaberg. The first bank opened in 1872, the first newspaper began publication in 1875 and a coach service operated to Maryborough until the railway line was completed in 1888. The government wharf in Bundaberg was built in 1875 with the main cargoes being timber and maize. The Primitive Methodists built an early brush and timber church in 1877 and the Anglicans completed their first church in 1876. But the Catholics were the first to build a permanent church which was consecrated in 1875. The town was well established but the big transformation occurred in the early 1880s when the land owners developed the sugar industry to its full extent until sugar eclipsed all other crops. In 1881 the Bundaberg region produced 3% of QLD’s sugar crop. In 1883 it produced 20% of QLD’s sugar crop. This domination of sugar persisted from 1880 through to 1915. New sugar mills started up with the new Millaquin mill in 1882 and mills for the Youngs of Fairymead and the Gibsons of Bingera. Stable prices for sugar assisted with this development of sugar mills and by the mid-1880s more sugar farms were being established reliant on European labour instead of South Sea Islander labour. The 1885 QLD Royal Commission into malpractices with the Kanaka trade meant the government intervened more to control conditions of the indentured labourers and limited the trade. These restrictions were lifted in 1891 to boost the sugar industry again but the emerging labour unions and associations of white labourers opposed the revival of the Kanaka trade as their employment suffered because of the trade. The new Commonwealth government of 1901 made the decision to cease the trade from 1906. As the sugar industry had to restructure itself the QLD government started to build and financially back the sugar mills itself at Gin Gin and Isis. They also tried to control the mills of Fairymead and Bingera and CSR (Colonial Sugar Refining.)The Labour government of QLD established sugar price control in 1915 and set up a board of appeal for complaints from growers against the sugar mills. By 1915 Bundaberg was in fierce competition with sugar cane areas in the Far North QLD and the industry was much regulated. But it has survived well to the present day. This has been assisted by a new port at Burnett Heads which was built in 1962.
Apart from the sugar industry the growth of Bundaberg has been assisted by mining, fruit and vegetable growing and the development of side products from sugar – molasses and rum distilling. The first rum was distilled from the Millaquin sugar mill in 1888. The town was boosted greatly by the opening of the railway from North Bundaberg to Mt Perry copper mines in 1884 which in turn encouraged the establishment of foundries and works to support the mines in Bundaberg. By the 1880s Bundaberg has some grand buildings appropriate for a regional city. The commercial and civic heart of the town was in Bourbong Street with the Post Office 157 Bourbong St (1891), the War Memorial 180 Bourbong St (1922), the School of Arts building 184 Bourbong St (1889), the former Commercial Bank 191 Bourbong St (1891) etc.
Fairymead Plantation Homestead.
One of the great plantation homesteads, not quite as grand as the Southern American slave homesteads, is Fairymead in Bundaberg. It was built in 1890 in the Indian bungalow style of the British Raj occupation of India. It was built for Ernest and Margaret Young the owners of the Fairymead sugar mill. Margret Young’s brother was an architect and designed the house for the subtropical Bundaberg climate. It has 16 foot ceilings and a wide veranda encircles the house. The house was near the mill on the plantation and after World War One was used as accommodation for mill workers until Ernest Young’s grandson and his family moved back into the house in 1960. In 1988 it was donated to the City of Bundaberg and it was eventually transported into the Botanic Gardens site. The house is furnished as it was in 1890 and the interior arrangement of rooms has been little altered since then. The Fairymead sugar plantation was established by three Young brothers in 1880 when they bought 3,200 acres near Bundaberg. Their first sugar was sent to the Millaquin sugar mill until they completed their own sugar mill in 1884. They introduced a railway system to bring the cane to the mill and from 1902 they had irrigation water available if needed for the plantation. They pioneered mechanised single row harvesting of the cane in 1938 which was developed after World War Two to cover two rows. In the 1970s several Bundaberg mills and companies merged to form the Bundaberg Sugar Company.

Large mounted photo found in Tasmania depicting sugar cane cutters in Queensland in the early 1900s. This work was hard and dangerous because of poisonous snakes and spiders but it paid well. The classic Australian play "Summer of the Seventeenth Doll" by Ray Lawler is about sugar cane cutters. The man with the bucket appears to be wearing a cooking apron and probably has food inside the rolled up cloth. The group may have been about to take a break. Note the metal mugs hanging from the shoulder of the man on the right. Large size available for viewing (recommended).

My wife bought this "Comet" hair cutter many years ago to trim our sons' hair. About twenty-five years ago I started to use it to trim my hair … I've not been to a barber since.
Sadly, I've dropped it several times and bits have broken off. I'd like to get another but they have long been out of production.

The US Coast Guard Cutter Mellon (WHEC 717) enters Seattle's Elliot Bay on August 2, 2017. The Cutter Mellon was taking part in the 2017 Seafair Parade of Ships. The following was information is taken from the "Seafair Fleet Week 2017" brochure handed out at the pier:
The MELLLON is the third in her class of seven high endurance cutters built by Avondale Shipyards. A high-endurance cutter is designed to remain at sea for extended periods of time to undertake mid-ocean search and rescue operations, as well as law enforcement and national security missions. She is able to complete all Coast Guard missions, truly making her a multi-mission asset.
MELLON was one of the first naval vessels built with a combined diesel and gas turbine propulsion plant. The twin screws can use 7,000 diesel shaft horsepower to make 17 knots, and a total of 36,000 gas turbine shaft horsepower to make 28 knots. Her Pratt-Whitney marine gas turbine engines are similar to those installed in Boeing 707 passenger jet aircraft. She [is] armed with a 76mm MK75 (pronounced "mark 75") cannon on the bow, a 20mm MK15 Close-in Weapon System on the stern, two 25mm guns, six 50 cal machine guns, and numerous small arms. She often travels with an embarked MH-65 dolphin helicopter, increasing its operational awareness and capabilities.
Over the past two years, MELLON has conducted two deployments as the Search and Rescue primary response asset in the Bering Sea, one Living Marine Resource patrol off the Coast of Japan, and one Counter-Drug patrol off the coast of Central America. MELLON's actions directly contributed to the intercept of nine go-fast vessels, seizure of 5,622 kilograms of cocaine, apprehension of 34 drug smugglers, and completion of over 30 commercial fishery boardings in the Western Pacific and Bering Sea. She combated drug cartels, deterred large-scale High Seas Drift Net fishing, protected Alaska's six billion dollar fishing industry, and conducted joint operations with the Japanese and Chinese Coast Guards. MELLON has been awarded the Coast Guard Unit Commendation Medal, three Meritorious Unit Commendation medals, and numerous other campaign and unit decorations.
This pig can originally be found in the book ANIMATION by Preston Blair from 1949. Preston Blaire worked on Disney's FANTASIA and Tex Avery cartoons like RED HOT RIDING HOOD for example. In his book he teaches how to draw cartoon characters. In 1992 poster artist Frank Kozik "borrowed" the character for a Killdozer poster. Kozik added a knife to the pig's hidden hand. Here he is as a cookie cutter.
