At one time birdhouses were plentiful on the golf course at Robert Moses State Park. Today only 2 remain, the others being demolished by ...... unhappy golfers? I spotted this beauty hidden away atop a dumpster behind a maintance building. I hope they don't use that dumpster.

Much has already been said and written about Little C. See the previous post for a little sample.
The style of the building complex can partly be traced back to the inherent cynicism of the project developers that created a project that uses the morphology of ultimately very problematic urban districts/housing complexes like The Projects (New York) -and the long ago demolished Kowloon (Hong Kong) quarter.
This is for now the last of the Little C mini-series.

The abandoned Shooters Waterfront Cafe in Providence, Rhode Island.
Shooters Waterfront Cafe
Shooter’s, part of a national chain of casual waterfront dining and dancing venues, was in a three-story building that could accommodate nearly 1,600 patrons. The 25,000-square-foot complex featured dockside dining, a waterfront pool, bars inside and outside, a top-floor restaurant and a 90-slip marina. One of its incarnations included a boat valet. It cost $6 million to build in 1990.
The waterfront nightclub overlooking Narragansett Bay operated under many different names in its 10 year lifespan. It was also known as Waterline, Bombers and Bootleggers. It closed down in 2000 and the property was taken by eminent domain by the state Department of Transportation and used as a staging area for the relocation of Route 195. The building was finally demolished in 2012 and the site sits empty today despite being rite on the water.
I believe these were the last two surviving buildings in downtown Ponta. (Pronounced pon-TAY) The small town town flourished as a shipping center in the early 1900s and into the 1920s. During and after the great depression they gradually lost all of their industry and commercial businesses. Their post office closed in 1972. These commercial buildings were demolished not long after this photo was taken in 2010-2011.
The fortifications of the town were built after the Mongol Invasion. It had four gates, which opened to the south, west, north and northeast. The plain of the town slightly slopes north, so the southern gate, which was located on the highest point, was called Upper Gate, while the northeastern gate, which was located on the lowest point, was called Lower Gate. The walls were defended by wide moats.
The trade road coming from the central regions of Hungary left the town towards Poland through the Lower Gate. From the town gate a little wooden bridge led to a half-round barbican, which still stands, surrounded by moats. From the barbican a drawbridge led across the moat. After the fortifications of the town lost their significance, the wooden bridges over the moats were demolished and a new stone bridge was raised with two 5-metres wide arches in 1821. A similar stone bridge was built to connect the barbican with the town but it had only one arch.

The bridge was built in 1867.
Barmouth Bridge / Barmouth Viaduct is a Grade 11 listed single-track wooden railway viaduct across the estuary of the Afon Mawddach near Barmouth, Wales. It is 820 metres [ 900 yards ] long.
It is the longest timber viaduct in Wales.
Work was authorised in 1861 and commenced in 1864. On 10 October 1867, the completed Bridge was officially opened.
By 1980, the viaduct was under attack by marine woodworm, which led to concerns that it would have to be closed and demolished.
Because of its value to tourism it was repaired between 1985-1986 closure was 6 months; a weight restriction and ban on locomotive hauled trains were also introduced. These restrictions have been relaxed though since 2005.
There is no provision for road traffic.
Christchurch's Cashel street is an interesting place to shop and look around. The buildings are modern and new as all of them were demolished after the 2011 earthquake. They're building a beautiful new city that is exciting with wonderful wide streets, broad footpaths and plenty of seating. The tram passes along this street, you can get on and off as much as you like.

I spotted this derelict building and thought it would be a great grungy photo backdrop. But I didn’t get in quick enough and it’s fully fenced and mostly demolished now. Photo for posterity.
I salute those who can take bird and animal pics. I'm in awe of you. Flowers don't move "usually", I think I like flowers better LOL :D
tt in turn was demolished and replaced by a new building in 2005. The only remaining original elements of the old de Young are the vases and sphinxes located near the Pool of Enchantment. The palm trees in front of the building are also original to the site. 124 131
The original Church of St. Anthony of Padua was built in 1725 by the Italian community of Istanbul, but was later demolished and replaced with the current building which was constructed on the same site. The current basilican church, along with the adjacent residential buildings (known as the St. Antoine Apartmanları) was built between 1906 and 1912 in Venetian Neo-Gothic style, again by the city's Italian community (mostly made up of people of Genoese and Venetian descent, the community amounted to about 40,000 at the start of the 20th century). The building was designed by the Levantine architect Giulio Mongeri, who also designed other important buildings in Turkey, such as the Maçka Palas in Nişantaşı and the Neo-Byzantine Karaköy Palas bank building in Karaköy (Galata), Istanbul, as well as the first headquarters of the Türkiye İş Bankası in Ankara.
Statue of Pope John XXIII ('the Turkish Pope") in front of Church of St Anthony of Padua, Istanbul
Pope John XXIII preached here for 10 years while he was the Vatican's ambassador to Turkey before being chosen as pope. He is known as "the Turkish Pope" because of his fluency in Turkish and his oft-expressed love for Turkey and for Istanbul in particular.
Since 2016 a legal battle has raged over the church which has been put up for sale by a man claiming to act for the site's legal owner. According to news reports, Sebahattin Gök obtained a power of attorney from the owners of the land and then attempted to sell it before lawyers acting on behalf of the Vatican took steps to prevent the sale.

Had a walk round Etherow Country Park on Boxing Day, for a bit of post Christmas fresh air and exercise. The main pool, near the car park, is a popular place for feeding the ducks and when someone emptied a huge bag full of bread along the path, we were surrounded by incoming pigeons, gulls, ducks geese and a family of swans. I know that bread isn't really good for them but they demolished the lot within a couple of minutes!

Les Halles, was Paris' central fresh food market. It was demolished in 1971 and replaced by the Westfield Forum des Halles, a modern shopping mall built largely underground and directly connected to the massive RER and métro transit hub of Châtelet–Les Halles. The shopping mall welcomes 150,000 visitors daily.
A major reconstruction of the mall was undertaken in 2010, and the new version of the Forum des Halles was inaugurated in 2018. The 2.5 hectare Canopy was opened on 5 April 2016. In 2017, the Forum des Halles was the second most visited shopping mall in the Paris region with 42 million yearly visitors.
History
In the eleventh century, a market grew up by a cemetery to the north-west of Paris in an area called the Little Fields (Champeaux). This was mainly a dry goods and money changing market. A bishop briefly took control of the market before sharing control with Louis VI in 1137. In 1183, Philip Augustus took full control of the market and built two market halls - halles - to protect the textiles. He also built walls around the market, including land which had recently been confiscated from exiled Jews. When he then built walls around the city, these embraced the market, which quickly became the city's largest (and, over time, went from being at the edge of the city to at its centre). Officially, it would remain a dry goods market for centuries, but food stalls soon grew up around the main buildings and by the fifteenth century food prices at les Halles were being cited as significant for the whole city.
The market would have ups and downs over the coming centuries and was rebuilt more than once. Over time, an increasing number of halls were built explicitly for food, but the dry goods market remained central to the (increasingly cramped) space.
Unable to compete in the new market economy and in need of massive repairs, the colourful ambience once associated with the bustling area of merchant stalls disappeared in 1971, when Les Halles was dismantled; the wholesale market was relocated to the suburb of Rungis.
The Forum des Halles, a partially underground multiple story commercial and shopping centre, designed by Claude Vasconi and Georges Pencreac'h, opened at the east end of the site on September 4, 1979 in presence of the Mayor of Paris Jacques Chirac, and remains there today. A public garden covering four hectares opened in 1986. Many of the surrounding streets were pedestrianized.
