With the removal of ex PMT AEC Reliance / Alexander Y Type DVT 167J today, we've now honoured our commitment to empty the strorage barn we've enjoyed for about the last fifteen years. As they say, all good things come to an end, and today marked that end.
I've owned this bus in excess of a quarter of a century and had it to the point where it was ready to start taking some paint ... that was until local kids set fire to a minibus parked alongside. For unsound reasons I bought back the salvage from the insurers and have had the idea of sorting it out ever since. Hmm.

The United States is experiencing the fallout from our industrial decline. Many small towns and big cities across the nation are dealing with abandoned factories, hotels, banks, churches, amusement parks, malls, restaurants, and so on, with too few resources and innovative ideas to revitalize their communities. More often than not, plans for redevelopment or historic preservation fall through, primarily because of the huge price tags for such projects. It looks as if the former Scranton Lace Factory will be the exception to this rule.
I know that many people are upset over the loss of all but one of the company’s historic three story tall, 50 foot long, 20 ton looms. But where could anyone realistically store a room full of such devices? I applaud the developers for including a museum that will pay homage to the factory and the generations of employees who worked there as part of the plans to turn the old facility into a complex that will include 190 apartments, 42 offices, a medically-based fitness center, restaurants and retail space. It’s just a fact that communities and developers have to strike a balance between historic preservation, economic development, and reality in order for any revitalization project to become a success. And sadly, sometimes history has to be lost to move forward with plans for the future.
The owners of Scranton Lace have been very generous to the community and those who value history by allowing numerous photographers the opportunity to photograph and preserve the history of this manufacturing giant before moving ahead with renovation.
Scranton Lace manufacturing spanned two centuries of American history. They were the world’s largest producer of Nottingham lace. Their facility included bowling alleys, a gymnasium/theater, a barber shop, an event size kitchen, employee showers and a fully staffed infirmary.

Amsterdam is the capital city and most populous municipality of the Netherlands. Its status as the capital is mandated by the Constitution of the Netherlands, although it is not the seat of the government, which is The Hague. Amsterdam has a population of 851,373 within the city proper, 1,351,587 in the urban area and 2,410,960 in the metropolitan area. The city is located in the province of North Holland in the west of the country but is not its capital, which is Haarlem. The metropolitan area comprises much of the northern part of the Randstad, one of the larger conurbations in Europe, with a population of approximately 8 million.
Amsterdam's name derives from Amstelredamme, indicative of the city's origin around a dam in the river Amstel. Originating as a small fishing village in the late 12th century, Amsterdam became one of the most important ports in the world during the Dutch Golden Age (17th century), as a result of its innovative developments in trade. During that time, the city was the leading centre for finance and diamonds. In the 19th and 20th centuries the city expanded, and many new neighbourhoods and suburbs were planned and built. The 17th-century canals of Amsterdam and the 19–20th century Defence Line of Amsterdam are on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Since the annexation of the municipality of Sloten in 1921 by the municipality of Amsterdam, the oldest historic part of the city lies in Sloten (9th century).
As the commercial capital of the Netherlands and one of the top financial centres in Europe, Amsterdam is considered an alpha world city by the Globalization and World Cities (GaWC) study group. The city is also the cultural capital of the Netherlands. Many large Dutch institutions have their headquarters there, including Philips, AkzoNobel, TomTom and ING. Also, many of the world's largest companies are based in Amsterdam or established their European headquarters in the city, such as leading technology companies Uber, Netflix and Tesla. In 2012, Amsterdam was ranked the second best city to live in by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) and 12th globally on quality of living for environment and infrastructure by Mercer. The city was ranked 3rd in innovation by Australian innovation agency 2thinknow in their Innovation Cities Index 2009. The Port of Amsterdam to this day remains the second in the country, and the fifth largest seaport in Europe. Famous Amsterdam residents include the diarist Anne Frank, artists Rembrandt van Rijn and Vincent van Gogh, and philosopher Baruch Spinoza.
The Amsterdam Stock Exchange, the oldest stock exchange in the world, is located in the city centre. Amsterdam's main attractions include its historic canals, the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, the Stedelijk Museum, Hermitage Amsterdam, the Anne Frank House, the Scheepvaartmuseum, the Amsterdam Museum, the Heineken Experience, the Royal Palace of Amsterdam, Natura Artis Magistra, Hortus Botanicus Amsterdam, NEMO, the red-light district and many cannabis coffee shops. They draw more than 5 million international visitors annually. The city is also well known for its nightlife and festival activity; several of its nightclubs (Melkweg, Paradiso) are among the world's most famous. It is also one of the world's most multicultural cities, with at least 177 nationalities represented.

The Heineken Experience, located in Amsterdam, is a historic brewery and corporate visitor center for the internationally distributed Dutch pilsner, Heineken beer.
The industrial facility was built as the first Heineken brewery in 1867, serving as the company's primary brewing facility until 1988 when a more modern, larger facility was constructed on the outskirts of the city.
There is something about whipped cream that excites the senses. The sound of of applying it, the creamy texture, the sinful taste, and even touching it(well I'll leave that to your imagination). Only the nose is left out.

“What it’s really about is that we’re here to create. Whether that’s human life, whether that’s making delicious food, whether that’s painting or creating a podcast, or some beautiful building where people can have some shared experience. When that’s blocked off and you feel restricted that’s…tragic.”

A few weeks ago I tried a rental kayak on the Kickapoo River and enjoyed it immensely.
I heard about a new kayak adventure on the back waters of the Mississippi and decided to try it.
The set up for this kayak was far superior to the one I rented wees ago and the scenery was nothing I'd ever experience either.
I've live 30 miles from the Mississippi River for nearly 30 years. I worked next to the river for 11 years.
I've never been on the river.
Yesterday I changed all that.
I will do it again and I seriously thought about what it would be like to spend the day just watching
the eagles
the turtles
egrets
snakes
and other wild life.
Not to mention the incredible scenery.
I could seriously become a River Rat.
