1912 postmarked postcard view of Central Avenue in Connersville, Indiana. The photographer was standing north of the Sixth Street intersection and facing southwest when he took this photograph. This was a very busy scene with several automobiles and a few horse-drawn buggies. Several pedestrians were in the scene as well.
Very few business signs are readable in this view, but the 1913 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Connersville gives us an idea of what businesses were operating at the time. For example, the wood frame buildings on the left (east side of the street) housed a dry goods business, a barber, a jeweler, a grocer and an electrical and plumbing supply business (536-528 Central Avenue). The jeweler’s shop (532 Central Avenue) was identifiable via the oversize pocket watch (a jeweler’s trade symbol) hanging above the awning. A furniture store was located in the four-story building (524-526 Central Avenue). The map set shows a restaurant just beyond the furniture store at 522 Central Avenue. The sign at that location in this view advertised the RICORD RESTAURANT.
Across the street, a sign on the side of a three-story building in the distance included the name LEITER'S. An online listing of businesses from the 1917 county history included a dry goods and millinery business owned by A. E. Leiter. The 1913 map set shows a dry goods store in the north end of that building (507 Central Avenue). The sign below the Leiter’s advertisement included the name GREEN. This sign was on the side of a two-story building (509 Central Avenue) where the 1913 map set shows a drugs business. A 1912 directory of druggists¹ listed the Green brothers as druggists in Connersville. The aforementioned 1917 listing of businesses included D. R. and L. E. Green as druggists.
The large building occupying the north half of the block between Fifth and Sixth Streets was the McFarlan Building. The DRUGS sign near the south end of the building (521 Central Avenue) and the bank on the corner at Fifth Street (531 Central Avenue) were the only identifiable businesses in that building along Central Avenue.

I receive false malware warnings from Google. A warning is attached to EVERY link that Google finds. Appears on every search on Firefox and Safari.
I believe these hold "chat" or "khat," the local chewable plant that is some form of amphetamine. The leaves are from the "false banana" or enset tree, a key Ethiopian crop
Metellina sp, although probably M. mengei. Very, very common in UK woodlands. Called false orb weavers because the very centre of the web, the hub, has the middle cut out and just leaves a hole. True orb weavers leave the centre filled with silk.

Blackett's Ridge Trail, Sabino Canyon Recreation Area, Coronado National Forest, Tucson.
These are the first two of several apparent peaks on the Blackett's Ridge Trail that a first-timer on this hike might think (and hope) would mark the destination. (The one on the left is first viewed without the higher point on the right.) This photo shows the steepest portion of the entire climb. There's a tiny hiker going up just beyond and to the right of the saguaro in the left-center.
Unfortunately, at least two more false summits remain after reaching the upper-right portion of this photo. Overall, the trail climbs about 1500' in just 1.7 miles, all in the open and exposed to the Arizona sun, before it mercifully ends at a point where further travel is impossible.

False Creek South is a historic urban landscape and widely-admired success story, which demonstrated the startling transformation of inner city industrial lands into a residential enclave designed for pedestrians and community, inclusive of all ages and incomes.
Located north of 6th Avenue between the Cambie and Burrard Bridges, the neighbourhood features low-to-mid-rise housing clustered around gardens, courtyards, plazas, walking and cycling paths and green space, including a large waterfront park. Reflecting the early 1970s values of a ‘livable city’ and ‘quality of life’, the area was developed on City-owned former industrial lands along the south shore of False Creek. The master plan called for a mix of one-third each of non-market rental housing, co-ops and condominiums in a “Garden City” landscaped setting.
The land remains City-owned, and 60-year lease agreements with owners of co-ops and condominiums will begin to expire in 2025. The future of False Creek South as a historic urban landscape depends on the condition and maintenance of the housing stock that is now at risk.
As leases expire soon, homeowners have found it difficult to finance their mortgages or repairs and improvements. Heritage Vancouver encourages the City to initiate the lease renewals as soon as possible, to avoid a decline in housing quality, and create a new, stable future for this unique community.

Science World at Telus World of Science, Vancouver is a science centre run by a not-for-profit organization in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It is located at the end of False Creek, and features many permanent interactive exhibits and displays, as well as areas with varying topics throughout the years.
The building's former name, Science World, is still the name of the organization. The building's name change to the Telus World of Science became official on July 20, 2005 following a $9-million donation to the museum from Telus. The official name of the science centre was subsequently changed to "Telus World of Science", although it is still routinely referred to as "Science World" by the public. Prior to the building being handed over to Science World by the City, it was referred to as Expo Centre during Expo 86. When Science World is operating inside the dome, it is referred to as Science World at Telus World of Science, and when it is out in the community it is simply Science World.

Duchesnea indica - They are edible, but they have very little flavor. These were growing everywhere in our backyard lawn in Carmel,NY, during June 2014. The birds ate them all day long.
