View seen while driving out of a city car park entrance. The green traffic light is mounted high inside the roller door of the carpark, while the signs are on the brick building across the street.
A cool looking building in Hamilton Ontario. I love tripping through Hamilton. A city with lots of character.
Happy Window Wednesday
Babel Fair.a women's clothing boutique in Elizabeth St in Soho (NYC) that closed down.I don't think it was due to the pandemic or George Floyd riots though.
In the Hebrew the word Babel comes from balal which means to "confound" or "confuse".
A trestle leading to the MacArthur railroad bridge is adjacent to an abandoned graffiti laden warehouse. Thanks for looking.
A bit of history on this one: The Ideal Bar was once the hangout of the Purple Gang during Prohibition. The building, located close to the Detroit River, was used for smuggling liquor from Canada.
In 2009, part of the film "Highland Park" directed by Danny Glover was filmed here.
The sub-basement and tunnels, used to store the liquor decades ago, are closed up or empty and the bar itself closed in the mid-80's.
Title from the brilliant band The Dead Milkmen
This abandoned 135,000 square foot manufacturing facility was built in three stages between 1901 and 1919. It’s on the National Register of Historic Places. The style is Romanesque Revival in red brick. The Mississippi River is just a few hundred feet to the left and behind the building. This is in the river north industrial district of Saint Louis, MO USA. Thanks for learning about it with me.

I knew starting out today that the day would be fairly busy and wouldn't leave much time for photography so I snapped this on my walk to the office.
I walk by this wall almost daily and the painting on the side of the building always catches my attention so it seemed a little silly to me that I had yet to photograph it.
Anyway, I hope everyone has had a good day.

It's not all neon on Central.
Magic Mobile Homes Inc. in Albuquerque, NM has been in the manufactured housing business for over 40 years. They have sold, transported, set up and repaired mobile homes in the past but now limit their business to the sale of mobile home parts.
Now it looks like the business is up for lease.

A warm foggy January night at the corner of Queen Street and Gore street.
The Victorian three-storey Barnes Block was built in 1902, by druggist Theron T. Barnes, and operated as a drug store from 1902-1969. The Barnes Block is representative of Victorian Romanesque architectural style with robust masonry, vibrant colour, contrasting window arches and sills, and a unique cornice. It also incorporates a distinctive gothic inspired corner turret and roof cupola topped with a druggist’s mortar and pestle.
Standing at the south end of the 300 block and shooting north, this image captures the Promenade's peculiar duality with unusual clarity: on the right, the same Keller-era masonry block from the previous frame, now readable in context; on the left, a construction hoarding wrapping what appears to be a gut renovation or ground-up development, its raw structural steel skeleton visible above the fence line. The tension between these two walls — one a century old, one not yet born — frames the corridor like a before-and-after exhibit in urban economics. The Promenade's signature light installations cascade down the center of the frame in a chandelier-like catenary that draws the eye deep into the composition, the warm festival lighting doing considerable work to animate what is, at this hour, a remarkably empty pedestrian mall. The paired Washington fan palms march in formation toward the vanishing point, their trunks wrapped in fairy lights — a landscaping decision from the Promenade's late-1980s redesign by Lawrence Halprin's office that remains its most recognizable feature. The scattered "For Lease" signage visible on the right tells the quieter story: this is a corridor still finding its post-pandemic footing, the holiday lights a kind of determined optimism against the vacancy.
a 3-image stich of a portion of a multi-story mural that was stripped when the building was turned into student housing for UIC. stiching errors abound. This used to be visible from the Eisenhower Expressway. See also: encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/11062.html
(Note that everything in the photo from the previous link that looks like a window was part of the mural.)
