Originally opened in 1921, the 500-seat Seminole three-story building on Krome Avenue was built for Henry Booker, Sr. and James Washington English for movies and live entertainment. The theater was heavily damaged in a 1940 fire, leaving little more than a blackened shell.
Prolific theater architect Roy A. Benjamin was hired to rebuild the Seminole, which he designed in Streamline Moderne style. The cost of the movie theater's reconstruction was around $50,000. It reopened in the fall of 1940. In addition to movies, the Seminole continued to host live entertainment, as well as beauty contests and cooking demonstrations. In the early 1970s, the Seminole has renamed the Premier Theatre and began to show Spanish-language movies. It closed in 1979 due to declining attendance.
For years, the theater sat vacantly and fell into disrepair. In 1992, when Hurricane Andrew hit the Homestead area, the Seminole was not spared, and though its walls stood, the roof was torn off and the theater's interior suffered serious damage. In 1993, the Seminole Theater's owners donated the battered theater to the city, which designed it a local historic site two years later. The building is one of the few remaining examples of Art Moderne/Art Deco style theatres in all of Miami-Dade County.
The Seminole Theater Group was organized in 1997 with the intention of restoring the theater as a performing arts venue serving the Homestead and Dade County region. It is expected to cost about $4.2 million to bring the old Seminole back to life. The Seminole Theatre was reopened on October 28, 2015.
William B Medellin Architect P.A. as the historic preservation consultant for the project was responsible for the restoration of the historic facades, including the re-painting of the exterior walls to match the original historic colors; re-installation of missing historic elements such as the historic “Starburst” fretwork over the transom entrance doors and the historic travertine wainscot using historic salvaged travertine found at the Theater’s storage room. The interior lobby stairs and railings were the only original historic interior elements remaining in the building.

Das Bild zeigt einen Ausschnitt eines höchst interessanten Gebäudes der Fachhochschule Trier. Moderne Architektur trifft auf moderne Kunst. Ich emfpand es interessanter, nur ein Ausschnitt als das gesamte Gebäude festzuhalten, da dies meiner Meinung das Muster besser darstellt. Aufgenommen mit einer Nikon D5100, Nikkor 55-200 VR.
This mad-dash set was done in a hotel bathroom in about 55 minutes for two looks, including hair and makeup. Miss Krizia was a speed demon and just fantastic at hitting poses.
Lots of post production on this, obviously. It was going for a kind of gothic lovecraft horror meets maxim. Big thanks to www.cgtextures.com for the smoke.
Taken at Le Rivage (www.lerivagehotel.com/) off I-5 in Sacramento. Honestly, they are the coolest place ever. Incredibly nice rooms, bathrooms, and the service staff leap at every chance to help you that you can imagine... all for about what you'd pay (or less) at the holiday inn by the airport. Seriously recommended for a photo shoot or just a layover spot.

The Frida theme for the We're Here group has stuck with me this week.
I was drawn to the idea of happy-seeming florals and bright colors paired with a darker, more sinister Frida.
Not that she wasn't edgy already, I just thought I'd just push her one step over.

Das Liliencarré ist ein am 22. März 2007 eröffnetes Einkaufszentrum in unmittelbarer Nähe des Wiesbadener Hauptbahnhofs. Der Name „Liliencarré“ ist der Versuch, einen Bezug zu der Lilie im Stadtwappen Wiesbadens herzustellen.
Das Projekt wurde auf dem ehemaligen Gelände der Hauptpost (Abriss bis Anfang 2003) errichtet. Das ehemals im Besitz der Stadt befindliche Grundstück wurde an einen privaten Investor verkauft. Neben dem eigentlichen Einkaufszentrum umfasst das Projekt ein Bürohochhaus und ein mehrgeschossiges Parkhaus. Eines der Hauptcharakteristika des Liliencarrés ist eine weithin sichtbare, metallgedeckte Kuppel.
Das Zentrum bietet auf einer zweigeschossigen Mall etwa 26.000 m² Mietfläche für Einzelhandel und Dienstleistung. Wie die meisten Einkaufszentren verfügt das Liliencarré über nur wenige öffentliche Zugänge. Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass etwa 70 Prozent aller Besucher das Zentrum mit dem PKW erreichen und über die Tiefgarage (800 Plätze) sowie das angrenzende Parkhaus (400 Plätze) betreten werden. Das Einzugsgebiet des Liliencarrés erstreckt sich weit über die Stadt Wiesbaden hinaus bis in die Vororte.
Zusätzlich ist neben dem Center auf dem gleichen Gelände ein Büro- und Hotelgebäude derzeit noch im Bau, welches in naher Zukunft fertiggestellt werden wird und neben 4000 m² Bürofläche etwa 6000 m² Hotelfläche bietet.
Für die Architektur des Liliencarrés zeichnen das österreichisch-deutsche Architekturbüro Ortner und Ortner, Berlin, und das Darmstädter Büro Kramm und Strigl verantwortlich.
Op 3 maart 2019 was er in de Linaeusstraat een explosie voor de deur van een Coffeeshop- iets wat toen nog zeer uitzonderlijk was. Lijn 19 moest daardoor uitwijken naar het eindpunt Flevopark. In de stromende regen werd de 824 van de lijn vastgelegd naast een tweetal Combino's van lijn 14. Niet alleen de Trapkarren, maar ook lijn 14 aan dit eindpunt: je zal er vergeefs naar zoeken....

Moderne Cinema, Winton, Bournemouth. Opened in October 1935 and operated as a cinema until May 1983, the Moderne Cinema was designed by Edward G de Wilde Holding with 1,500 seats in stalls and balcony levels. After closure, it became a bingo hall until February 2008. By 2009 it was being converted into a church.

I'm standing at the corner of Wilshire and Ridgeley Drive on a quiet Sunday morning. The photo looks east. We're taking the long way from the Westside to the Coliseum and a Rams-Saints game. We would always stop at Du-par's bakery here for a few donuts and pastries to take with us for the game (Roger Owens, the famous "Peanut Man" who tossed bags behind his back across ten rows at the Coliseum, didn't offer anything like Du-par's stuff.)
Even at this age it was not lost on me what I was being surrounded by. To the east, behind the cigarette billboard, is the Moderne 1931 Dominguez-Wilshire building; promiment at center is the 1929 Desmonds tower, which also incorporated the Silverwoods store. Those two retail names were prominent on the Southern California retail scene through the eighties. The same mostly goes for Phelps Meager, the bricked building to the west. A real mid-century-modern gem is at the right: the 1949 Stiles Clements-designed Mullen Bluett building, by this time a Harris & Frank clothing-store branch. This building was deemed expendable and demolished in 2006 in favor of the usual "mixed-use post-modern" development.
The Miracle Mile, Wilshire from Fairfax to La Brea Avenues, took its shape and style in the middle third of the twentieth century. Originally it was thought by many Angelenos to be a gamble for retailers to set up shop this far from downtown, where mostly all commerce took place. But Los Angeles was a small town then, and it grew, and grew, and so Wilshire became Los Angeles's most fashionable shopping area. By 1973 its prominence had given way to the Westside , the San Fernando Valley, Orange County, and other areas as the Southland exploded in growth. Many of the Miracle Mile's buildings remain and many have vanished, but a loyal core of people still celebrate what was.
