Built in 1939, the Cardozo South Beach is a landmark of Art Deco architecture located at 1300 Ocean Drive in Miami Beach.
Architectural Significance
Design: Designed by architect Henry Hohauser, the hotel is a premier example of "Streamline Moderne" style, featuring curved lines similar to a vintage Studebaker's fender and keystone trim made from dyed porous limestone.
Accommodations: 41 guest rooms and suites distributed across the three floors.
Penthouse: A signature penthouse suite spanning the entire width of the hotel is located on the third floor.
Dining: The first floor houses the on-site restaurant, BiCE Cucina.
Naming: The hotel was named after Benjamin Cardozo, one of the first Jewish justices of the U.S. Supreme Court.
Historic Status: It is part of the Miami Beach Art Deco District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Historical Timeline
1940s: During World War II, the hotel was repurposed as a barracks for the Air Force.
Post-War: Following the war, it served as a retirement home.
1980s: The Cardozo became the headquarters for the Miami Design Preservation League and served as the official pilot project for the restoration of the Art Deco District.
1992–Present: Internationally renowned musicians Gloria and Emilio Estefan purchased the hotel.
2019 Renovation: After a four-year, $15 million renovation, the hotel reopened with modernized interiors, including a new penthouse and soundproofed rooms, while maintaining its original 1930s exterior.

Alleyway Theatre, Curtain Up Alley at Main Street, Buffalo, New York state.
Partial quote from the theatre's web site:
"Alleyway Theatre is located in Buffalo, New York’s Theatre Historic District. Constructed in 1941 by Central Greyhound Lines, the building served for decades as the city’s primary bus depot. It is one of the many terminals designed by nationally prominent architect William S. Arrasmith of Louisville who created over one hundred stations for Greyhound in the late thirties and early forties.
The Alleyway Building is one of Buffalo’s most prominent examples of the Art Moderne style. The streamlined two story structure boasts the important features which defined the work of W. S. Arrasmith including round windows, curved wall surfaces, stainless steel and aluminum alloy trimmings, terrazzo floors, limestone façade, and exterior surfaces of glazed tile. This building is one of only a handful of Mr. Arrasmith’s creations which is still standing."

Over the Canadian Thanksgiving/ Columbus Day (in the U.S.) long weekend, I met up with Eridony (Brandon) in Buffalo, New York. It was the third time that Brandon and I met up.
Buffalo is a city in western New York state on the eastern shore of Lake Erie, it's located about 17 miles (27 kms) south of Niagara Falls. During the 19th century and up to the 1950s, Buffalo was a boom town and a major industrial and transportation hub due to its location along the Erie Canal, railroads and Lake Erie. Between the 1860s and 1910s, Buffalo actually ranked as the top 10 largest cities in the U.S. (Thanks for that info, Brandon!) During that period, Buffalo built many impressive public and private buildings, many of which have survived till today.
Buffalo had suffered decades of economic and population decline, but in the past ten years, appears to be recovering very slowly.
Als die Kokerei der Zeche Zollverein 1961 eröffnete, war sie die modernste der Welt. Allerdings war sie nur 32 Jahre in Betrieb. 1993 war die Kohle- und Stahlindustrie im Ruhrgebiet schon am Ende. Bis heute, 2025, sind noch einmal 32 Jahre vergangen und die Kokerei ist nach wie vor modern. Mit Solarpanels auf dem Dach, einem Riesenrad als Kulturausstellung und einer Nachnutzung als Schwimmbad und Eisbahn.
In april 2017 was voor de laatste maal kermis op de Dam: het werd té druk, vond de gemeente en schrapte de vergunning.
Een jaar later zou ook lijn 14 hier voorgoed verdwijnen....

Bamberg, Untere Brücke, Bronzeskulptur "Centurione I" von Igor Mitoraj
Auf der unteren Brücke, die zum Alten Rathaus auf einer Insel in der Regnitz führt, steht die Bronzeskulptur "Centurione I" von Igor Miroraj. Bamberg, der Sitz des Grafengeschlechts der Babenberger, wurde unter Kaiser Heinrich II. (973 - 1024) Bischofsstadt und erhielt mit dem Dom sein architektonisches und geistiges Zentrum. Die im letzten Weltkrieg verschonte Altstadt besitzt den größten unversehrt erhaltenen historischen Stadtkern Deutschlands und gehört seit 1993 zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe.
Igor Mitoraj wurde 1944 in Polen geboren und studierte Kunst in Krakau und Paris. Nach einem Aufenthalt in Südamerika, dessen Kultur und Kunst ihn faszinierte, widmete er sich ausschliesslich der Skulptur und arbeite in Terrakotta und Bronze. Marmor wurde zu seinem Hauptmedium nach einer Reise nach Carrara, in dessen Nähe er 1983 sein Studio in Pietrasanta einrichtete. Seine Skulpturen haben ihre Wurzeln im klassischen Altertum, zeigen jedoch auch postmodernen Einflüsse.
