everything seemed to be going downhill; i was literally down to my last three quarters. i even contemplated going to outside sources for help. i had to fix the situation. but then,
BAM!
i remembered there was a pouch of toll-booth quarters in the car from the last trip home. i was once again free to wash the laundry! TAKE THAT, DIRTY TOWELS! TAKE IT AND SUCK IT! yeeeeah, i'll show YOU unscented tide with baking soda! i need 6 quarters to wash a single pile of laundry, and as 3 quarters and no clean clothes left equals hippie time, i was understandably worried. but now all is well. until next time.
on a funny note, tonight's laundry event has nothing to do with this photo, which is from thursday. the shot just seemed like a kind of "but wait..." moment. this also started as a color then went to a b&w then a different b&w and then a color again and then a texture and now a sepia with texture. i still can't decide.
spinnnnn!

Print Description
1914 postmarked postcard view of State Street in Pendleton, Indiana. There were a few pedestrians in this scene and a handful of horse-drawn buggies and wagons. One vehicle in the distance may be an automobile. The photographer was standing west of Main Street and facing east when he took the photograph. The Main Street intersection is in the foreground.
Although this postcard has a postmark from 1914, the photograph was taken prior to 1910. The K. of P. (Knights of Pythias) Building at 16-18 West State Street (using the old street address system) was built in 1910. That building did not yet exist when this photograph was taken.
The hand water pump on the northeast corner of the Main Street intersection is shown in the 1914 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Pendleton, but not in the 1908 map set. The sign above the awning on that corner advertised DRY GOODS, SELZ SHOES and GROCERIES. Both map sets show this type of business at that location (40 West State Street). The Redmen’s Hall was on the second floor of that building. The 1908 map set shows the small wood frame building with the barber’s pole, but the building had been replaced by a single-story brick structure by the time the 1914 map set was being prepared. The 1908 and the 1914 map sets both identify the next building east (single-story brick construction) as the Pendleton Post Office (36 West State Street). Beyond the post office, the single-story wood frame building was a 5c theatre according to the 1908 map set. However, that building had also been replaced by a single-story brick structure (34 West State Street) by 1914.
Farther east, very few business signs were visible. The name on the _______ OFFICE sign east of the 5c theatre isn’t quite readable. Both map sets show a millinery shop and a grocery store in that building (30 West State Street) with a stairway between the two businesses. The sign was probably hanging above the stairway entrance and advertising a professional office on the second floor. The only other visible sign on the north side of the street is the RESTAURANT sign. The 1908 map set shows a restaurant in a single-story wood frame building west of the IOOF (Independent Order of Odd Fellows) Building. The distinctive IOOF façade is easy to identify in this photograph. However, the four small wood frame buildings to the west of it are difficult to see in this scene. The K. of P. Building and a bank replaced those small buildings and businesses in 1910.
The railroad crossing arms in the background identify the location of the C. C. C. & St. L. (Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis) Railway crossing. The crossing is between Pendleton Avenue and Broadway Street. The location of the HARNESS sign on the south side of State Street matches a harness and implements business at 11 East State Street in the 1908 map set. The DENTIST sign may have been on the building at the southwest corner of Pendleton Avenue or possibly above the bank on the southeast corner. The 1908 map set shows two saloons in the building on the southwest corner (1 and 3 West State Street). A Third saloon was located at 11 West State Street, but none of the three was identifiable in this photograph. The CIGAR STORE sign advertised a store located at 5 West State Street when the 1908 map set was published. That building and several other wood frame buildings (5 West State to 15 West State) were gone by the time the 1914 map set was being prepared.
The large barber’s pole in this scene stood in front of the two-story brick building at 25 West State Street. A cigar store was located in that building when the 1908 map set was being prepared, but the 1914 map set shows a barbershop. It is unclear on which building the PENDLETON LAUNDRY sign is posted. Neither map set lists a laundry business in that vicinity. The name on the ______ OFFICE UP STAIRS sign is not quite readable. The three-story building (27-29 West State Street) housed a furniture store in 1908. The K. of P. Hall was on the second floor and the Masonic Hall was on the third floor. The small wood frame building next door (31 West State Street) was occupied by a confectionery business when both map sets were published. The word HAIR was painted on the next building west (35 West State Street). However, both map sets show a photo gallery in that building. The sign next door (37 West State Street) advertised a cobbler’s business that is shown in the 1908 map set, but was gone by the time the 1914 set was being prepared. The business sign used images of a boot and a shoe as part of the sign. A tailoring business occupied the building on the southeast corner at Main Street. The building also served as a dwelling.

From Josephine Neill's scrapbook.
There so many things (flowers, corsage ribbons, cigarettes) with Bud's name on them in Josephine's scrapbook, so the romance between Bud and Josephine during their college days must have been quite a serious one. Wish I knew what happened to their little love affair. Was she too flirty with other boys? Was he too quiet? Did they get bored with each other, argue too much? Whatever happened, neither of them married during college, I know that. Bud went off to New Mexico, and I don't know when he got married. Josephine didn't marry until long after college when she was 27 (in 1935).
“Portobello ReCollection” is a six month arts project in Notting Hill launching this Autumn 2010. We begin with transforming the 100 metre long Portobello North Wall on the Portobello Road into “Wall of Sound”, a giant shelf of records with the titles reproduced on 2 metre high album cover spines, creating an explosion of colour and type design. The celebration of the rich musical heritage of Notting Hill in this wall of sound, will emphasize the connection between the place, its people and its music; as if the wall was Notting Hill’s own private record collection.
Portobello Road. Chelsea, London.
It was a beautiful day. It felt so surreal. The feeling is still fresh in my soul. If only I could draw that feeling...

c1910 postcard view of Ohio Street in Rockville, Indiana. This view was looking west-northwest on the north side of the Parke County Courthouse square after a snowfall. The Market Street intersection is in the background. Numerous buggies were parked along the courthouse square. Pedestrians were dodging shop owners who were busy clearing snow from the sidewalk across the street.
The 1910 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Rockville shows a bank on the southeast corner at East Ohio and South Jefferson streets. The building faced Jefferson Street and had an exterior stairway and balcony on the side facing Market Street. The photographer probably took this photograph from that stairway or balcony. The building and stairway/balcony were still there as of August 2015. In fact, all the buildings in this scene are still standing and have been restored and/or remodeled.
The Sanborn™ map set identified 14 businesses along the north side of Ohio Street across from the courthouse, but the three businesses at the east end of the block are not visible in this view. Beginning at the west end of the block on the northeast corner, the map set shows a bank and then next door a jewelry store with the fire department in the basement. The three-story building near that end of the block in 1910 housed a clothing store (with a boots and shoes department in the back) and an unidentified lodge hall upstairs. The sign on that building in this scene advertised the E. S. BRUBECK ONE PRICE CLOTHING AND SHOES store. The BRUBECK name was also printed on the awning.
The next building east was a two-story brick building with three businesses inside. The 1910 map set identified them as a grocery, a millinery shop and a haberdashery with a photographer’s studio above the grocery and millinery shop. In this postcard scene, the location of the millinery shop has an awning that appears to read DAN D. JONES. In the next building east, the map set shows a furniture business and a hardware store/tin shop. The awning and business sign on that building advertised the H. R. NEVINS FURNITURE [and] UNDERTAKING business. A partially hidden sign below a display window next door advertised DO_EY. That was the location of the hardware store shown in the map set. The map set shows a drug store and a clothing store in the next building east. One of the awnings on that building advertised DRUGS, but any other information on that awning is unreadable. The sign and awning next door clearly identified the MARKS & BUTLER CLOTHING store. The last store in this view was the OTT HARDWARE CO. store. Their awning advertises IMPLEMENTS, FENCE & CEMENT. Another sign near the top of the building advertised STOVES & RANGES.
Most of the horses were covered with blankets. A wrought iron fence surrounded the courthouse square and a hand water pump stood near the platform at the bottom of this scene.
The map set shows the Parke Hotel on the southwest corner at Ohio and Market Streets. That building is visible in this scene and a partially visible sign on Ohio Street advertised __AB__S. The map set shows a livery and feed business west of the hotel and that sign may have been advertising STABLES.

Photo was taken on a beautiful morning at Packwood Lake in the Gifford Pinchot/Goat Rocks National Forest in Washington State.
Along Jefferson Street, at the entrance of the Hope Gardens neighborhood, a man teeters over his bicycle and watches the cars roll past on a Sunday afternoon. He was more than happy to tell of his memories of Jefferson Street and how things have changed over the years.
Last November 26, 2016 the Junior High School students had their recollection activity. The purpose of a recollection activity is to refresh and revitalize the mind and soul of the students for them to be once again in tune and further deepen with their relationship with God. This is achieved through relatable lectures and thought provoking activities that help the students reflect and contemplate on how they are making and breaking the teachings of Jesus in their lives and how they can bring that love back to their families. The activity ends with a confession and a thanks giving mass.
c1910 postcard view of the concrete and stone bridges over Blau Ditch on the northwest side of Crothersville, Indiana. The stone bridge was still in use as of 2013 by the Louisville & Indiana Railroad. That company operates the former P. C. C. & St. L. (Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis) Railway line that runs generally north and south through southern Indiana. At Crothersville, it is running more northwest and southeast. In town, the railroad runs parallel to Pennsylvania Avenue. Outside of town to the northwest, Pennsylvania Avenue becomes South CR 1010 E. This view was from a location southwest of the road and looking through the road and railroad bridges.
The two boys seated on the railroad bridge wing wall barely show up in the postcard itself!

30 years of photography at the NY public library
Nearly all the photographs were portraits in comparison to now I think our materialistic minds tend to capture things more often than people.

1911 postmarked postcard view of a trolley car on the Pine Creek Trestle near Bristol, Indiana. This was the “Valley Line” route that generally followed the L. S. & M. S. (Lake Shore and Michigan Southern) Railway and the road along the south side of the St. Joseph River between Elkhart and Bristol. The interurban line ran between the road and the railroad.¹
The Pine Creek crossing was roughly four miles west-southwest of Bristol and the interurban line was running west-southwest to east-northeast. Since the L. S. & M. S. track was in the background of this scene, the photographer must have been on the north side of the Valley Line with his back to the road and facing east.
A lengthy 1955 article by Joseph Galloway² detailed the history of the Valley Line. According to that article, Northern Indiana Railway was leasing this line between Elkhart and Bristol from 1910 to 1912. Since this postcard was postmarked in 1911, the car on the line must have belonged to that company. The Galloway article also included an August 3, 1912, schedule showing 12 daily trips in each direction between Bristol and Elkhart.
In the early years of the 20th century, steam locomotives were hauling passengers and freight back and forth across northern Indiana, but there was a very large gap in the expanding electric interurban service. Passengers could not travel from Cleveland and Toledo to Chicago via the interurban system. The gap extended from Elkhart into Ohio. Elkhart entrepreneur, Herbert E. Bucklen, intended to fill that gap. He began by forming the St. Joseph Valley Traction Company and then the St. Joseph Valley Railway Company. Each company built portions of the new line that would connect Angola with Elkhart. The first completed segments connected LaGrange and Middlebury in 1905 and 1906.³ Later, the line was extended eastward to Angola and westward toward Elkhart via Bristol. The segment between Elkhart and Bristol was completed in 1910 and the segment between Middlebury and Bristol was put into service the following year. The St. Joseph Valley Railway Company operated the line east of Bristol, but the C. S. B. & N. I. (Chicago, South Bend & Northern Indiana) Railway Company operated the line between Elkhart and Bristol for a period of time using their own equipment. Both of Mr. Bucklen’s companies entered receivership shortly after his death in 1917 and the assets were sold. The line had been unprofitable and was abandoned in 1918. A short section of the route reopened briefly before it too was abandoned in 1920.
John Inbody took the photograph used in the production of this postcard. Mr. Inbody worked out of his Elkhart studio to produce some extraordinary postcard scenes. He was probably the most consistent photographer in Indiana in terms of publishing high quality real photo postcards with interesting scenes. However, he died at a relatively young age in 1915. Mr. Inbody began registering his work with the U. S. Copyright Office in 1910. it was probably from the period prior to 1910 when Mr. Inbody apparently began copyrighting his work.

Marsden Hartley's New Mexico Recollection #6, an oil paint on canvas, was executed in 1922. Hartley strove to capture what he called the "solidity" of the landscape aroound Taos and Santa Fe. "The country of the Southwest is essentially a sculptural country," he wrote.
The Denver Art Museum, a private, non-profit museum, is known for its collection of American Indian art. Its impressive collection of more than 68,000 works includes pieces from around the world including modern and contemporary art, European and American painting and sculpture, and pre-Columbian and Spanish Colonial art. The museum was originally founded in 1893 as the Denver Artists Club. In 1918, it moved into galleries in the Denver City and County Building, and became the Denver Art Museum.
In 1971, the museum opened what is now known as the North Building, designed by Italian architect Gio Ponti and Denver-based James Sudler Associates. The seven-story structure, 210,000-square-foot building allowed the museum to display its collections under one roof for the first time. The Frederic C. Hamilton Building, designed by Studio Daniel Libeskind and Denver firm Davis Partnership Architects, opened on October 7, 2006 to accommodate the Denver Art Museum's growing collections and programs.
Circa 1908 postcard view of Harrison Street in Alexandria, Indiana. The photographer was looking south toward the Church Street intersection. Signs on the building at the southeast corner of the intersection (125 North Harrison) advertised COCA COLA and ICE CREAM SODA. The sign above the window identified this as the E. C. ROBINSON DRUGS store. Mr. Robinson was identified as an Alexandria pharmacist as early as 1905,¹ but a 1908 directory² included this entry. “E. C. Robinson, 207 N. Harrison St., it is reported, has been succeeded by Dr. M. L. Ploughe.”
A jeweler’s trade sign (an oversize pocket watch) was mounted on a post at the curb two doors south (121 North Harrison) of the drugstore. The 1909 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Alexandria confirms these two business types in that corner building and identifies the building as the Alexandria Opera House. The opera house entrance was between the drugstore and the jeweler’s store. The banner just beyond the jeweler’s post clock appears to advertise pianos. That may have been associated with the jewelry business. The next business south according to the 1909 map set was a “Fruits” business (119 North Harrison Street).
On the west side of Harrison street south of the intersection was a RESTAURANT sign. The 1909 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Alexandria shows a restaurant at that location. A 1902 business directory³ listed a restaurant owned by W. M. Masterson at that address (116 North Harrison). The building was the Eyck & Perry Block. The 1909 map set shows a pool room located north of the restaurant at 118 North Harrison. At 120 North Harrison, the awning appears to have CLOTHING printed on it. The 1902 directory included a listing for R. Markson’s clothing shop at this address. Next door, at 122 North Harrison Street, was a sign advertising GREE__ BAZAAR. The 1909 Sanborn map set shows a bazaar at this address and the 1902 directory listed an M. J. Greir Bazaar at 106 North Harrison. (was this a misspelling of Greer?) The 106 North Harrison address was vacant when the 1909 map set was prepared. The space on the southwest corner (126 North Harrison) was also vacant when the 1909 map set was prepared. This view doesn’t reveal if the space was occupied, but the sign beside the entrance advertised a LUNCH ROOM IN THE REAR.
Across the street on the northwest corner (202 North Harrison Street), an awning advertised W. E. C. SPADES drug store. The 1902 directory listed druggists MacDonald and Jordan at this address. They were not listed in Alexandria in a 1905 directory of druggists, but W. E. C. Spades was. The 1909 map set shows a drugstore at this location. The elk antlers hanging from the corner of that building signify the location of the B. P. O. E. (Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks) Lodge on the second floor of that building.

'Portobello ReCollection' is the fourth commission of the Portobello Road Arts Project.
This artwork transforms the 100-metre long wall at the northern end of Portobello Road into W11's own private record collection - a giant shelf of records representing the defining songs of Notting Hill, as identified through collaboration with DJs, musicians, record labels, stall holders and local historians.
