Here is Liverpool's new stadium, almost finished and looking good but as you can see there's still loads more work to be done on the surrounding area including the streets near by.
(did you know 'Anfield' is in Everton not Anfield)
Like many other places in the world, I suppose, Ohio weather keeps us guessing... and on our toes. With astrological summer still 10 days away, April showers have brought June flowers – and also the start of summer draught. I might make this same shot over the coming months to illustrate differences. These flowers are called evolvulus (blue) and calibrachoa (orange).
The Queen Anne-style building, at 303 7th Street, N.W., was completed in 1882. The building is in a restrained look, a colorful red-brick exterior with a golden cupola and dome. The structure was built to fit into the corner created by Indiana Avenue and 7th Street. The Fireman's Insurance Company owned the building through the 1950s.
Walls of The Old Town in Warsaw and The Barbican at background :)
Warsaw Old Town (Polish: Stare Miasto and colloquially as Starówka) is the oldest part of Warsaw, the capital city of Poland. It is one of the most prominent tourist attractions in Warsaw. The heart of the area is the Old Town Market Place, rich in restaurants, cafés and shops. Surrounding streets feature medieval architecture such as the city walls, St. John's Cathedral and the Barbican which links the Old Town with Warsaw New Town. The Old Town was established in the 13th century. Initially surrounded by an earthwork rampart, prior to 1339 it was fortified with brick city walls. The architecture of the Old Town has changed over the centuries along with the changing styles of art. During the Invasion of Poland (1939), much of the district was badly damaged by the German Luftwaffe, which targeted the city's residential areas and historic landmarks in a campaign of terror bombing. After World War II, the Old Town was meticulously rebuilt. In an effort at anastylosis, as many as possible of the original bricks were reused. However, the reconstruction was not always accurate to prewar Warsaw, sometimes deference being given to an earlier period, an attempt being made to improve on the original, or an authentic-looking facade being made to cover a more modern building. In 1980, Warsaw's Old Town was placed on the UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites as "an outstanding example of a near-total reconstruction of a span of history covering the 13th to the 20th century. The site is also one of Poland's official national Historic Monuments, as designated September 16, 1994. Its listing is maintained by the National Heritage Board of Poland.

Stare Miasto w Warszawie, zwyczajowo Starówka – dawne miasto Stara Warszawa, najstarszy ośrodek miejski Warszawy będący zwartym zespołem architektury zabytkowej, przeważnie z XVII i XVIII wieku o średniowiecznym układzie zabudowy, otoczone pierścieniem murów obronnych z XIV–XVI wieku. Współcześnie najstarsza część i obszar MSI w dzielnicy Śródmieście. Stare Miasto zostało założone na skarpie, nad brzegiem dopływu Wisły – rzeczki Kamionki, obok zamku książąt mazowieckich wzniesionego kilka lat wcześniej, na północ od wsi Warszawa. Jego początki sięgają XIII wieku. Wtedy otoczone było wałem ziemnym, który pod koniec XIV wieku został zastąpiony murem obronnym. Architektura Starego Miasta zmieniała się na przestrzeni wieków wraz ze zmieniającymi się stylami w sztuce. Pierwsze średniowieczne kamienice budowane były w stylu gotyckim, za czasów Zygmunta Augusta domy, odnawiane czy odbudowywane po klęskach żywiołowych, miały charakter renesansowy. Na początku XVII wieku kamienice zyskały barwne tynki i barokowe zdobienia. W 1944 podczas powstania warszawskiego zabudowania Starego Miasta zostały zniszczone w ok. 90%. Przetrwało sześć domów z ponad 260. Warszawscy architekci podjęli temat odbudowy stolicy już po pierwszych zniszczeniach w 1939. W pracowniach architektonicznych, konspiracyjnie lub pod pozorem innych prac, opracowywali plany urbanistyczne i dokumentacyjne. Zdecydowano się na przywrócenie świetności Starego Miasta z XVIII wieku, choć nie we wszystkich szczegółach. Zachowany został układ przestrzenny miasta z okresu jego lokacji z XII–XIII wieku. 2 września 1980 roku Stare Miasto w Warszawie zostało umieszczone na liście światowego dziedzictwa UNESCO. Warszawska Starówka znalazła się na liście jako jedyny na świecie (w tej skali) przykład niemal kompletnej rekonstrukcji.

A quiet street is flanked by red-brick buildings, with vehicles parked on the side and a church spire visible in the distance. Trees and shopfronts line the sidewalk, contributing to the quaint charm of this urban scene.

The Hotel Boulderado is located at 13th and Spruce St. in downtown Boulder, Colorado. It opened its doors on New Year's Day 1909. The original 1908 Otis Elevator is still in operation.
As one of the first Boulder hotels, it is located in the heart of downtown. The hotel's name comes from the words "Boulder" and "Colorado" so no guest would forget where they had stayed. The hotel is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. (#94001226)
Hotel Boulderado is a member of Historic Hotels of America, the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
The Hotel Boulderado houses three restaurants. Located off of the main lobby are Spruce Farm and Fish, a fine-dining restaurant, and the Corner Bar, a more casual eatery. The basement contains a speakeasy-style bar, License No. 1, which recently replaced Catacombs. All three restaurants share a kitchen.
The Hotel Boulderado appears in Stephen King's novel Misery.
History
In 1905, Boulder was home to 8,000 residents, the University of Colorado, one of the Chautauqua cultural and educational resorts, and twenty-six automobiles. Residents called the city the "Athens of the West." As a new-forged railroad hub, the city did have some hotels to accommodate visitors, but in December 1905, the city council launched the "hotel proposition," furthered by the Boulder newspaper, the Daily Camera. Committees from Boulder's Commercial Association raised funds in the form of $100 subscriptions, and the Boulder Hotel Company was formed, which owned the hotel until 1939.
The hotel was opened with a Gala Ball on New Year's Eve of 1908. The first guests checked in on New Years Day, 1909. The first guest register is still on display in the main lobby, and the modern hotel still commemorates their opening every year with a New Year's Eve Gala Ball, voted the #1 Place to Celebrate New Year's Eve by Downtown Boulder readers.
Ghost Sightings
It is said that Room 347 at Hotel Boulderado is haunted and has had many ghost sightings throughout the years. Many guests have complained that the water has turned on sporadically throughout the night.

In the 16th century, the wealthy Baker family erected a grand Renaissance courtyard manor. The main survivor from this era is the eye-catching redbrick Tudor Towers that would have once been a stunning entrance to the courtyards at its feet. Still standing are some of the ancient walls that now create Sissinghurst Castle’s enchanting walled gardens.

We are going to visit the castle in Malbork :)
The Castle of the Teutonic Order in Malbork, the largest Gothic castle complex in the world, is a 13th-century Teutonic castle and fortress located near the town of Malbork on the river Nogat in Poland. It was originally constructed by the Teutonic Knights, a German Catholic religious order of crusaders, in a form of an Ordensburg fortress. The Order named it Marienburg in honour of Mary, mother of Jesus. In 1457, during the Thirteen Years’ War, it was sold by the Bohemian mercenaries to King Casimir IV of Poland in lieu of indemnities and it since served as one of the several Polish royal residences and the seat of Polish offices and institutions, interrupted by several years of Swedish occupation, and fulfilling this function until the First Partition of Poland in 1772. From then on the castle was under German rule for over 170 years until 1945. The castle is a classic example of a medieval fortress and, on its completion in 1406, was the world's largest brick castle. UNESCO designated the "Castle of the Teutonic Order in Malbork" and the Malbork Castle Museum a World Heritage Site in December 1997.
