The Minidoka Relocation Center, 15 miles north of Twin Falls and 150 miles southeast of Boise, was also referred to as the Hunt Camp. Minidoka was considered a model environment because of its relatively peaceful atmosphere and population that got along well with the administration. Because it was not within the Western Defense Command restricted area, security was somewhat lighter than at most other camps. But when the internees first arrived, they were shocked to see the bleak landscape that was to be there home over the next three years.
Located on the Snake River Plain at an elevation of 4000 feet, the land is dotted with sagebrush and thin basaltic lava flows and cinder cones. The internees found the environment to be extremely harsh, with temperatures ranging from 30 degrees below zero to as high as 115 degrees. They also had to contend with blinding dust storms and ankle-deep mud after the rains.
Minidoka was in operation from August 10, 1942 to October 28, 1945. The reserve covered more than 33,000 acres of land in Jerome County. The camp’s peak population reached 9,397 by March 1, 1943, and it became Idaho's third largest city. Five miles of barbed wire fencing and eight watchtowers surrounded the administrative and residential areas, which were located in the west-central portion of the reserve.
Most of the people interned at Minidoka were from the Pacific Northwest: approximately 7,050 from Seattle and Bainbridge Island, Washington, 2,500 from Oregon and 150 from Alaska, including children or grandchildren of Eskimo women and Japanese men. They were temporarily housed at the Puyallup Fairgrounds in Washington, then sent by train to Idaho. In early 1943, all of the Bainbridge Island, Washington, residents interned at the Manzanar Relocation Center were transferred to Minidoka at their own request because of constant conflict with the internees from Terminal Island in Los Angeles.
The central camp consisted of 600 buildings on 950 acres. When the first internees arrived at Minidoka in August 1942, they moved into the crude barracks even though much of the camp was unfinished and there was no running water or sewage system. The Army insisted on having all Japanese removed from the West Coast at once, and they did not halt the evacuation until the camp could hold no more. The last group of 500 evacuees to arrive at the camp had to sleep in mess halls, laundry rooms, or any available bed space. Waiting in line for many daily functions, especially meals, was common.
The camp’s residential area encompassed 36 blocks and was one mile wide and three miles long. Each block included 12 tarpaper barracks, one dining hall, one laundry building with communal showers and toilets and a recreation hall. Immediately after arrival, the internees were instructed to see the camp physician, and then they received an apartment assignment. Apartments were of three sizes, and where possible, family groups or relatives were placed near each other. Efforts were later made to move people near their place of employment.

WEEK 18 – BAM Southaven Relocation: New Store, Set 2
Once along the rear wall and looking to the right, we get this view. Perhaps the most notable omission from the new store’s magazine section as compared to that of the old store is the giant T-shirt display in the middle, which as I mentioned already did not move over. Additionally, certain magazines the old store used to carry were also dropped, including Doctor Who Magazine. (Not surprising: US bookstores carry it a month behind!)

WEEK 43 – TM Relocation Revisited
Speaking of furniture, here’s a pic of it! It’s now more accessible and easily navigable; in the old store, there was no cut-through walkway, and the base that all furniture stood on was higher off the ground. Perhaps that loss is gained in the now-taller shelves for home décor, seen on the left-side wall – a minor complaint of mine. But in the grand scheme, they’re maximizing space, so that’s nothing to complain about! It also makes sense to have furniture and home décor together now, too, where they were on opposite sides of the old store.

Avro 534 Baby
“Mon Repos” – Bert Hinkler’s house
This building once sat over 16,000 kilometres away amongst the oak trees of Thornhill Estate in Sholing, Southampton, England.
Built in 1925, it was named “Mon Repos” after the Bundaberg beach where the young Bert Hinkler tested his homemade gliders.
Bert Hinkler shared “Mon Repos” with his partner Nance Jarvis from 1925 until his death in 1933.
Close to Bert’s workplace, the AV Roe Experimental Works at Hamble, “Mon Repos” became a haven for his many friends and colleagues from the aviation industry.
Bert planned most of his record-breaking solo flights in the living room. He used the secluded fields around the original site to carry out tests on the “Ibis”, the amphibious aircraft he designed and built with Roland Bound in 1929.
After Bert died, Nance continued to live in the house until 1952 when she emigrated to South Africa. It then became the property of the Southampton City Council and home to a number of families. In 1982 “Mon Repos” was listed for demolition to make way for a block of retirement units.
Bundaberg resident and long-time Hinkler admirer Lex Rowland became concerned that such an historic building might be destroyed. In response to a national advertisement for projects to support the Australian bicentenary celebrations Lex came up with a plan to relocate the house to Bundaberg, Hinkler’s birthplace, and create a museum in Hinkler’s honour.
Such an undertaking had only been attempted once before in Australia’s history, the relocation of Captain Cook’s cottage from England to Melbourne in 1934. However, community support for the proposal showed this was a building of immense national interest.
With only weeks remaining to meet the Southampton City Council’s demolition deadlines, the Bundaberg Bicentennial Committee appointed a subcommittee to plan the relocation.
In May 1983 the three-man dismantling team set off for the United Kingdom to effect the brick by brick pull down of “Mon Repos” house. A month later, the house was shipped to Australia in two 20 tonne containers.
Here in the grounds of the newly-created Bundaberg Botanic Gardens “Mon Repos” was painstakingly rebuilt under the control of Site Manager, A E Bent, and the Rotary Club of East Bundaberg with S C Lohse and J A Rowland assisting.
Hinkler House Memorial Museum opened on 16 June 1984. The adjoining Hinkler Hall of Aviation opened on 8 December 2008.
Hinkler House Memorial Museum gratefully acknowledges the support of the Committee and the loyal group of friends and volunteers who made the project possible. [Ref: Plaque at Mon Repos]

His pioneering solo flights in light aeroplanes included England to Australia (1928) and Canada to England, via Brazil and West Africa (1931).
Bert Hinkler was born at Bundaberg, Queensland, on 8 December 1892, and lost his life in an aircraft crash on Mount Pratomagno, Italy, on 7 January 1933, while on a flight to Australia. [Ref: Plaque in Botanic Garden]
In 1933 Hinkler left Heathrow on 7 January in his Puss Moth, on a flight to Australia and disappeared. The crashed plane and Hinkler’s body were found on the northern slopes of Pratomagno in the Apennines between Florence and Arezzo, Italy, on 27 April. He had survived the crash and died outside the wreckage. On Mussolini’s orders he was buried in Florence with full military honours.

HINKLER’S DARING EXPLOITS
The following brief account of Lieutenant Bert Hinkler's career appeared in the March issue of the “Aircraft," published in Sydney:-
From England, unheralded, after an absence of seven years, Mr Bert Hinkler landed in Sydney on March 18. With him is the 35 hp (Green) Avro "Baby''— G-EACQ — in which he last year made the brilliant non-stop flight of 650 miles from London to Turin, and which, a few weeks later, and without overhaul, he piloted to second place in the London Aerial Derby.
These two achievements should have brought Australia's leading newspaper men scurrying down to the wharf as soon as his uncommon (but now familiar) name appeared in the “Ascanius” passenger-list. One would have thought so, at any rate. But Hinkler, apparently, is destined to be "without honour in his own country." At the time of writing he has been back six days and no reference to his presence in our midst has yet been published in any Australian paper. He expects to leave Sydney at the end of the month, or early in April, but before returning to his wife in England he will call upon his parents in Bundaberg, Queensland, and say, "Bertie's come home from the war!”
Of diminutive build, the young Queenslander is a veritable dynamo of energy and of almost inexhaustible resource. Whether it be a flight from Australia to New Zealand, a non-stop to Melbourne or Brisbane or any other stunt. On Friday, March 18, as soon as the "Ascanius" had docked, he made a bee-line for Union House, introduced himself, to the Avro agents (A A & E C Ltd), announced that the "Baby" was on board and asked for workshop accommodation at Mascot, which was readily given. Informed that the Royal Agricultural Show would open on the following Monday and that the Avro people would exhibit, he hastened back to the wharf, located the case, got it out of the hold and carted down to Mascot the same afternoon. During the weekend he entirely reassembled the historic machine and bright and early on opening day had the "Baby" on view at the A A & E Co's stand. There the writer found him, chatting with Messrs Nigel Love and W E ("Billy") Hart [both pioneer aviators].
“For sheer perserverance” remarked the last-named member of the party, “Bert is hard to beat. I remember him calling at my office in Sydney about nine or ten years ago, when I was doing a little flying on my own. He had made a special journey all the way from Bundaberg, where he had been experimenting with gliders, and literally begged me to give him a job. Eventually I got "Wizard” Stone [A B Stone, American aviator] to take him as a mechanic. They were together for some time.”
Hinkler said: "I just made my way to England and prowled around the drome at Kingston, sticky-beaking into this, that and the other, until at last Tom Sopwith realised that it would be less trouble to find me a job in his factory than to hunt me off the premises day after day. So he signed me on as a mechanic.”
On the outbreak of war, youth and inches notwithstanding, he was accepted by the RNAS — chiefly on Mr Sopwith's strong recommendation—and September 1914 found him a full-fledged second-class air-mechanic (2/ a day) attached to the Coast Defence Station at Whitley Bay, Northumberland. While there the first Zeppelin ever sighted by a British aeroplane was seen over the coast, and Hinkler enjoys the distinction of being the Observer in an 80-Gnome "Bristol” that was sent up to attack her. The raider immediately headed for the Fatherland, chased by the "Bristol' until some thirty miles out to sea when her pursuer lost their bearings in a cloudbank. Hinkler on this occasion was armed with nothing more formidable than an old rifle and a couple of signalling rockets.
Transferred to France early in l9l6, he took part in the first long-distance air raids on German towns along the Saar Valley: later, from the Dunkirk base, he was engaged in several night bombing raids, on a Handley Page 0/400. Next (on D H 4's) came a series of day-bombing excursions, the objective being a chain of enemy aerodromes scattered throughout Belgium.
In his leisure he patented the Hinkler Double Lewis Gun and got it generally adopted by No 5 Squadron, RNAS. It is noteworthy that his CO was a brother Australian, Wing-Commander S J Goble, now a member of the Commonwealth Air Council and Air Board.
Mr Hinkler obtained his pilot's commission in 1917, while in France and was posted to No 28 Squadron, RAF ('Camels'), stationed in Italy, where he remained until the Armistice.
Last year, suffering acutely from what he describes as "airman's itch”, he procured the “Baby” and fitted it with “a few little gadgets” of his own – notably the movable needle jet for carburettor adjustment, the Hinkler Compass and the Hinkler Altitude-Recorder.
Then, having increased the petrol capacity from 10 gallons to 25, he one day astonished and delighted the entire flying world by making the record (and hitherto unattempted) non-stop flight from London to Turin — now also a matter of history. This accomplished he flew, on to Rome and then back to London, "dropping in" quite casually and unexpectedly in time for the Avro people to feature his "Baby” as star attraction of the Aeronautical Exhibition at the Olympia.
While this exhibition was in progress he suddenly decided to enter his machine for the Aerial Derby (a circuit of 200 miles) for which race he took it straight from the Olympia. The engine had already run for 50 hours without attention, but there was no time for tuning before the Derby. In this contest it was, of course, necessary to run the little "Green" full out. He attained second place in 2 hours 45 minutes, beaten for the premier position by Captain Hammersley, also on an Avro "Baby"— but a brand new one. This performance speaks extremely well for the reliability of the 35 hp engine and has proven a revelation to many flying experts, particularly on the point of petrol consumption, his average on the London-Turin flight being 33 miles to the gallon.
The hero of these exploits is to be guest of honour of the New South Wales Section of the Australian Aero Club, who will entertain him to a banquet at the Hotel Australia.

Lucy Jackson (Oct.11, 1867-after 1923)
Known as: Princesse Lucie, La Belle Jackson, Bella Jackson
African-American Singer & Dancer
Lucy Thomas, born c. October 1867 (or 1869) in Charleston, South Carolina had no known relatives besides an uncle Richard Brown from Virginia. At some point in the 1880's, young Lucy Thomas relocated to Savannah, Georgia where she met and married Gilbert Jackson on April 19th, 1886 in a ceremony conducted by the Rev. Harry B. Hamilton. Strangely, the couple doesn't appear in the 1890 US Census, in fact neither of them appear in any records except during their wedding.
In the spring of 1895, talent scout and stage manager Billy McClain, with the financial backing of Nate Salsbury (formerly of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show), thought of the idea of exploiting America's slave heritage by romanticizing it into a sort of human zoo. Over 300-400 African-Americans from Virginia, Georgia and the Carolinas were hired and transported up to New York (a young Lucy Jackson amongst them) for this massive production. On May 11th, South Brooklyn's Ambrose Park was completely renovated for the show's production, erecting nearly 100 log cabins to accommodate the cast of 400 negroes. A cotton gin was also constructed, bales of cotton, cotton bushes, poultry and livestock were scattered throughout the park.
Opening May 25th, 1895, "Black America" was promoted as outdoor theme-park extravaganza showcasing the American Negro, "from the jungles of Africa to the civilization of America." For six weeks, the production showcased a Baltimore brass band, jubilee singers, acrobats, foot races, buck and wing dances as well as performances from the star of the entire production, Miss Flowers. On July 15th, the show moved up to Boston, performing in a huge tent along Huntington Avenue and performing in parades on major Boston streets for eight successful weeks. Returning to New York on September 16th, the show performed for the remainder of the month at the Winter Garden Theater. The show later moved on to Philadelphia's Grand Opera Theater (Oct.4-Nov.30) and Washington DC's Convention Hall (Oct.22) before finally falling apart. Unfortunately, the show wasn't financially successful and left the directors in debt. The proposed plan to take the show to London was promptly cancelled and Nate Salsbury moved on to produce his latest venture, "Darkest America".
On April 15th, 1896, the remnants of "Black America" (now composed of 25 members) boarded the Erie 8 train from Marion, Ohio heading east to New York, where a ship awaited to take them to Europe. At some point, Bavarian theater director Ludwig Anwander from Schliersee had taken over the show. In September 1895, during his first trip to America, he witnessed the production and offered to take the production to Europe. Arriving in Berlin by May 25th, the show performed throughout the month at a German Exposition. The following month, the show appeared at Leipzig's Theater Hotel Stadt Nurnberg (Jun.1, 1896) possibly for another month's engagement. On July 1st, the show was back in Berlin at the Theater Neu-Berlin before disappearing. It seems they left for Chemnitz, as Lucy files for a passport at the American Consulate on July 8th, presenting her 1886 marriage certificate to the consul as proof of her American origins. Another detail on this passport was inability to sign her name, signing two X's as her signature. Afterwards, the show returned to Berlin, where it played a week at the Belle-Alliance Gardens. In August, for a week, the troupe performed in the port city of Stettin at the Elysium Theater (this time with only 12 members). Around this point, Herr Anwander sold the show to a Russian Impresario before he returned home to Southern Germany.
Crossing into the Russian frontier during the late summer of 1896, the show's new manager arranged two lengthy engagements in St. Petersburg and Moscow, where the show became a popular novelty act before eventually dissolving. Lucy remained in Russia for the next three years.
On January 10th, 1899, after possibly touring around the Russian Empire, Lucy arrived at the American Consulate to apply for a new passport in preparations for a solo European tour. Ten months later, she appeared at Prague's Olympia Theater (Nov.1-15) for two weeks, where she was billed as the Schwarze Schonheit (Black Beauty) from South Africa's Transvaal. Nearby, the young Arabella Fields was appearing at the Etablissement Sykora. The following year, she returned to Prague, appearing as Princess Lucie Jackson at the K.u.K. Hofbrauhaus (May 16-19).
In April 1901, Lucy was in Berlin engaged at the famous Passage-Theater performing German lieder to enthusiastic audiences.
In December 1903, she was performing at Hamburg's Sagbiel Etablissement (Dec.5-23). On December 18th, during this engagement, she visited the American Consulate for a new passport before crossing the border the following month back home into Russia. Strangely, she listed Montreal as her birthplace.
After a possible St. Petersburg engagement, Lucy (now billed as La Belle Jackson) performed the Cake-Walk at Helsinki's Societethuset, also known as the illustrious Seurahuone Hotel (Feb.21-Mar.18, 1904). This was followed by a lengthy Scandinavian tour. In April, she had a month's engagement in Stockholm's Svea Salen Theater (Apr.9-22). In August, she could be seen at Copenhagen's Vennelyst Variete (Aug.24-Sep.9). Established in 1892, the Vennelyst was a large alloment garden in central Copenhagen, dotted with numerous small allotments and cottages, where the Danish working-class could unwind. On August 28th, after a performance, a Danish man, Mr. Woller attempted to grab and kiss Lucy in the streets, which resulted in her beating the man severely according to local newspapers. The duo were seized and taken to the nearest police station before being promptly released. On September 14th, Lucy moved over to the Apollo Teatret (Sep.14-25) beside the Tivoli Gardens on the Vesterbrogade, where she was billed as the Sorte Nattergal (Black Nightingale) for two weeks.
Late-1905, while Russia suffered from the Russo-Japanese War and the 1905 Revolution, Lucy travelled to Austria, appearing at Vienna's Joh. Weigl's Variete (Jul.1, 1905) and Lemberg's Colosseum Hermanow (Nov.8-15) before disappearing altogether.
On December 16th, 1906, Lucy resurfaced in Switzerland, performing as a member of the "Smith and Bella Jackson" duo at Basel's Cardinal Theater. Her new partner, William Henry Smith (Apr.21, 1879) from Philadelphia. Arrived in Europe in 1903 with the "12 Georgia Piccaninnies", Mr. Smith eventually abandoned the troupe sometime in 1906 to join Lucy.
Early 1907, the couple traveled east to Budapest, where they were engaged for a month and a half at the Nemzetkozi Orfeum (Feb.16-Mar.19). On February 16th, they also secured a new passport from the American Legation. On May 18th, they moved over to the Szinhaz Variete. On July 21st, the couple arrived in the Hungarian city of Szeged (near the Romanian border), appearing at the Tarka Szinpadon.
Early 1908, the duo traveled southeast to Romania, applying for a passport at Bucharest's American Embassy on April 22nd. Interestingly, Lucy had began learning how to sign her name (possibly due to the aid of Smith), as noted by her poorly written signature on the passport application. That summer, Smith and Jackson returned to Russia, appearing in the "Grand Concert Divertissement Cosmopolite" at St. Petersburg's Bouffe Gardens (Jul.4-Aug.11).
In March 1910, the duo were at Hamburg's Flora Theater, where interestingly enough, Bella Jackson was praised for her performance of Tyrolean folk songs. Two months later, they were thrilling audiences in Budapest's Karolyi Gardens (May 26-Jun.1). Throughout the year, they were bombarded with numerous engagements across the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In August, they were at Teplitz's Cursaale Theater (Aug.5), the following month at Budapest's Feher Cabaret (Sep.29-Oct.1). In October, they traveled north to Lemberg's Casino de Paris (Oct.8-15) before heading east to Czernowitz (along the Russian-Romanian border) to perform at the Variete Bellevue (Oct.16-30) for two weeks. In December, they were in Vienna, where they applied on December 29th for a new passport to travel into Romania.
Throughout 1911-1912, the duo toured across Romania, Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey and Egypt. During the course of this tour, they became acquainted with the Cousins (an American duo composed of Afro-American singer, Sam Cousins and his Austrian-American wife Bertha). In May 1912, Smith and Jackson were back in Europe, performing at Vienna's Café Trianon (May 1-13). Four months later, they were at Budapest's Kabaret Pannoniaban (Sep.29-Oct.6) and later Kabaret Magyar Kiralyban (Oct.22-31).
Early 1913, the couple found themselves in northern Austria (Bohemia), appearing in Reichenburg's Meiningers Variete (Mar.1-6) and later Prague's Kabarett Wespe (Jul.20). That winter, while engaged in Hamburg, the pair applied for a passport on December 23rd for their plans to return east to Romania and Russia.
During the spring of 1914, the couple were back in Prague, residing at 47 Wenzelsplatz. While there, the couple joined African-American artist Mose Harris, forming the "Philadelphia Trio". The trio spent two weeks at the Alhambra Palais de Danse (Apr.16-30). In June, the trio crossed into the Russian Empire, performing for two weeks at the Majorenhof Sea Pavillon in Riga (Jun.1-15). On June 28, 1914, during their Baltic tour, Gavrilo Princip assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in Sarajevo, setting in motion the events leading to the outbreak of World War I. On August 4, after Germany invaded Belgium, while simultaneously attacking France, Great Britain declared war on Germany. The Philadelphia Trio arrived in Petrograd on September 17th.
By October 1915, they had relocated to Moscow, settling in the Hotel Boston as noted by their passport application on November 24th. For three months, the Philadelphia trio were among the leading attractions at the Maxim Cabaret (owned by famous African-American businessman Frederick B. Thomas). By the fall of 1916, the Philadelphia Trio had seperated and Smith & Jackson relocated to Petrograd, appearing at the Sirene Cinema (Sep.15-16).
Early 1917, they were performing at the Kino-Palace (Jan.17-22) and later the Kino-Olympia (Apr.18-21). The duo briefly returned to Moscow on April 19th to obtain new passports before returning to the Russian capital.
On March 8, 1917, over seven thousand female textile workers from St. Petersburg's Vyborg district, marched through the streets crying for bread. The shortages had left the lower class starving, cold and desperate. From March 9-15, Cossacks patrolled the streets and machine guns were positioned everywhere. Protesters filled the streets only to be met by gunfire. All the blood spilling in the streets caused many soldiers to mutiny and join the mobs. Prisoners across the city were released into the streets, gendarmes were murdered, courthouses, arsenals, shops, private homes and the Ministry of the Interior were looted and ransacked. Mobs killed any respectable looking men, causing many gendarmes to strip their uniforms and flee the city. On March 16, Tsar Nikolai II abdicated and many aristocrats fled to the countryside. The old order evaporated and anarchy spread.
In August, they were back in Moscow, making sure to renew their passports again on August 21st with fellow entertainer, Peter C. Johnson. Smith and Jackson were last seen in Russia on October 6th, registering with the consulate and preparing to board the Trans-Siberian train east towards Harbin.
Early 1918, after a brief engagement in Harbin, the duo continued south through Peking towards Shanghai, arriving in the Republic of China's largest city by July. After a four month engagement in Shanghai, on October 15th, the pair applied for new American passports before packing up for the Philippines. The duo were engaged for six successful months in Manila, due to the popularity of American Ragtime in Southeast Asia at the time.
On April 25th, 1919, Smith and Jackson boarded the SS Suwa Maru heading towards an engagement in Hong Kong. The following month, they were found in Malaya, at Singapore's Palladium Theatre (May 26-31) and later the Gaiety Theatre (Jun.3-9). That winter, they were engaged in British India, performing in the bustling city of Calcutta. On December 9th, while applying at the American Consulate-General, Smith and Jackson both listed that they were now married. In 1920, the couple appeared across Burma, the Dutch East Indies, Sumatra, Siam and French Indochina before returning home to China.
On January 29, 1923, William H. Smith died at Shanghai's General Hospital and later buried at the Bubbling Wells Cemetery. Lucy, who was residing at the Continental Hotel, cancelled their upcoming appearance at Singapore's Stadium and disappeared completely.

As an experiment in the 1950s, Inuit children were taken from their families in Greenland to be re-educated in the Danish way of life and language.
Learning to play with other types of toys was one of the new things to learn.
The short rebar column dates back to the original construction of the Metro Green Line in the 1990s, as does the two turn-outs "hanging in the air" - for an "eventual" connection to the airport. Current plans are to run the south end of the proposed Crenshaw Corridor along the abandoned freight train right of way along Aviation Boulevard - with a station at Century Boulevard (still a mile from the airport). An actual transit connection to the airport is "under discussion" - for now there is a shuttle bus from the Aviation Boulevard station of the Metro Green line (across the street). The airport starts in the center of the photo but the main terminals are still about a mile north and a mile west.
The design details of connecting the Green Line stumps to the existing freight line alignment, while fitting under I-105 and not blocking Aviation Boulevard or Imperial Highway, seems like a significant challenge. The project map shows a transition from subway to elevated near Imperial Highway - details not clear how this will be done.
Added September 2013: preliminary work (utility relocation) has started on the Crenshaw Corridor. The exact route and station location remains controversial - current plans do not include a direct connection to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). "Maybe" a "people mover" connection to the Airport - no better than the current bus connection.
Added February 2014: saw some construction activity where the railroad tracks cross Imperial Highway. The British publication "Tramways & Urban Transit" reported that the groundbreaking was on 21 January 2014. The people mover link to the airport is confirmed. Opening is expected in 2019.
March 2014 - from the project website:
"As part of the construction of Crenshaw/LAX Transit Project, Walsh-Shea Corridor Constructors will begin removal of old railroad track along the Metro’s right-of way from Florence Av between Crenshaw Bl and Manchester Av and Aviation Bl between Manchester Av and Imperial Hwy. Railroad crossings at the intersections will be removed in the future. It is anticipated that the work is scheduled to begin Monday, February 3, 2014, for approximately 4 months"
No mention of a direct link to the Airport.
Added August 2014: the rebar column has been disturbed, some of the bars are bent. The tracks have been lifted and a work truck is sometimes parked nearby.
Added January 2015: some workers were seen in this area; steel beams are being stockpiled nearby, probably for the elevated structure to connect the Crenshaw Corridor to the existing Green Line stubs.
Added February 2015: the Crenshaw Corridor will never reach the airport. Instead an "Intermodal Center" is proposed at Aviation and 96 Street with an "Automated People Mover" into the airport as part of a $4 billion airport upgrade. Hardly a step forward from the current shutle bus!
Added March 2015: two large cranes are on the site doing preparations for construction of the ramp from the ground to the existing Green Line stumps. Large diameter corrugated culvert segments are piled up. The street in front is being restriped and diverted for a planned 2 year construction period.

A look down Chelson Street (formerly Bagnall Street) from Uttoxeter Road in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent.
The old pottery factory on the right, the Stanley Works, dates back to 1898 and was first operated by the Plant Brothers who had relocated from their former factory in Burslem.
The premises then traded as the New Chelsea Porcelain Co. from 1912, which became a limited company in 1951 and continued to operate until 1961. In the iterim New Chelsea Porcelain Co. Ltd aquired the business of Jackson & Gosling Ltd and operated from this works until 1969 as Grosvenor China Ltd.
The old building now operates under the title of Stoke Studio College for Construction & Business Excellence, with Quantum Fabrications operating from the building to the rear.
The building on the left of the street is the redevelopment of the old Enson Works to form the CoRE (Centre of Refurbishment Excellence) project.

The Minidoka Relocation Center, 15 miles north of Twin Falls and 150 miles southeast of Boise, was also referred to as the Hunt Camp. Minidoka was considered a model environment because of its relatively peaceful atmosphere and population that got along well with the administration. Because it was not within the Western Defense Command restricted area, security was somewhat lighter than at most other camps. But when the internees first arrived, they were shocked to see the bleak landscape that was to be there home over the next three years.
Located on the Snake River Plain at an elevation of 4000 feet, the land is dotted with sagebrush and thin basaltic lava flows and cinder cones. The internees found the environment to be extremely harsh, with temperatures ranging from 30 degrees below zero to as high as 115 degrees. They also had to contend with blinding dust storms and ankle-deep mud after the rains.
Minidoka was in operation from August 10, 1942 to October 28, 1945. The reserve covered more than 33,000 acres of land in Jerome County. The camp’s peak population reached 9,397 by March 1, 1943, and it became Idaho's third largest city. Five miles of barbed wire fencing and eight watchtowers surrounded the administrative and residential areas, which were located in the west-central portion of the reserve.
Most of the people interned at Minidoka were from the Pacific Northwest: approximately 7,050 from Seattle and Bainbridge Island, Washington, 2,500 from Oregon and 150 from Alaska, including children or grandchildren of Eskimo women and Japanese men. They were temporarily housed at the Puyallup Fairgrounds in Washington, then sent by train to Idaho. In early 1943, all of the Bainbridge Island, Washington, residents interned at the Manzanar Relocation Center were transferred to Minidoka at their own request because of constant conflict with the internees from Terminal Island in Los Angeles.
The central camp consisted of 600 buildings on 950 acres. When the first internees arrived at Minidoka in August 1942, they moved into the crude barracks even though much of the camp was unfinished and there was no running water or sewage system. The Army insisted on having all Japanese removed from the West Coast at once, and they did not halt the evacuation until the camp could hold no more. The last group of 500 evacuees to arrive at the camp had to sleep in mess halls, laundry rooms, or any available bed space. Waiting in line for many daily functions, especially meals, was common.
The camp’s residential area encompassed 36 blocks and was one mile wide and three miles long. Each block included 12 tarpaper barracks, one dining hall, one laundry building with communal showers and toilets and a recreation hall. Immediately after arrival, the internees were instructed to see the camp physician, and then they received an apartment assignment. Apartments were of three sizes, and where possible, family groups or relatives were placed near each other. Efforts were later made to move people near their place of employment.
Wendy has been marking volunteer trees while she can still identify them for the imminent relocation this winter.
Church of St Wendreda, March Cambridgeshire mainly mid 14c, c1400, late 15c & c1528. The dedication to 7c St Wendreda. daughter of King Anna of East Anglia is the only one in the UK. After her parents' and brother's death she relocated to March and ministered to the people of the Fens. Her relics were enshrined in gold in Ely Cathedral until in 1016 when they were carried off to battle in the hope they would bring victory to Edmund Ironside, son of King Ethelred. But at the Battle of Ashingdon King Canute captured them and he later presented them to Canterbury Cathedral. In 1343 her remains were returned to March and it is likely it became a place of pilgrimage. Her final resting place is unknown
1350-1400 Four stage tower, 14c Nave heightened with clerestory windows in late 15c when the south aisle was rebuilt , followed by the north aisle . 1582 South Porch
The wonderful double hammer beam roof www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/tt3nm8 with 120 winged angels, was placed over the nave late 15c- 1527 , which John Betjeman described as "worth cycling 40 miles in a head wind to see" made by the Rollsbury brothers of Bacton, near Stowmarket, Suffolk. They would have hired sub-contractors in the nearby viilages of Drinkstone and Ixworth to fashion the timbers and figures out of oak. Close examination of the angels reveals no trace of paint or gilding, so it seems that we see them today as they were intended to be seen.
It was possibly funded partly by William Dredeman 1501 www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/Hh99n4 and Anthony Hansart & wife Katherine Southwell 1507 www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/699r5k plus money from pilgrims to the shrine of St Wendreda

These pictures are of a Jo-Ann fabrics store in Elyria, Ohio relocating from an older location (former US Merchandise store) in a dying shopping center to a larger (former Sofa Express) store in a shopping center anchored by Giant Eagle, Target, and Home Depot. This move makes at least the second time Jo-Ann has relocated in Elyria; possibly the third time if they were originally a mall tenant like other older Jo-Ann stores were commonly.
