Subject : Signage for Re-use & Recycling Centre, Park View Road N17
Please see these two photos I've posted on Flickr. (1) and (2)
Both show stuff dumped on the pavement almost within sight of the entrance to the Council's Re-use & Recycling Centre in Park View Road N17.
Over the years I've complained on behalf of local residents living opposite or close to the Centre, who clearly suffer an increased level of dumping. I assume some of this is left by people who arrive when the Centre is closed.
But, I wonder if - given the high and increasing turnover of people in the area - it might be helpful to improve the signage outside so it is slightly more 'user friendly', welcoming and informative. How about a board with some pictorial information about what can be brought there? I've posted this photo to show the existing signage.

We were given two free reusable grocery bags at the Giant in Columbia Heights today. I think we're going to leave them by the front door to remind us to actually use them, in light of DC's new 5 cents per platic bag tax. We already have reusable bags but forget to bring them with us half the time.

I dropped off our recycling today and grabbed this shot.

A view of the water and the wall at Tanner Springs park in the Pearl District in Portland, OR. This design is by Greenworks, and I believe Herbert Dreiseitl....I can't remember the artist's name who helped to work on this wall.
The park restores an area of a natural spring, and recalls the cultural and physical history of the site by reusing rails from the old railroad. The rails splay along a retaining wall.
Made for a friend from some home decorator fabric I bought on sale and didn't know what to do with. :)
Shelf
Dimensions: 5 ft’ 5.5ft
Material: Wood and metal pipes
This installation is made out of waste pipes that have been rusted and are defunct due to any reason. A team of 5 boys, leaded by me, has developed this idea of making a productive installation that can be put to some use. The installation incorporates pipes of various sizes and with that it gives space to other material too like taps and valves. All the material used was obtained from either the construction sites of toilets or the waste collectors. The objects in the installation that were not obtained out of waste were wooden planks. These were cut out according to the requirement and to fulfil the desired design. The turns and twists in the design of the shelf gives it a very different look and attracts people to look at it closely.
This shelf is currently being used by the School’s Art department to display various Clay Models and other Sculptures.

“The Saturn V is the ideal icon to represent a big dream. This rocket was designed and built as a collaboration of nearly half-a-million people and allowed our human species to venture beyond our world and stand on ANOTHER - SURELY one of the biggest dreams of all time. ENABLING THE DREAMS of young people to touch this mighty rocket sends a powerful message in conjunction with creating an educational curriculum to engage students to embrace the power of learning through many important subjects”

This doesn't look very exciting does it ?
But to me it means that we're almost at the end of a long project and I'll be free again soon to have a bit of time off !
Mais duas meninas que vão ter um lanche mais alegre todos os dias!! :)

I also decided to convert a lot of Amazon Prime trucks into ice cream trucks with electric swing arm stop signs like on school buses and the current yellow trapezoid Children Slow Crossing warning blades that word "CHILDREN SLOW CROSSING" to replace all of the older ice cream trucks that still have the old red trapezoid Children Slow Crossing warning blades that word "IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO". All of the older ice cream trucks that still have the old former red trapezoid children slow crossing warning blade that word "IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO" will all be torn apart and have their pieces be used as new McDonald's PlayPlace play equipments replacing the dangerous crawl tubes and ball pits since McDonald's also has been making safety improvements to their PlayPlaces by using better play equipments seen athttps://playtime.com/showcases/towers/mcdonalds-playplace-solutions/ replacing the nasty dangerous crawl tubes and ball pits and some of the newer McDonald's PlayPlaces like the epic one in Orlando has arcade games. The Amazon Prime Trucks that are converted into Ice Cream Trucks will go to Mister Softee, Wholesale Clubs such as Costco and BJ's, and other ice cream truck service on safety updates on ice cream trucks. But there will always be brick and mortar stores in real life and Due to that New Jersey was the slowest on phasing out the bad old outdated red trapezoid Children slow crossing warning blades that word IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO because of some mean teachers at school forcing some ice cream trucks to keep their red trapezoid and made a bad and mean-spirited law of ice cream trucks requiring those bad old outdated red trapezoid children slow crossing warning blades that word IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO which is extremely confusing to people who are death, color blind, can't read or don't speak English in some of New Jersey, I hereby MOST Amazon warehouses in New Jersey to all be converted into Blue's Clues Handy Dandy Notebook prop replica manufacturing plants and convert most Amazon prime trucks in New Jersey into better and safe updated ice cream trucks with the good awesome current updated yellow trapezoid children slow crossing warning blades that word CHILDREN SLOW CROSSING and School bus stop signs which are octagon shape for the state of New Jersey to also include disabled people in the future too and tear apart the last remaining of the ice cream trucks with the bad old outdated red trapezoid children slow crossing warning blades that word IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO and recycle all of them into brand new Blue's Clues Handy Dandy notebook prop replicas and reuse the arm the bad old outdated red trapezoid Children Slow crossing warning blades that word IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO for the brand new stop signs of the new school buses of the future.
Bullocks Wilshire was first just going to be a new branch for the downtown Bullock's Department Store. It quickly transformed into the most high-end department store in Los Angeles and ultimately became its own high-end chain. Death came knocking in the late 1980s when department store shares turned into junk bonds. Bullocks Wilshire was ultimately acquired by Macy's (pre-Federated) and changed into I. Magnin (which also ultimately died). This store closed in 1993. It was acquired by the Southwestern Law School in 1994. In one of the greatest adaptive reuses in department store history it was transformed into classrooms, office space, and a library. All keeping the original details and ornament. Here's to Southwestern!!
The store was designed by John and Donald Parkinson (they designed most of the architecturally significant buildings in the city); it was completed in 1929. The tower tops out at 241 f eet.
The building is not truly open to architectural tourists but if you're nice enough they don't mind you going in to see the more public spaces. (And I got a coffee cup with an image of the department store!!).

Evermine Labels – Elks Building Renovation Before and After photo 7 of 28
The Evermine Label Company was able to renovate and relocate their custom label manufacturing businesses to the former Elks building in downtown La Grande with the support of City of La Grande Urban Renewal Grant of $75,000. Future plans include ongoing renovation and adaptive reuse of the rest of this once iconic downtown building.
It’s been a busy year at the former Elks Building in downtown La Grande as Evermine Labels has turned this space into their new home and production space. What an incredible transformation.
We were thrilled to be able to support this redevelopment effort with a Call For Projects grant through the City of La Grande’s Urban Renewal program and grateful for the additional support from La Grande Main Street Downtown.
Throughout the project we’ve been privileged to be able to take an occasional tour and see the process over the last year. As the owners wrap up the Evermine space we are excited to see the upcoming transformation of the rest of this iconic downtown building when they begin work on the original Elks building portion of the space.

The Naval Training Center San Diego was commissioned in 1923 as a Naval training station. The majority of the buildings were constructed in the 1930s and early 1940s. The NTC was officially closed by the Navy in 1997. It is now a mixed-used area of shops, gallery's, schools, and housing. The oldest portions still have yet to be adaptively-reused.

Having just done a delivery on the same road I was pleased to see this old friend so pulled over to take a quick shot of it
This was a great way to use reuse some of the trash we generate. Since all the trash goes into $3.00 trash bags, less is a good thing.
