The New Sound Garden,October 26, 12013 Christchurch New Zealand.
The inner city rebuild is a noisy affair. The ear-piercing drill of jackhammers offering a jarring contrast to the all- encompassing background noise that is the sound of "twinkle toes" and friends nibbling away at undressed buildings.
Trent Hiles, of Greening the Rubble, who landscaped the site, came up with the idea for Gap Filler and enlisted local artists Gaby Montejo, Jason Ware and Tim McGurk.
"Jason and I were working on a project for Rekindle furniture and were asked to take available debris from destroyed houses to make robust instruments which we did, then Jason, Tim and I put our heads together and Sound Garden appeared," Montejo says.
The trio sourced unusual preloved and repurposed materials to make their unique instruments.
"I've made drums from giant pipes, children love them, they play them with their whole bodies not just their hands. Tim's made a xylophone of tubes that you can slap and play, and Jason has made a huge rain stick that's 3 metres long."
Sound Garden is playful and is about making your own sweet sounds as contrast to the sometimes deafening demolition noise scape.

Marlow (historically Great Marlow or Chipping Marlow) is a town and civil parish within Wycombe district in south Buckinghamshire, England. It is located on the River Thames, 4 miles (6.5 km) south-southwest of High Wycombe, 5 miles (8 km) west-northwest of Maidenhead and 33 miles (53 km) west of central London. The name is recorded in 1015 as Mere lafan, meaning "Land left after the draining of a pond" in Old English. From Norman times the manor, parish and later borough was formally known as Great Marlow, distinguishing it from Little Marlow. The ancient parish was large, including rural areas north and west of the town. In 1896 the civil parish of Great Marlow, created in the 19th century from the ancient parish, was divided into Great Marlow Urban District (the town) and Great Marlow civil parish (the rural areas). In 1897 the urban district was renamed Marlow Urban District, and the town has been known simply as Marlow Marlow is recorded in the Domesday Book as Merlaue. Magna Britannia includes the following entry for Marlow: "The manor of Marlow, which had belonged to the Earls of Mercia, was given by William the Conqueror, to his Queen Matilda. Henry the First, bestowed it on his natural son, Robert de Melhent, afterwards Earl of Gloucester, from whom it passed, with that title, to the Clares and Despencers, and from the latter, by female heirs, to the Beauchamps and Nevilles, Earls of Warwick. It continued in the crown from the time of Richard III's marriage with Anne Neville, until Queen Mary granted it to William Lord Paget, in whose family it continued more than a century; after which, it passed, by purchase, to Sir Humphrey Winch, in 1670; to Lord Falkland in 1686; to Sir James Etheridge in 1690; to Sir John Guise in 1718; and to Sir William Clayton in 1736. It is now the property of Sir William Clayton bart. a descendant of the last purchaser". Marlow owed its importance to its location on the River Thames, where the road from Reading to High Wycombe crosses the river. It had its own market by 1227 (hence the name Chipping Marlow), although the market lapsed before 1600. From 1301 to 1307 the town had its own Member of Parliament, and it returned two members from 1624 to 1867.

Viking borough sign in Wirral
From the Old Norse - þing vollr, meaning 'assembly field' which was the site of Viking power.
Thingwall was once the centre of Wirral’s substantial and politically independent Viking settlement. The Vikings would meet there to discuss law and policy and it would also be a great time of meeting old friends and festivity.

Like it? It's yours for the right price. If no one saves it, it'll be landfill when the building is purchased and bulldozed. I'd take it in a heartbeat, but it's far too large for my property. I didn't measure it, but I'd guess it's about 8 or 10 feet across, and somewhere between 15 and 20 feet high. A lot of the neon tubing is intact, but as far as I know, it's not working. I'm someone could restore it, if interested.
It'd be a shame to see it crushed and discarded.
UPDATE: As of Nov 25th, the sign has been removed, and is on it's way to it's new owner in North Dakota. (A sign collector) I'm proud that I could help save this sign.
The original 1975 sign for Billerica Mall hasn't changed much other than dropping the "plus" logo and original lettering which resembled this cost cutting replacement. The plus logo once corresponded to the family of malls like this one located in other suburbs of Boston, including Chelsea.

This is a funny example of differences between Dutch and Afrikaans.
Inligting means information, both in Dutch (inlichting) and Afrikaans. But in Afrikaans Aftrekplek means a place where you can get of the road (in this case to the information) whereas in Dutch it would mean a place to masturbate.
A great old scaffold sign, still sitting on a roof in downtown Kenosha. The drug store is gone, and the sign no longer lights up.
An absolutely beautiful, stylish sign on a deli in Kingston, NY. Apparently now just a memory, but it did grace this place for many years. I can't tell you how much I love the type treatment on HUB!
