I had to go to Macomb Mall a couple of weeks ago because that's where the warranty for my tires lives. When I got there, I saw that they were wrecking one of the mall's original anchor stores from when it opened in the 1960s, as part of the mall's renovation.
The great old neon sign persists, for now. When I walked past it, it sounded like lots of birds echoing off of metal.
Macomb Mall was originally developed in 1964.

Brettenham Village Sign was provided by Brettenham Village Fund and erected in 1988. It stands on the Village Green, which is the triangle of land outside the Church and was registered Common
Land in 1968. It features the church of St. Mary The Virgin, the chancel of which can be seen centre-right behind the roadsign. Also featured are a wheatsheaf, chestnut tree and "Vinegar Bible", a copy of which is contained in the church. The wooden seat which can be partially seen in front of the church is dedicated to the memory of Mr Tom Horrex and was bought by the Fund in 1989 with a donation from the Village Hall Committee.

You have to look closely, but if you do you can spot some telltale signs that winter is just around the corner...
Just some random tre shots after our first winter storm of the season (10 days in advance of winter -- not unheard of here, but not so common either).
We had about 10 inches over 2 days. Not bad.

Louisville is the largest city in the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the 29th most-populous city in the United States. It is one of two cities in Kentucky designated as first-class, the other being Lexington, the state's second-largest city. Louisville is the historical seat and, since 2003, the nominal seat of Jefferson County, located in the state's north and on the border with Indiana.
Louisville was founded in 1778 by George Rogers Clark, making it one of the oldest cities west of the Appalachian Mountains. It is named after King Louis XVI of France. Sited beside the Falls of the Ohio, the only major obstruction to river traffic between the upper Ohio River and the Gulf of Mexico, the settlement first grew as a portage site. It was the founding city of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, which grew into a 6,000-mile (9,700 km) system across 13 states. Today, the city is known as the home of legendary boxer Muhammad Ali, the Kentucky Derby, Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), the University of Louisville and its Louisville Cardinals athletic teams, Louisville Slugger baseball bats, and three of Kentucky's six Fortune 500 companies. Its main airport is also the site of United Parcel Service's worldwide air hub.
Since 2003, Louisville's borders have been the same as those of Jefferson County, after a city-county merger. The official name of this consolidated city-county government is the Louisville/Jefferson County Metro Government, abbreviated to Louisville Metro. Despite the merger and renaming, the term "Jefferson County" continues to be used in some contexts in reference to Louisville Metro, particularly including the incorporated cities outside the "balance" which make up Louisville proper. The city's total consolidated population as of the 2017 census estimate was 771,158. However, the balance total of 621,349 excludes other incorporated places and semiautonomous towns within the county and is the population listed in most sources and national rankings.
The Louisville-Jefferson County, KY-IN Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), sometimes also referred to as Kentuckiana, includes Louisville-Jefferson County and 12 surrounding counties, seven in Kentucky and five in Southern Indiana. As of 2017, the MSA had a population of 1,293,953, ranking 45th nationally.

Fourth Street Live! is a 350,000-square-foot (33,000 m2) entertainment and retail complex located on 4th Street, between Liberty and Muhammad Ali Boulevard, in Downtown Louisville, Kentucky.

Fourth Street Live! first opened to the public on June 1, 2004, and all stores were completed for the grand opening on October 30, 2004.
