Leaving Michigan, 2006. Strand Theatre, Sturgis, MI.
I saw Jarhead here over Christmas with Ian. It was $4 and the theatre consisted of ten half rows of seating and a tiny screen. It was a fun experience because everyone talked to on another before the show (some during) and treated it more like viewing a film in their living room among friends than at a public theatre. What was interesting was that a guy brought his two young kids with him to see it. One kept talking and asking questions about the "adult" content but his dad just hushed him.
At the concession they asked "are you from out of town?" because we were visibly shocked by their incredibly cheap drinks and snacks. I think it was maybe at the most $2 for a bag of popcorn. If you are ever in the area, visit! The owner was incredibly nice also ;]
A building that I may often pass when I'm up in London, as it is by the northern end of Waterloo Bridge. It is also adjacent to the Strand.
Duchy House dates from 1897 and these days is used for accommodation for students studying at the Courtauld Institute of Art.
Not a bad location eh?

When it opened on April Fools Day 1892 the Strand Arcade was regarded as the very latest in shopping centre designs and was described as: "The finest public thoroughfare in the Australian colonies."
One-hundrend-and-eighteen years, two depressions, two World Wars and two major fires later, it still stands, a little out of place, in the heart of modern Sydney's CBD.
The early 1900s are remembered by people who travelled to the city from the suburbs by tram especially to see the electric lights in the Strand Arcade – one of the first places in the city to be lit by electricity. It was browsers paradise. Shops crammed onto the ground floor included stamp and book specialists, milliners and jewellers working in the windows of their shops, because there was nowhere else to sit. For twenty years it was a thriving, friendly place, a haven in the heart of Sydney.
An "indiscretion" in the Wentworth Hotel between a "lady in a low cut dress" and a "slightly drunk" party-goer swung the Strand Arcade into the 20s. The details of the incident are sketchy but it led to an unceremonious eviction from the hotel of Sydney jeweller and well known man-about-town, Percy Stewart Dawson and a new racier image for the Strand. Dawson vowed he would never be thrown out of a nightclub again. To guarantee that he decided to build his own: The brightest and the best night spot Sydney has ever seen. He chose the basement of the Strand Arcade for the venue of his club, The Ambassadors Café. The club housed a large, extravagantly decorated ballroom which seated 700, and a small Palm Court used mainly for luncheons and afternoon tea dances.
The twenties roared as much in Sydney and the Strand Arcade as they did around the world. The shops were busy and the dance club attracted fashionable and colourful people.
The Strand Arcade remains a majestic beauty in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Sydney's CBD. Many retailers including The Nut Shop, Elie's leather Repair and Strand Hatters have traded for decades, becoming well known Sydney institutions.
het is nog heel stil op het naaktstrand
ook strand onderhoud is nodig
b.v. mechanisch schoonhouden van de vloedlijn
een zandstorter is op zee en onderweg naar de stortplaats.
Het op diepte houden van de route Vlissingen/Antwerpen
levert veel zand op.
Het bijstorten van zandstranden is ieder jaar nodig.
`a never ending story´
Looking out across the rising evening tide from Worthing Pier. The raised view looking West along the strandline with the horizon cropped out, focus upon the gradation from warm at the top to cool at the bottom of the frame, suggests a Sunset, without showing the sky.
