A stationary motorbike parked in front of a bright green wall with fast forward arrows painted on it. Seen in the underground carpark of a shopping centre.
I went to our local Woolworth to see what they had for Halloween and I found myself being watched. Maybe I should confront this employee I thought and was stumped by the worried look. Is it possible redundancies are on the agenda?
PS: Until I went close to this skeleton (life size) I had no idea it had eyes, it was almost a bit scary
The historic Woolworth's building has been under renovation for the past three years. The grand opening is slated for September or October of 2025. The nostalgic luncheonette counter will be up and running. Exciting!

Blackpool Tower is a tourist attraction in Blackpool, Lancashire, England, which was opened to the public on 14 May 1894. Inspired by the Eiffel Tower in Paris, it is 518 feet (158 metres) tall and is the 120th tallest freestanding tower in the world. Blackpool Tower is also the common name for Tower buildings, an entertainment complex in a red-brick three-storey block comprising the tower, the ground floor aquarium and cafeteria, Tower Circus, the Tower Ballroom and roof gardens that was designated a Grade I listed building in 1973.
The Woolworth's building on the corner of Adelaide Street West was designed by B C Donaldson and opened in 1937. It is built on the site of the former Woolworth's Bazaar and the Royal Hotel.

Das Sonntagsfarbbild kommt heute auch aus dem Saarland. Im Hintergrund klein zu sehen das Weltkulturerbe Völklinger Hütte.
Today's Sunday-Color-Picture also comes from the Saarland.
The Völklingen Ironworks World Heritage Site can be seen in the background.
The Preston Branch of Woolworths has a fine Art Deco facade,
and the floor of Preston is not an ashtray.
There is a £75.00 on-the-spot fine for cigarette litter.
The streets of Preston are paved, not with gold, but with chewing gum.
Back when i was tiny, which was a long, long time ago, me Mum used to take me here for a milkshake in the cafe at the back when she'd finished her shopping. Things have certainly changed a bit over the years.
Cass Gilbert, 1913. THE classic Gothic skyscraper, it reigned as the world's tallest building for 17 years. The facade is a mix of terra cotta tile and limestone.
Through much of the 20th century Woolworth's was a thriving and sprawling retail operation. Founder FW Woolworth popularized concepts like buying direcly from manufacturers, self-service selection of merchandise, and fixed prices. His "five and dime" stores were akin to America's contemporary dollar stores.
His customers were drawn by low prices but Woolworth himself was miserly and, reportedly not wishing to pay for dental care, succumbed to sepsis from a tooth infection.
Also in the mausoleum is his granddaughter Barbara Hutton, a woman of great wealth and very little happiness.
This is a very rare and awesome find, I honestly never knew this relic still existed at the Liberty Plaza!

Woolworths, 33 High Street, Margate, England. This store opened in 1925 and closed in 2009. It remained empty until 2019, when there were plans to turn it into a cafe, exhibition space, and co-working spaces on the ground floor.
