I went to the observation deck of 450m in height for the first time on that day. I could look around lights of Tokyo to the distant place, but was unsuitable for the photography of the wide-angle lens there because a window was small.
On January 10, 2014 in the Tokyo Skytree.

僕はこの日初めて地上450ｍの展望台に行きました。 そこでは遠方まで見渡せますが、窓が小さいので広角の撮影には不向きでした。

Two mud nests of cliff swallow birds under an overhanging rock in the Silent City of Rocks. Cassia County, Idaho.
Cliff Swallows zoom around in intricate aerial patterns to catch insects on the wing. When feeding in flocks with other species of swallows, they often stay higher in the air. They build mud nests in colonies on cliff ledges or under bridges, eaves, and culverts. Courtesy: All About Birds.Org
our neighbor across the hall, janeanne, is insane. she is really loud, really crass, and really really nosy. a busybody. pretty much have to deal with her at least once a day, whether in the hall or because she has knocked. greg says he is going to tell her that we are private people and don't really want her to bother us unless it's an emergency. but he hasn't yet. whenever she knocks or something we are paralyzed in fear and just want her to go away.
personally, i think she has a little somethin somethin going on at her place. be it drugs or slight bit of prostitution, i dont know. lots of men coming and going. it's gross really.
she also yells on her speakerphone all day. luckily you can really only hear it in the hall and slightly in the kitchen.
i hate janeanne. i wrote this poem our second day at the apartment.
The Kent block is attached to its companion apartment building on Court St. by walkways with metal railings. Records indicate that this apartment building may have been built several years later than the actual Kent Block, although not later
than 1900. Although the front facade of the apartment block is faced with red brick like that of the Kent Block, the side walls are constructed of cream brick. There is a pressed metal cornice at the top of the building that features brackets, modillions, dentils, and swags. A brick corbelled frieze runs under the cornice. Two sets of two-story oriel bays decorate the upper stories. They are covered by pressed metal in a manner similar to those of the Kent Block. Windows are single light double hung sashes except for those between the bays. There are two round arched windows there that are decorated with segmentally arched lintels and stone sills. A stone belt course runs across the front facade of the building separating the first and upper floors. The first floor features simple entrances and windows.
Both the Kent Block and its companion apartment building housed many flats. The flats of the commercial block were called the LaVista Flats, while those on Court St. were known as the Court Street Flats. The businesses housed in first floor of the Kent Block itself included grocery stores until 1911 and the Janesville Floral Company until 1924 when they presumably moved to their new quarters south of this building. The building currently houses apartments and an office supply store.
A small apartment building, now home to a group of brigands. My contribution to the BrickFair 09 ApocaLEGO display.

My 1:200 model of the apartment building I live in. It's part of a multi-scale model and sits on top of the actual apartment in minifig scale.
For the most part it seems attention has been payed to the abandoned houses in the city of Detroit. That is likely due to the shear number of empty houses within the city. That is mostly due to the fact that Detroit, at one time, had more single family houses than any city in the US besides Los Angeles. Time one was if you lived in Detroit, worked on the line, you owned your house. While the city has never had the number of apartment buildings of say Chicago or New York, the few that are scattered throughout the city are grand beautiful buildings. Sadly, many sit empty these days.
