35 Commercial Street, Nanaimo, BC.
Description of Historic Place:
The Caldwell Block is a two-storey, Edwardian style commercial building on the main downtown thoroughfare in Nanaimo. The historic place is confined to the building footprint.
Heritage Value:
The Caldwell Block is an integral part of a continuous line of largely intact, similarly scaled buildings located on the west side of Commercial Street.
Built in 1908, the Caldwell Block is a good example of a modest, vernacular Edwardian Commercial style building. The original brick façade is obscured by stucco but some of its features, including a cornice with brackets and moulded fascia, are still visible. Traces of the painted Caldwell's Clothing House sign are visible on the building's east side. Despite alterations, the building has maintained its character and reinforces the Edwardian era appearance of the west side of Commercial Street.

It must be the most photogenic festival I've visited in months, the crazy colorful Bungalup in Zeewolde, Holland. Put the house in carnival and use a fading bungalow park as center of this energetic universe. The result is a outrageous mdma-infused party that lasts for three days and includes a tropical swimming pool and lots of fake hair.
On July 21, 2018, FDNY celebrated its second Block Party of the summer at Engine 307 and Ladder 154 in Queens.
The effect of a few un-scheduled diversions! About 6 trains were running buffer to buffer owing to an overload on the system, and the Train in which I traveled took over an hour to cover the 3.55 kilometre distance between Vikhroli and Ghatkopar.
You know what's even nicer than getting bee blocks in the mail? Collecting them in person!
Danke, Ihr Lieben, fuer die schoenen Bloecke!
I'm sick of people adding faves and comments, yet when you go and look at their profile, they have no contacts and no photos available. I now block these people automatically. You may want to do the same - they are after private photos, e-mail adresses or want to coax you onto sites you don't want to see.
Add a link to this on your profile page too, so everybody sees it all the time.
Thanks to xollob58 (Neil) for this.

Blocked up entrance, Brinksway deep level air raid shelter.
Underneath Stockport are three deep level air raid shelters. Two are bricked up, Brinksway and Dodge Hill, and a third, Chestergate is open to the public.
These are the largest purpose built shelters in the UK, and were tunnelled out of the soft sandstone. Work started on the tunnels in 1938 and the first set of shelters was opened on 28 October 1939. Stockport was first bombed on the 11th October 1940. The smallest of the tunnel shelters could accommodate 2,000 people and the largest 6,500 people.
Stockport is only 6 miles away from Manchester, the local folk complained the Mancunians were taking up all the room inside the shelters.
The tunnels were 7 feet wide and 7 feet high and had electric lighting and wooden bench seating. There were toilets, mostly chemical although a few were plumbed into the mains. A warden’s post, a first aid store and a tool store were also provided.
As the threat of bombing receded in 1943, it was decided that the tunnels no longer needed to be open every night. After the end of the War, the tunnels were sealed up and remained virtually as they had been after the war.

Jaipur is the capital and largest city of the Indian state of Rajasthan in Northern India.
Jaipur is also known as the Pink City of India.
Located at a distance of 260 km from the Indian capital New Delhi, it forms a part of the Golden Triangle tourist circuit along with Agra (240 km). Jaipur is a popular tourist destination in India and serves as a gateway to other tourist destinations in Rajasthan such as Jodhpur (348 km), Jaisalmer (571 km) and Udaipur (421 km).
A trip to the Amber Fort is a popular destination when touring Jaipur, but visitors are increasingly adding what critics have called ‘a little gem of a museum’ on to their list as well. In the Fort’s shadow and a mere ten minute walk through the cobbled streets of Amber, the historic capital of Rajasthan, lies the Anokhi Museum of Hand Printing (AMHP). Located in a magnificently restored haveli or mansion, the museum displays a varied selection of block printed textiles alongside images, tools and related objects – all chosen to provide an in-depth look into the complexity of this ancient tradition.
this is a big block, 15.5 inches...i was inspired by the medallion print...made me think of the moon and stars...this is what i came up with. not a snippet of fabric left!
Another embroidery inspired block print. This one was influenced by a classic Turkish design.
Also, I am not usually a fan of purple, but I have had this violet ink kicking around in my studio for awhile now. About time I used it!
In 1983 the block was awarded the Kasper Salin Prize for building of high architectural quality by the Swedish Association of Architects. Built: 1983-87. Architects: Arken Arkitekter, Klas Tham and Peer Ove Skånes.
