Touching sign filled with interesting bits of history about this store, and their philosophy. I first saw this sign in stoneofzanzibar's photos a while back, but had forgotten which store had it. Some items:
"Oak Brook Borders opened over 20 years ago across the street. We were the first (and will hopefully be the last) Borders in Illinois." [Orland Park & Moline were technically the last open.]
"This Borders location has donated more bags of coffee to the troops than any other in the company!"
"One employee even got married in the store by the GM. That's Borders love!"
Interesting fact: I was tipped off that Borders.com was shutting down today; I saw I had an hour left to use a gift card. I'd FORGOTTEN I had an old $10 gift card until after all the stores had closed. I used it about 11 minutes before it expired according to the site, so I wound up one of the VERY last Borders customers! (And yes, have a few photos left to post as of 9/27.)
American and Canadian flags fly over the "International Flag Plaza" on the Canada side of the border. I think there was a similar installation on the other side? Maybe? Not close enough to get a picture of though.
Hong Kong Transport - Trucks
The Hong Kong Truck Culture
The number of Trucks, Vans* and Special Purpose Vehicles (Light, Medium & Heavy) registered + licenced in Hong Kong seems to fluctuate between 120,000 - 125,000 vehicles and presumably new trucks registered are offset by old trucks being retired or sold over the border in China.
*Vans are classified as Light Goods Vehicles and are not shown in this album
In Hong Kong Trucks are classified as GOODS VEHICLES By the Transport Department - see below
☛Light Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight not exceeding 5.5 tonnes.
☛Medium Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight exceeding 5.5 tonnes but not exceeding 24 tonnes.
☛Heavy Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight exceeding 24 tonnes but not exceeding 38 tonnes.
The major truck types you tend to see in urban areas are trucks carrying construction materials or waste, dump trucks, concrete mixers and all sizes of delivery trucks... outside of the urban areas it is container trucks and large trucks carrying construction materials.
The following brands of Trucks can be seen on the streets of Hong Kong and include:-
Beiben ✚ Bell ✚ CAMC ✚ CNHTC ✚ DAF ✚ Dennis ✚ Dong Feng ✚ FAW ✚ Fuso ✚ Foton ✚ Ford ✚ Hino ✚ Howo ✚ Hyundai ✚ Isuzu ✚ Iveco ✚ JAC ✚ Kato ✚ KIA ✚ Liebherr ✚ MAN ✚ Mercedes Benz ✚ Mitsubishi ✚ Nissan ✚ Renault ✚ Scania ✚ Shacman ✚ Sinotruk ✚ Suzuki ✚ Toyota ✚ UD ✚ Volvo ✚ Zoomlion
Hong Kong is a brand conscious place even for trucks (!) hence the popularity of the European brands, Scania and Man are very popular and even the older trucks look the business and they are utterly reliable.
Isuzu is the market leader in terms of sale volume for all types of trucks.

I may have posted similar pics to this with my DSLR, sometimes I will take a pic with my phone first to see if I want to take it again with the DSLR camera.
This is just a cell pic from my Huawei cell phone. I never thought I would be posting my cell pics, but I was not able to travel last year because of Covid, so I am going thru my cell looking for old pics to post.
