While on one of my journeys, I found this. If someone would have seen me laughing, I'd be carted off to the funny farm! I just love that "NO TRESPASSING" sign hahaha, who would want to?? Duh, on second thought, I did!
Wishing everyone a safe and fun holiday weekend!
According to the theory this CTA train should start showing signs of graffit soon. Don't you knwo that when theres broken windows graffit often appears because the broken window shows signs of not caring. I guess the city doesn't care
This is part of the Illinois Soldiers' and Sailors' Home in Normal, IL. Most of the complex has been restored and/or reused. These buildings are waiting to be fixed up. Actually, these have been sitting idle in this poor condition for as long as I've lived in Normal - eight years. Windows are broken and rain and snow blows in. I wonder why the owner doesn't do something as simple as board up the windows in order to save the buildings?
ok, bad news/good news.
Bad:
I stopped at Walgreen's in Renton on the way home today. The good
parking spots were taken. I parked in the side facing Rainier Avenue, which I usually don't do. I went in to Walgreen's.
I came out 45 minutes later and saw glass all around my car. Looked closer and the driver's window was smashed. Completely gone.
Ran back in and told the security guard. Two of them came out and looked
around. One called the cops. They told me that the cameras don't cover the
whole lot and I had parked just barely outside of the camera range.
Good:
Not a single thing inside the car was touched. Which is good, because although I don't generally like to do this, I had left the iPod and the camera on the front seat... covered by a heavy wool cloak. Everything was still exactly as it should be. The radio is still there including faceplate. No damage or marking to/around the ignition. I think the seat was still in my position, but I am not sure. Nothing else seemed to have been touched at all. Really weird.
There was, however, an odd white mark on the outside of the door mirror.
The cop showed up and we watched the security cameras to see if anything
useful showed up and nothing did.
The theory is that either:
1. Someone smashed it in but since they did it right on Rainier Ave under a
bright bright streetlight, someone came along and saw them and scared them.
2. A large vehicle hit the mirror, leaving a white mark, and managed to pop
the window right out! (That seems like an odd theory to me... wouldn't there be more damage to the vehicle?) Evidence supporting this: more glass outside the car than in. But there was a bunch in too.
Anyway. My car has no window and I am not pleased.
It didn't deter the breaking of the window to steal the charger for the cell phone and the charger for the iPod. Nothing else taken, but a lot of damage done.
Doing some scouting because another model flaked on me. This building looked cool from outside, but there didn't seem to be a way in without acrobatics beyond my abilities. Oh well.

Found a tutorial for this effect - which I have always admired but had no clue how to do. Still practicing, but I liked it.
I was leaving the property without much of anything to show for it, and noticed the door on the abandoned rig was unhooked. I opened it up to find it empty except for the view. I liked it enough.
Old abandoned houses always make me feel at once sad and curious. This one was somewhere on the road in northwest Texas.
Hundreds of people took to the streets on March 28, 2018; to protest in New York City over the fatal police shooting of Stephon Clark, an unarmed black man in Sacramento, California; chanting and carrying signs as they marched from Columbus Circle to Times Square. Police say at least 11 people were detained. It was not immediately clear what charges they could face. (Photo by Erik McGregor)
