Opened in 1941, the Civic Detroit Theater was an Art Moderne style first-run house, which could seat around 1,455, all on a single floor. It was also known at various times as the Detroit Civic Theatre.
In 1980, it was acquired by Eric and Ervin Steiner, who triplexed the auditorium in 1981.
It closed in 1984, and was subsequently used as a furniture warehouse, though it retains some of its original decoration.
Oakland City Hall

Too much architecture. Too little time.
I only shot two photos in downtown Oakland on my way to Alameda Island. I'd actually taken a wrong turn and vowed to make an attempt to get back later in the afternoon. Sadly, I couldn't make the time.
So there's lots more opportunity in the Bay area for my camera and me next time out!
Back in downtown Launceston again. This time we're on the corner of St John and Cimitiere Street. We can see the spire of St Andrews Church at the top of the hill, and in front of that is the Town Hall. To the right of the Victorian building (in which the City Council Offices are located) here on the corner is the main city police station. The lines and light and shade made this a very interesting shot to compose.
Had done 86k miles at its last MoT, a healthy 12,000 up on the previous year. Inevitably it's had some failures on corrosion, but its owner seems keen to keep it going.
I was surprised to find such a good looking 1980 first generation Civic, and in such a very 1970s apple green colour to make it even better. This must be a facelifted model, since it has a hatch. First Civics did not come with one.

Walthamstow Town Hall was built between 1938-42 in an Art Deco style, to a design by architect Philip Dalton Hepworth. It is now the head office of Waltham Forest Borough Council.
An evening walk round an almost deserted town due to the World Cup on TV with England v Tunisia, was very pleasant. Southend Civic Centre on a sunny evening.
My friend sent me a link saying this theater opened in 1941 and ultimately closed in 1984. It had been used as warehouse space until it closed for good.

Trapani è un comune italiano di circa 69.000 abitanti capoluogo della provincia omonima in Sicilia. Trapani, conosciuta come Città del Sale e della Vela, ha sviluppato nel tempo una fiorente attività economica legata all'estrazione e al commercio del sale, giovandosi della sua posizione naturale, proiettata sul Mediterraneo, e del suo porto, antico sbocco commerciale per Eryx (l'odierna Erice), sita sul monte che sovrasta Trapani. L'economia oggi si basa sul terziario, sulla pesca (anticamente quella del tonno rosso, con la mattanza), sull'estrazione ed esportazione del marmo, sulle attività legate al turismo.
