The Schuylkill Mall's Kmart store is in the process of closing. The announcement to shutter the store came in February 2015, with the actual closure happening in June. This closing follows soon after a Sears store at the same mall closed its doors.
It is the last of the original three anchor stores to close, with Hess's closing in 1997, and Sears in 2015. This leaves the mall with only two original stores, GNC and Radio Shack as all of the other original stores have moved out at some point in the malls history.

this Roe hind has been in Staple woods for a few days now and is getting used to the dog walkers. This time I caught her youngster in the background.
So close, yet so far away

The sun was in a bit, and this peacock rested for a while on a blackberry leaf. I managed to sneak up close enough for this shot (at the cost of some thorn damage... ouch!).

This was taken duringsecond act of Cirque Alys Aerial Music, which took place on an outdoor stage (vice Act One that took place inside a concert hall) on the evening of Sept.28,2012, on the campus of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, in at the Alys Stephens Center for the Performing Arts.
It was an original production designed for the Alys Stephens Performing Arts Center by Willam Close, artistic director of MASS Ensemble, on the University of Alabama Campus at Birmingham.
William Close is the Founder and Artistic Director of MASS Ensemble.
William is an installation artist and musician that has developed over 100
new types of musical instruments. He is the inventor of the majestic stringed
instrument known as the Earth Harp.
The reason it is titled the Earth Harp is because the first time it was installed, the strings
ran from one side of a valley 1,000 ft. across to the other side, turning the
Earth / landscape into a giant harp.
The performance that evening combined theatre, sculpture, experimental music played on instruments designed by MASS Artistic Director William Close, and also featured eye-poping aerial artists.
This was a unique collaboration between a group of artists, musicians, and cirque performers whose creations were a first-time-togehter exploration of music and air, sound and space, during this wonderful week-long event.
Nobody can say that William Close cannot make musical rhthym out of anything available.
Drumstricks in hand, at times he was beating on the stage scaffolding making music.
Improvement comes in ever shrinking increments. That would normally bore me, but fortunately paper won't leave me alone.
Playhouse Close
Once 'a steep, narrow stinking ravine' from the commercial heyday of this poultry and fishmarket.
Home also to the City Hangman or 'Doomster', the last being a John High who died in 1817.
George Heriot, benefactor and founder of the Hospital and School which bear his name, lived here in 1856.
Daniel Defoe is also rumoured to have worked here as a secret agent to the English Government at the Treaty of Union in 1707.
The head of the close was for many years a station for a primitive fire engine dragged out by rope in the event of emergency.

Playhouse Close is so called because it was the site of the first public playhouse to be built after the Reformation in Edinburgh. Thomas Sydserf, son of a Scottish bishop, had made a brief, unsuccessful attempt to open one in the 1660s at his rooms in nearby Carrubber’s Close. The ambitious Sydserf wrote his own comedies, translated others from the French, and even managed to stage a production of Macbeth, but the disapproval of the kirk meant that there were few practising Scottish dramatists, and in 1669 Sydserf was assaulted by a gang with swords while at rehearsals in his rooms. He did, however, lay the foundations for future challenges to the kirk’s authority over the matter of public theatre.
Built in 1746, the playhouse on this spot opened to the public the following year. The famous tragedy Douglas, by the Edinburgh clergyman and writer John Home, was first performed here before transferring to Covent Garden in London. However, the theatre came under fire from the Kirk and the Town Council, both of whom opposed its existence, and it closed in 1786.
Before the Playhouse was built in 1746 there was no public theatre here, but that didn’t mean that the Royal Mile didn’t see a lot of what we might think of as processional ‘street theatre’ in the sixteenth century.
