Inside of GUM, Moscow, Russia.
Directly opposite the Mausoleum, on the eastern side of the square, lies the building which houses Russia's most famous shopping mall - the State Department Store, GUM. Since the fall of communism, several other shopping centers and hypermarkets have sprung up to rival it in prestige, but GUM retains its status as a consumer Mecca for visitors to Moscow. In the Soviet Union, the top floor was home to Section 100, a secret clothing store only open to the highest echelons of the party. Nowadays the rows of exclusive boutiques are accessible to anyone with a platinum card. That said, the building itself is glorious, and there are still a few more interesting relics of a bygone era on the higher floors that make it well worth exploring.
The site has been used for trading throughout history. By 1520 there was already a large stone arcade standing here. Fire destroyed the old Upper Trading Rows, as they became known, and the current building was completed in 1893. A joint project between architect Aleksander Pomerantsev and engineer Vladimir Shukov, its steel framework and glass roof were, at the time, on the cutting edge of technology, and give GUM a certain resemblance to a large European station. It has an area to match and, at the end of the 19th Century, it was the largest shopping center in Europe. Before the 1917 Revolution it contained a staggering 1,200 stores.
In 1928, GUM was closed by Stalin, who decided to use the building as the headquarters for officials working on the first Five Year Plan. GUM was reopened in 1953, and became one of the most popular sites for the legendary Soviet queues, which could at times extend all the way across Red Square. After privatization in the early 90s, it rapidly became the address of choice for top-end Western retailers. Journalists and travel writers often comment on the sharp contrast between prices in GUM and poverty in Russia - as if the majority of New Yorkers get their clothes from Saks, or the average Londoner could afford to do their grocery shopping in Harrods. Even if you don't intend to buy anything, a tour of Red Square should always include a quick stroll down the aisles of GUM.
The Forest Fair Mall was opened in 1989 and originally featured Bigg's Hypermarket, Bonwit Teller, B. Altman, Elder-Beerman, Parisian, and Sakowitz as anchor stores. By the early 2000s, all of the anchor stores original to the mall had closed except for Bigg's Hypermarket.
The mall underwent two major renovations since its debut. One was done in the early 1990s to make the mall more of a discount-based mall and cost $8 Million. Mills later took over the mall and spent nearly $70 million renovating the struggling mall into Cincinnati Mills, which opened in 2004. Bass Pro Shops, Showcase Cinemas, Kohl's, and Burlington Coat Factory later moved into the mall to replace the original anchor stores. Mills was later taken over by Simon Malls. After struggling to keep the mall filled, Simon sold the mall off. The name was changed to Cincinnati Mall in 2009. The mall reportedly changed its name to Forest Fair Village in 2013 but never officially changed any of the exterior or interior signs saying "Cincinnati Mall".
This mall is very modern for a dead mall. I guess it goes to show that some malls just can't be saved no matter how much money is poured into them. There are two other major malls within several miles of this one that were built earlier with more stable (in the long run) anchor stores like Sears and JCPenney. This mall was also built off an exit that didn't get nearly the development as around the area's other malls. The mall still seems most commonly refered to as Cincinnati Mills. Today, this nearly 2,000,000 square foot mall has only Kohl's, Bass Pro Shops (leaving later in 2015), and Babies R Us as anchor stores. The interior of the mall is (by my estimate) about 95% empty.

Vredeborch Kera Junior
German 120 format Rollfilm camera.
Produced around 1961.
Complete with box :-)
Strange however is that the name Vredeborch is nowhere to be found !
Not on the box, not on the camera and not on the instruction sheet.
There is an article number on the box : 14.60.3000/12,50
I believe that the last part (12,50) is probably the advised price in Dutch Guilders.
So this may come out of a batch special made for a wholesaler or hypermarket chain.

The Andersons is a small chain of four supercenters/hypermarkets in Toledo and Columbus, Ohio. This location was built in 1986 and is 147,034 square feet. The company announced that they were shutting down all their stores in Spring 2017. When I took these photos on March 4th, the closing sales didn't seem to be underway yet and the store was still being stocked. The store also seemed insanely busy, but I did take these photos on a Saturday (likely the busiest day). Due to the number of people, I couldn't get too many photos inside this store. I can't imagine this location was losing money and it was pretty updated on the interior. The other Andersons store I visited in Reynoldsburg, on the other hand, seemed less busy and less updated.

Centre Commercial Borj Fes 27/06/2022 15h09
The modern mall near the new center of Fès opened in May 2013. It extends over three levels. It includes around sixty stores, a Carrefour hypermarket, a food court, a children's play area and a garage in the basement. The construction site began in 2010. The shopping center cost 400 million dirhams of investment.
The logo of the mall is a square of its name in geometric Arabic characters.

Roadtrip [9] 17/06/2017
On the planning of my last day of this holiday and roadtrip was my ride home via a hypermarket in the North of Paris, Valenciennes and Charleroi (for the one and only but huge space invader mural), Brussels, Antwerp and Utrecht.
I left hôtel Ibis Nogent-sur-Marne at 08h55 and went to Vincennes to photoflash space invader PA_1282 and I revisited Versailles to find the one I didn’t find yesterday (VRS_03). I spent only 40 minutes in Versailles and went via McDonald’s Créteil N6 to Carrefour Parinor to do my shoppings. Finally left Carrefour and the région Paris at 14h30 to go North. Via A1 (Autoroute du Nord) and A2 (Cambrai, Denain, Maubeuge). At 17h11 I arrived in Charleroi to photoflash CHAR_01. Had my last meal in a very nice and new McDonald’s restaurant in Charleroi and drove away here at 18h31. Had a break at Oosterhout at Andy from 20h41 till 21h55 and arrived finally at home at 22h48. Driving 643.4 kilometers in total today (291 km in France [45.3%], 234 in Belgium [36.4%] and 118 km in the Netherlands [18.3%])
The grand total this holiday and roadtrip was 3,688 kilometers.

One odd thing I noticed about this mall was the fact that all of the escalators were turned-off. Maybe I just find that odd because I haven't been to another two-story mall as dead as this one...
The Forest Fair Mall was opened in 1989 and originally featured Bigg's Hypermarket, Bonwit Teller, B. Altman, Elder-Beerman, Parisian, and Sakowitz as anchor stores. By the early 2000s, all of the anchor stores original to the mall had closed except for Bigg's Hypermarket.
The mall underwent two major renovations since its debut. One was done in the early 1990s to make the mall more of a discount-based mall and cost $8 Million. Mills later took over the mall and spent nearly $70 million renovating the struggling mall into Cincinnati Mills, which opened in 2004. Bass Pro Shops, Showcase Cinemas, Kohl's, and Burlington Coat Factory later moved into the mall to replace the original anchor stores. Mills was later taken over by Simon Malls. After struggling to keep the mall filled, Simon sold the mall off. The name was changed to Cincinnati Mall in 2009. The mall reportedly changed its name to Forest Fair Village in 2013 but never officially changed any of the exterior or interior signs saying "Cincinnati Mall".
This mall is very modern for a dead mall. I guess it goes to show that some malls just can't be saved no matter how much money is poured into them. There are two other major malls within several miles of this one that were built earlier with more stable (in the long run) anchor stores like Sears and JCPenney. This mall was also built off an exit that didn't get nearly the development as around the area's other malls. The mall still seems most commonly refered to as Cincinnati Mills. Today, this nearly 2,000,000 square foot mall has only Kohl's, Bass Pro Shops (leaving later in 2015), and Babies R Us as anchor stores. The interior of the mall is (by my estimate) about 95% empty.

The Andersons is a small chain of four supercenters/hypermarkets in Toledo and Columbus, Ohio. This location was built in 1986 and is 147,034 square feet. The company announced that they were shutting down all their stores in Spring 2017. When I took these photos on March 4th, the closing sales didn't seem to be underway yet and the store was still being stocked. The store also seemed insanely busy, but I did take these photos on a Saturday (likely the busiest day). Due to the number of people, I couldn't get too many photos inside this store. I can't imagine this location was losing money and it was pretty updated on the interior. The other Andersons store I visited in Reynoldsburg, on the other hand, seemed less busy and less updated.

In the days following NBC subsidiary PMT's MAP revisions ... which almost always amounted to retrenchment, Stonier's picked up some of the marginal services discarded. One such was the direct Tunstall to Talke Pits service which ran via Chatterley Valley and Peacock Hey which had sort of lost it's purpose with the closure of industry along the valley. End to end passengers appeared to prefer to use the massively longer but much more frequent service via Kidsgrove, which always seemed odd. In an effort to improve the 111's appeal (not 66 as seen above!), a new diversion at the Talke Pits end was added which served the very popular and much lamented Co-oP Normid Hypermarket. The service was also extended at the Tunstall end too, but all the tweaks failed to generate any worthwhile extra custom, eventually leading to it's total curtailment.
Here, apparently with a Shell emblem bolted to it's roof, is ex GM Buses Pennine bodied AEC Swift TDK 541J leaving the store driven by Syd Jackson. 541 was the only one of the six operated within the Berresford group to carry a 'J' suffix plate, all the others carried 'K's.

This area was pretty dark for a mall. The rest of this mall seemed to be lighter.

Satay or sate, is a dish of marinated, skewered and grilled meat, served with a (peanut) sauce. Satay may consist of diced or sliced chicken, goat, mutton, beef, pork, fish, other meats, or tofu; the more authentic version uses skewers from the midrib of the coconut palm frond, although bamboo skewers are often used. These are grilled or barbecued over a wood or charcoal fire, then served with various spicy seasonings.
Known as saté or sateh it is fully adapted in Dutch everyday cuisine. Pork- and chicken satays, almost solely served with spicy peanut sauce, are readily available in snackbars and supermarkets. Pork or chicken satay in peanut sauce, with salad and French-fries is popular in pubs or eetcafes.
The word "satay" is derived from Indonesian: sate and Malay: saté or satai, both perhaps of Tamil origin. Satay was supposedly invented by Javanese street vendors as the adaptation of Indian kebab. This theory is based on the fact that satay has become popular in Java after the influx of Muslim Tamil Indian and Arab immigrants to Dutch East Indies in the early 19th century.
Another theory states that the word satay is derived from the Minnan-Chinese words sa tae bak meaning three pieces of meat.[citation needed] However this theory is discounted since traditional satay often consist of four pieces meats, while number four is considered as inauspicious number in Chinese culture.
Satay may be served with a spicy peanut sauce dip, or peanut gravy, slivers of onions and cucumbers, and ketupat (rice cakes). Pork satay can be served in a pineapple-based satay sauce or cucumber relish. An Indonesian version uses a soy-based dip.

I am going to take a break from posting the rest of the Pittsburgh pictures for a while. I have to finish a post on the Century III Mall for Dead & Dying Retail and I generally don't post pictures used in posts on Flickr until after the post is published. I also don't want to spend too much time posting pictures from the same area or backlogged photos I took nearly a year ago. For the time being, I will be posting some more recent pictures from smaller trips I have taken.

Franklin Marketplace, 1 Franklin Mills Blvd; opened as the French hypermarket chain Carrefour in 1988, before the opening of the mall. Carrefour left the US market and closed in 1992; the majority of the store became Bradlees in 1994 (relocating from their Bensalem location). Bradlees closed in 1997, and the store became the second Philadelphia Wal-Mart in 1998. Store has an odd "T" shape where you enter down a long hallway, which then opens up into the store. Rest of the building is now Dick's and Raymour & Flanigan.
Half-dead Walmart Supercenter in Forest Park, Ohio. This Walmart store was opened in 2006. The store was 220,000 square feet when it first opened. Despite its large size for a Walmart, it was outdone with a 245,000 Bigg's hypermarket and a 230,000 square foot Meijer store at the same interchange. Bigg's hypermarket closed in 2008. Also, in 2008 this location was not performing up to Walmart's standards so a 93,000 square foot section of the store was shuttered, making the store only 127,000 square feet. The auto center and garden center were completely closed while the other departments were downsized to fit into the shrunken store. Both the general merchandise and garden entrances were shut down and reworked to look a little less Walmart-like. The store is only open from 6 am to midnight.
This was a Walmart test during their early "Project Impact" days. Since Walmart was building stores around 150,000 square feet they wanted to downsize a decent number of the 200,000+ square foot stores into the smaller format in a similar fashion to this. This test must not have worked out the way Walmart wanted it to since only one other store (Kennesaw, Georgia) has ever undergone Walmart's downsizing plan. Also, neither the Forest Park nor the Kennesaw stores have been successful at leasing out the closed sections.

WMPTE ex Midland Red 6198 seen leaving Walsall (St Pauls Street) bus station in 1980, working from Sutton Coldfield garage.
Photo taken 1980 - the same year that 6198 was withdrawn from service.
Note the thin blue band applied to this bus - a Walsall paintshop hallmark, this bus having been painted at Walsall in mid May 1974. The lack of a body moulding at upper deck floor level meant that it was too troublesome for Carlyle Works (*) to apply this thin blue band. 6198 retained its central exit to the end, whereas some others of it's type, presumably to use up spare works capacity and make vehicle shortage problems worse, were converted to single door arrangement at Coventry.
(*) Midland Red 's Carlyle Works had been contracted to repaint most of the ex Midland Red vehicles, but some were painted instead at Walsall. Walsall paintshop hand-painted buses at this time, Carlyle was a spray-paint facility.

I am not sure what was here. This appears to have been empty since the earlier "Mills" days of the mall.This looks like it was some kind of restaurant before to me. Note; I thought this was Ruby Tuesday earlier but Ruby Tuesday was closer to Parisian / Bass Pro Shops.

The single-story Bigg's wing of the mall. The other two wings and the area near the food court are all two-stories. I believe this was the first part of the mall to be opened. The rest opened in 1989 if I recall correctly.

Address: 1600 California St
Overview of the store interior. The ground level is simply the entry via elevator or escalator. Level 2 is comprised of the fairly extensive grocery section, clothing, homegoods and electronics. Level 3 is storage/cleaning, personal care, the pharmacy, sporting goods and toys. Checkouts are also located on level 2 and consist of the typical walk up counter setup and a row of self-checkout kiosks.

about as close as the real thing possible I guess, it is much saltier than the Dutch one, also ...supermarkets like Foodworld and even hypermarkets like Hypercity freeze them ...... it kills the taste and structure of the cheese, but I am still happy :)
The only ex Lincolnshire Roadcar Dennis Dart to remain in service with Stagecoah East Midlands is Plaxton Pointer bodied FY02VCJ. This bus was new to Roadcar in May 2002 as fleet number 527. As far as I can remember, it was bought "off the shelf" from a dealer in a deal with the new Tesco Extra Hypermarket in Scunthorpe, who I believe contributed towards its purchase. In return, Roadcar diverted several of their services to the store, and painted the bus in an overall advert for Tesco.
It was the odd one out ub the Roadcar fleet in the sense that it was the only Dart owned by Roadcar to be fitted with the Euro 3 Cummins ISBe 4-cylinder engine, instead of the Cummins 6BT fitted to all of their other Darts. It was also the only normal length Dart to have the Plaxton Pointer body, Roadcar preferring the East Lancs Spryte, although they did have a batch of short Darts with the Pointer body.
Following the sale of Roadcar to Stagecoach, 527 became 34400. It migrated to Mansfield Depot for some time, even receiving an East Midlands Motor Services heritage livery. It has since returned to Lincolnshire, and is currently based at the former Roadcar depot on Great Northern Terrace.
I took this photo in the scorching sunshine on 18th July 2016. The bus was returning to Lincoln City Bus Station on a journey from Fiskerton. This position was always a favourite of mine, however the recent construction of Premier Inn Hotel adjacent to the road means that large shadows are cast across the footpath, poiling the effect a little. Despite this, I've left the image completely uncropped, as for once I've managed to capture the subject of the photo in the middle of the frame!
