Although not able to explore inside the buildings, this facility in Mexico, MO was still cool to see.
Originally the Mexico Fire Brick and Fire Clay Company, founded in either the early 1900's or late 1800's, I am not sure which, it was purchased in 1910 by A.P. Green for a whopping $85,000 and became the A.P. Green Fire Brick Company. Five years later, when the company became incorporated, the value of the equipment and facility had risen to over $200,000. This plant was one of the world's leading producers of brick, and bricks from this plant were even used in the boilers of Navy warships. The military awarded the Army-Navy "E" for Excellence and Maritime "M" to the A.P. Green Company in recognition for its achievements during WWII. Bricks from this factory even line the launch pad at Cape Canaveral. In it's heyday, over 2,000 people were employed and nearly everyone in the town of Mexico could hear the whistle blow for shift changes. Unfortunately in 2002, the plant closed down. A new company by the name of Mid America Brick came by an in 2009, purchased the facility for $9.7 million. Mid America did not last long. In 2013, Mid America filed for bankruptcy and the site was again abandoned. Now the assets are owned by Shamrock Proppants' and the site lies mostly abandoned.

The night had passed smoothly and we awoke to a promising day as the sun rose over relatively calm waters on our approach to our anchorage off Horn Island

I am drawing this huge Dungeon Master World Map with MS Paint. All single accessories: houses, trees, rocks have been designed and placed one by one. It is in close relation with my novel that I am writing about this game.
The places described there, have been pointed out to me by Bewuuf, one forum administrator of dungeon-master.com.
I realized too late that on his sketch, he described only one human castle... Banville. One day I should re-edit this area to respect the original idea.
It still too much to do. It is far to be completed.
The tiled railway map on the wall of Victoria Station, Manchester. You can just about read the map if you view at full size, although the original is at a higher resolution still. There is an anonymous rail traveller sitting on the bench, apparently blissfully unaware of my photography.
A piece of public art in Bede Park this large, ceramic scroll bears a map of the city.
Being an obsessive cartography nerd I photographed around the whole thing and threw together a compilation here.
Bit of a grab shot but this is one of my favourite wrapping paper designs used to wrap a little something for my friend who has invited us to her party this evening - a belated Happy Birthday!

Felt like I needed a good overhead view, and, since I can't take this shot myself... got it from maps.google.com
Next time I go back I hope to visit the Citadel (it's the green flower shaped thing in the bend of the river, apparently they use it to train their military now, but, still, it is (hearsay) supposed to be a really really old defensive structure.
The Strand is to the left of it, between the green "flower" and the Mures River, it's the little strip on the W to NW side of the bend.
Micalaca, where Mom lives, is across the river on the east side of the flower. That's the communist-style appt buildings in my shots. Mostly.
Downtown with the majority of the older buildings is the E-W street just across the Mures from the "flower." Not on the river side, but the next street.
I believe, but am not certain, that the little green arrow that Google placed is either more downtown, or the industrial zone.
