The upper of the two old car order/parcel pickup/commande à l'auto conveyor belts at ex-A&P store #386. The store closed in November 2005, but the car order operation was shut down 10 years prior to the store's closing or in 1995...the grocery chains were sadly shuttering them en-masse in the mid-1990s. I wonder if more of them would still be in use today were Steinberg's still around.
Back in the heyday of stores in Ontario & Quebec having a car order service, several of them had two conveyors - with one to send out customers' orders and the other to return empty bins back to the cash registers. This store was rather unique in that both belts were used to transport customers' orders out to the parcel pickup room, which was located in west corner of the store by the truck receiving doors. The reason for this is that the mall entrance was midway down the length of the store's entrance and there were 6 cash registers on either side, each with their own car order conveyor. Therefore, when the cashiers need more empty bins, the direction of 1 of the 2 belts would be reversed to return empties. After the store closed, the conveyors were removed and the old parcel pickup drive-thru doors are all that remains of the car order operation. Today the store is Food Basics store #870.
A view northward up the Link River Canyon shows how the area looked around 1908, when the Keno Canal was constructed. Though originally planned to run all the way to Keno, the canal was plagued with leaks from the beginning, and never made it past the Moore brothers' power plant at the bottom end of the river. The larger building at far left is the Martin Bros. flour mill, and farther upstream is the Moore lumber mill. Very few homes are seen on the east bank of the river.

An African grey parrot and a cat called Ziggy. Both missing... and both missed.
Curved set of rollers for the upper car order conveyor belt in the basement of ex-A&P store 386. This is the stretch of belt where bins would just have entered the basement from the left-side cashes upstairs.
Here is a picture of a Post Office. What troubles did early Post Offices face, and what did they do to protect themselves?

I re-edited this today because i was bored and waitin for the inter vs. barcelona game which was very disappointing, dont get me wrong i love henry but i was expecting alot more from inter...Silly sweaty grown hairy italian men...Some one should teach them how to play the beautiful game. hmph.
This great trading post is the real thing, filled with old bottles, equipment, but also amazing turqoise. I would have happily spent hours poking around here. I did come home with some pieces that are waiting assembly into a necklace!

Today I decided to go for a drive. I was driving down a road that I practically drive down everyday, and for the first time I notice this garden with one tomato growing right in the middle. I'm sure it had many tomatoes when in it's prime but it wasn't really the tomato that caught my attention. It was the intriguing fence that surrounds the tomato.
The iron bed posts in the front and whatever the owner could salvage finishes it out. How interesting this little plot of land has become. One would have to know my neighborhood to understand why someone would build a fence of this caliber.
I live at the very edge of town and although I am in town I am also in the country (make sense?). When one lives in the country one will have country critters for neighbors. Deer, raccoon, skunk, coyotes, rabbits, and my favorite...turtles.
Back to the fence. Even though we have all those types of four legged neighbors, I don't think even this fence would keep any of them out.
Maybe they just needed to make a fence to be able to find the garden~ ♥
texture~ I don't know...
