This whole huge site used to house the old Royal Infirmary. It relocated to a modern, purpose-built home on the edge of town a few years ago and this site on the edge of the Old Town has been extensively developed, with some of the nicer Victorian hospital buildings preserved, restored and turned into high-end apartments (out of my price range, sadly!), and modern buildings for office, flats, and as here in Lister Square, restaurants and cafes.
The Minidoka Relocation Center, 15 miles north of Twin Falls and 150 miles southeast of Boise, was also referred to as the Hunt Camp. Minidoka was considered a model environment because of its relatively peaceful atmosphere and population that got along well with the administration. Because it was not within the Western Defense Command restricted area, security was somewhat lighter than at most other camps. But when the internees first arrived, they were shocked to see the bleak landscape that was to be there home over the next three years.
Located on the Snake River Plain at an elevation of 4000 feet, the land is dotted with sagebrush and thin basaltic lava flows and cinder cones. The internees found the environment to be extremely harsh, with temperatures ranging from 30 degrees below zero to as high as 115 degrees. They also had to contend with blinding dust storms and ankle-deep mud after the rains.
Minidoka was in operation from August 10, 1942 to October 28, 1945. The reserve covered more than 33,000 acres of land in Jerome County. The camp’s peak population reached 9,397 by March 1, 1943, and it became Idaho's third largest city. Five miles of barbed wire fencing and eight watchtowers surrounded the administrative and residential areas, which were located in the west-central portion of the reserve.
Most of the people interned at Minidoka were from the Pacific Northwest: approximately 7,050 from Seattle and Bainbridge Island, Washington, 2,500 from Oregon and 150 from Alaska, including children or grandchildren of Eskimo women and Japanese men. They were temporarily housed at the Puyallup Fairgrounds in Washington, then sent by train to Idaho. In early 1943, all of the Bainbridge Island, Washington, residents interned at the Manzanar Relocation Center were transferred to Minidoka at their own request because of constant conflict with the internees from Terminal Island in Los Angeles.
The central camp consisted of 600 buildings on 950 acres. When the first internees arrived at Minidoka in August 1942, they moved into the crude barracks even though much of the camp was unfinished and there was no running water or sewage system. The Army insisted on having all Japanese removed from the West Coast at once, and they did not halt the evacuation until the camp could hold no more. The last group of 500 evacuees to arrive at the camp had to sleep in mess halls, laundry rooms, or any available bed space. Waiting in line for many daily functions, especially meals, was common.
The camp’s residential area encompassed 36 blocks and was one mile wide and three miles long. Each block included 12 tarpaper barracks, one dining hall, one laundry building with communal showers and toilets and a recreation hall. Immediately after arrival, the internees were instructed to see the camp physician, and then they received an apartment assignment. Apartments were of three sizes, and where possible, family groups or relatives were placed near each other. Efforts were later made to move people near their place of employment.

The turtle in the waiting area of Fabula is still there after relocating the main entrance of this 5D adventure attraction but the walking route has been adjusted.
Fabula
Fabula is an attraction in Efteling. It is a 4D movie that replaced the former attraction and movie PandaDroom.
PandaDroom was last seen in November 2019. The film and technique were replaced. The pre-show was also renewed. In the post-show, the World of Animals, the animatronic of a panda was replaced by the bear and squirrel from the movie. The restaurant was also renovated and a bar was placed at the souvenir shop. Changes to the attraction were made earlier in 2019, for example, the restaurant and entrance have already been modified.
A young, grumpy bear doesn't get along well with other animals. In the film, the main characters are briefly introduced, a young bear and a squirrel. The bear is hibernating and reacts grumpily to the presence of the squirrel. The bear is not social, it does not get along well with other animals. The mythical figure, Klaas often, can manipulate dreams. He shows the bear in a dream that he can show more respect for his environment and other animals. In doing so, he is placed in different animal worlds and each time transformed into an animal from that world.
De Mister Sandman, or Klaas Vaak, is a world-famous fairytale figure, also known for the story by Hans Christian Andersen from 1842. Klaas Vaak is a well-known face in the Efteling, especially in the Bosrijk holiday park. In Bosrijk the story of Klaas often elaborated further. The Sand Castle of Klaas Often is built in the central point of the holiday park. The sand castle is in the middle of a lake, called the Lake of Dreams. According to the story, it is the residence of Klaas Vaak, the sand gnomes and the owl eagle owl. The surname 'Houdoe' is a subtle reference to the Brabant farewell greeting 'Houdoe', which can be translated into 'Keep your good'. Klaas often and his friends can be seen as entertainers in Bosrijk and during events in the park.
The 3D movie works with additional effects, making it a 4D experience. During the film, water, smell and wind are used, which makes the film more alive. These effects were also already incorporated in the predecessor Pandadroom, but have been modernized.

This little mother-to-be is a comb-footed spider (Enoplognatha ovata). She had originally chosen the folds between the lime green cushions in the patio furniture as the best place to place her eggsac in wait of the young ones emerging.
I can sort of see why she chose it on account of how beautifully the colour matched her own, but for us hoping to use the cushions it was less than ideal.
Instead I successufully moved both spider and egg sac to a nearby bush and they looked alright there.
A shot of the same spider while between the cushions can be seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/33584305848/
This poster was no longer there on a visit a few years ago to the Starbucks.
This series of photos shows the relocation a hundred feet east and restoration of the 1925 Dempster Street station in Skokie that was designed by Insull Chief Architect Arthur Gerber. Early on the first opening day in 1925 Gerber was there early that morning on a ladder cleaning the windows to get ready, as one of his sons wrote to me in the 1990s while researching his work.
This station as already detailed was built to serve trains of the Chicago Rapid Transit and the North Shore Line interurbans. They had common ownership at that time under tycoon Samuel Insull's utilities and transportation holdings.
The ugly facades on both ends were removed and the bricked up, Prairie School style windows were reopened and restored.
The Dempster Street Station is perhaps the crown jewel of buildings that Gerber designed.
The architects and contractors of the move and renovation did a masterful job including cutting out and reinstalling the original 1925 inscription in the sidewalk outside the station to the new location in front. There were setbacks including a fire in the roof at the old location just before it was moved.
In June 2023, U.S. Coast Guard certified lampist Kurt Fosburg visited CBMM to relocate a third-order Fresnel lens from display in the second floor of the 1879 Hooper Strait Lighthouse to its new home at the entrance of the new Welcome Center where it will greet guests upon their arrival to campus.

Basque Americans (Basque: euskal estatubatuarrak, Spanish: vasco estadounidenses, French: Basco-Américains) are Americans of Basque descent. According to the 2000 US census, there are 57,793 Americans of full or partial Basque descent, but the real number of Basque Americans could easily reach 100,000 people. Of them, 41,811 people claimed be simply Basque American, 9,296 claimed be originating from Spanish Basque Country, and the other 6,686 claimed be originating from the French Basque Country.
Basque immigration peaked after the Spanish Carlist Wars in the 1830s—Ebro customs relocated to the Pyrenees—and in the 1860s following the discovery of gold in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range of California. The current day descendants of Basque immigrants remain most notably in this area and across the Sierras into the neighboring area of northern Nevada, then northward, into Idaho. When the present-day states of California, Arizona and New Mexico were annexed by the United States after the Mexican–American War (1848), there were reportedly thousands of Basques of Spanish or mixed Mexican origin living in the Pacific Northwest.
By the 1850s, there were some Basque sheepherders working in Cahuenga Valley (today Los Angeles, California). In the 1870s, the Los Angeles and Inland Empire land rush reportedly attracted thousands of Basques from Spain, Mexico and Latin America, but such reports do not bear out in a current census of Basque persons in the Southern United States where Basque persons are exceptionally rare in US census reporting. By the 1880s Basque immigration had spread up into Oregon, Utah, Montana, Wyoming, with significantly lesser numbers reaching the Southern states of Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas in the Southern most region. By 1895 there were reportedly about ten thousand self reporting Basque-Americans in the United States.
The current census figures demonstrated in the US map on this page are remarkably low in comparison to these reports and the overall increase in the US population since the 19th century. There has been a radical decrease in Basque immigration since that era which has resulted in the significant decline in persons of Basque national or Spanish origin throughout the US. Most of the self reporting Basque persons remaining in the US today are descendants of the original peak of Basque immigrants who arrived between 200 and 100 years ago, typically reporting as multi-generational or great great grandchildren (1860 immigrants) as opposed to native born persons of Basque ethnic identification and their subsequent immediate family, children, or grandchildren.
The degree to which one self reports being "Basque" is a personal choice, often tied to an interest in one's heritage whether one is the grandchild of a native born Basque or of significantly mixed Native American (Mexican, S. American, etc.), Anglo European, or other racial admixture. There are significant numbers of Mexicans with Basque names, as many as 1 million self reporting Mexicans of Basque racial or surname heritage today.
Thousands of Basques were recruited from Spain due to severe labor shortages during World War II. They came under contract with the Western Range Association between the 1940s until around 1970.[3] The Spanish Right of Return extends Spanish citizenship only to the grandchildren of Basque immigrants who were born in Spain and forced to flee during the Francoist uprising in the mid-1930s.
No US state is more associated with Basque people and culture than Idaho. Basques today are an integral part of the state's social fabric, especially in Boise. Prominent Basque-American elected officials in Idaho include longtime Secretary of State Pete T. Cenarrusa, his successor Ben Ysursa, both Republicans, Democrat David H. Bieter, the current Boise mayor, as well as Republican, J. David Navarro, the current Clerk, Auditor and Recorder of Ada County, the most populated county in Idaho.
Basques were initially drawn to Idaho by the discovery of silver, in settlements such as Silver City. Those that did not directly become involved in mining engaged in ranching, selling beef and lamb products to the miners. While some such immigrants returned to Basque Country, many remained, later to be joined by their families following them in immigration. Exact counts of Basque immigrants to Idaho are not practical to determine, as the United States Census did not distinguish between Basques from other Spanish immigrants, though a majority of Spanish immigrants to Idaho likely self-identified as Basque.

This small train station opened in 1896. Originally it was on Queen Street next to the Don River. It closed in 1967 and two years later was moved to Todmorden Mills. It was relocated again to Roundhouse Park in 2008.
If you look behind the cart you can see a man waiting for the next train.

EDV is leading the construction of a new, expanded workshop for REBUILD Globally. This new workshop will be comprised of recycled shipping containers and existing structures on land donated by the Caribbean Lodge Hotel and will allow for the hiring of up to 40 more Haitian employees.
Employment is key to sustainable recovery in Haiti ...because for many Haitians, the earthquake’s effects have gone well beyond just destroying buildings. The disaster also robbed many of their livelihoods, leaving them without means to rebuild their lives.
We are honoured to help REBUILD expand their operations by using volunteer labour to construct their new workshop.
Thanks to REBUILD Globally and the Caribbean Lodge Hotel for letting us get our hands dirty on this great project.

The cinder blocks used to build the houses are relatively narrow, but with good quality blocks with concrete poured through the holes and rebar, they are usually sufficient. However the blocks I saw stacked at construction sites and used in all of the fallen walls were crumbly when soaked with water suggesting they weren't made with enough cement.

This photo clearly shows how unnecessary the destruction of Seminary Ridge was to the original land swap between NPS and the College. The justification was to allow the college to relocate the existing Gettysburg RR track away from their campus, Here it is, and it's at least 100 feet away from the ridge.
Haskoning Delft Office
In 2025, Haskoning relocated to the former Mining Engineering Faculty on the campus of Delft University of Technology. 1,000 employees from The Hague and Rotterdam will find their new workplace here, as well as the Board of the company. Situated on the border between the city and the TU Delft campus, the new head office connects to Delft's ecosystem of knowledge, innovation, and technology. The national monument has been transformed into a contemporary, sustainable workplace – Paris-proof. The original courtyards have been transformed into bright atriums: the spatial heart of the building and anchor points in the daily dynamics. With this, Haskoning demonstrates the role heritage can play in the debate about the future of the built environment. The project was developed in co-creation between engineers and architects from Haskoning and Braaksma & Roos. Interior design by Fokkema & Partners.
The Mining Engineering Faculty, designed in 1912 by Johannes Vrijman, is characterized by a functional layout and technical soundness, resulting in a vibrant and eclectic Neo-Renaissance building. The focus is on the center of the main wing, where the main entrance was located. From the main entrance, corridors run around the two open spaces, which provide abundant natural light, good ventilation through the windows, and excellent orientation within the complex. Inside, the finishes of the teaching spaces and laboratories were kept simple. However, color research revealed decorative, colorful painted finishes and oak paneling.
To meet Haskoning's desire to create a modern, inspiring environment with ample work and meeting space for all employees, the two courtyards were roofed, transforming them into usable atriums. Due to the irregular shape of the roofs, the solution was a single, large, spacious canopy at the attic level, separate from the building, with light and a view of the walls and roofs. The existing structure offered many opportunities for incorporating a suitable workspace program. The old laboratories were designed as open workspaces, while private rooms served as quiet workspaces. Characteristic spaces, such as the lecture hall, have been preserved, restored, and put back into use. Initially, the building had an energy label G. After the renovation, it achieved an A++++ rating. "This was achieved with roof and floor insulation, vacuum glazing, and smart building services. The building is now Paris-proof with a maximum annual energy consumption of 70 kWh/m².
