The original Yankee Stadium, located at East 161st Street and River Avenue, served as the home baseball park of Major League Baseball's New York Yankees from 1923 to 1973 and, after extensive renovations, from 1976 to 2008. Nicknamed "The House that Ruth Built", it was the first three-tiered sports facility in the United States and one of the first baseball parks to be given the lasting title of stadium. Yankee Stadium hosted 6,581 Yankees regular season home games, and 37 World Series during its 85-year history. Yankee Stadium was the home of the National Football League's New York Giants from 1956-1973, before they relocated ultimately to Giants Stadium in the Meadowlands, including the 1958 NFL championship game, and other short-lived professional football franchises including the three incarnations of the AFL's New York Yankees (1926, 1936-37, 1941), the AAFC's New York Yankees (1946-49), the NFL's New York Yanks (1950-51). It hosted three papal masses--Pope Paul VI (1965), Pope John Paul II (1979), and Pope Benedict XVI (2008); thirty championship prizefights--including Joe Louis-Max Schmeling and Muhammad Ali-Ken Norton; two professional soccer franchies--the USA/NASL's New York Generals (1967-68) and the NASL's New York Cosmos (1971, 1976); and college football--including the annual Notre Dame-Army game from 1925 through 1947.
The Yankees had shared the Polo Grounds with the New York Giants since 1913, but strained relations between the two teams led owners Tillinghast L'Hommedieu Huston and Jacob Ruppert to build their own stadium on a 10-acre lumberyard within sight of Coogan's Bluff. Originally designed by Osborn Engineering and built by the White Construction Company at a cost of $2.5 million, the stadium opened on April 18, 1923, with the Yankees beating the Boston Red Sox 4-1. By the late 1960s, the stadium's condition had badly deteriorated. After the stadium was purchased by the City of New York in 1972, it closed for a two-year facelift following the 1973 season, with the Yankees taking up temporary residence at Shea
Stadium in the interim. The renovations by Praeger-Kavanaugh-Waterbury significantly altered the appearance of the stadium. 118 columns reinforcing each tier of the grandstand were removed, the Stadium's roof, including its distinctive 15-foot copper frieze, was replaced by a new upper shell, and a white painted concrete replica of the frieze was added atop the wall encircling the bleachers. The Stadium's playing field was lowered and shortened, with the monuments once in play relgated to a newly created Monument Park.
In 2006, the Yankees began construction on a new $1.8 billion stadium in adjacent public parkland, which opened with the 2009 season. The final game at the stadium was held on September 21, 2008, with the Yankees beating the Baltimore Orioles 7-3.
In 2007, Yankee Stadium was ranked #84 on the AIA 150 America's Favorite Architecture list.
Abu Simbel today is no longer in the same location as it was in ancient times. “Following the decision to build a new High Dam at Aswan in the early 1960s, the temples were dismantled and relocated in 1968 on the desert plateau 64 meters (about 200 feet) above and 180 meters (600 feet) west of their original site,” writes Robert Morkot in an article in the "Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt"(2001, Oxford University Press). The area where they were originally located is now flooded

By Executive Order 9066, over 7,000 Japanese, most being American citizens, were forcibly imprisoned at the Granada Relocation Center in Granada, Colorado from 1942-45. The Granada site, with the smallest population of the ten relocation centers, became the tenth largest concentration of people in the state of Colorado; it is one the best preserved with intact foundations and little alteration by subsequent development. It is located one mile west of downtown Granada and one mile south on County Road No. 23.5 in southeast Colorado. The population of Granada peaked at 7,318 detainees.
March 18, 2022 President Biden signed into law “Amache National Historic Site Act, which will help preserve, protect, and interpret a site where civilians of Japanese ancestry were incarcerated during World War II at the Granada War Relocation Center.” It is now a National Historic Site.
WEEK 51.1 – Southaven Burlington Relocation: New Store, Set II
To get an overview shot of the rear wall, I had to move forward a bit and find a spot within the boys' department from which to take the photo. So in this view, if you can see it all beyond those racks of clothing (!), you've got the new fitting rooms, as well as the rest of the baby department (including the tagline on the wall that we saw earlier in today's set).
The fitting rooms are the only other area of the store besides the front end to feature any red paint, and are located in a carved-out area along the rear wall. Sports Authority's fitting rooms were standalone boxes placed on the salesfloor itself – see here.

Had a relocation call via Prescott Valley Animal control.. I think this one is about to lay her eggs
This is a s.Gopher and is a great eater of mice and rats. It is not poisonous and for those that keep snakes (not me) makes a great pet
The beverage station once figured prominently in the layout of the front right corner of this Kroger, in plain view of the hot food counter at the deli. Thanks to Starbucks, it was moved: tucked away in the corner of the café. Oh well, at least this Korger still has a café, unlike the Olive Branch store. Theirs was removed entirely, to make space for ClickList unfortunately.

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.
Relocated here from the grocery aisles. Area was previously cereal and chips

A very odd looking movement much similar to NSWGR and SRA days of taking locos off to be scrapped, but not it this case.
Running under Sydney Rail Services (SRS) as D994 from Bomaderry Via Meeks Rd, 4501 and 4464 in push pull formation haul 7319, 7333 and 7322 through Bargo on the Main South, en route to Goulburn for a new lease of life as a future project.
7319 had spent most of its life at Cootamundra during the 70s, 7322 based in Orange and 7333 was based in Broadmeadow.
All three units were owned by Manildra before being purchased recently.
WEEK 43 – TM Relocation Revisited
Skipping back down the furniture department, we arrive at the section of the back of the store where, I believe, Dressbarn’s rear wall was prior to Tuesday Morning’s expansion of the building. At least, that’s how I’m interpreting those floor scars! This would also fit with what we saw of the interior during construction…

In 1997, I was privileged to witness this cheetah mother target her meal, explode into chase, and run the Impala down with no help from her 3 cubs. In this frame, she works to pull the kill into the shade and protection of a large bush. You can see how one of the cubs is already working to start the feast.
Cheetahs are indeed the fastest land animal, and we saw that. Mombo, Botswana, June 1997.
Day 40 of the remodel. This temporary pharmacy was built between registers 11 and 13 while the original pharmacy was being renovated. The pharmacy has since moved back to its original location.

Store 721. This store originally opened on March 1, 1995 and relocated from an older Division 1 store at US-41 and Cochran Boulevard, which originally opened in 1985. That location has since been subdivided into Staples, Big Lots, and Books-a-Million.
Ambulatory patients can be brought in to the COVID ward thru the EID Only Emergency Entrance.

WEEK 49 – Southaven Burlington Relocation: New Store, Set I
(cont.) I'll tell you what my first impression was: “wow,” just like this sign says! This store is bright and shiny, and very white but without feeling sterile. Very impressive, and even more so when contrasted against the old store, which at this point, with its beige walls and tiles, just feels downright drab in comparison!
It also helps that the new store has wall décor (such as the phrase shown here), whereas the old store had nothing of the sort. It feels a bit like TJMaxx/Marshalls in that regard, and for that matter the two competitors also emulate each other in their store layouts. Clothing is concentrated solely in the center of the salesfloor, with the perimeter dedicated to the “other” product lines. Here in the front right corner of the store for example, you've got women's jewelry, accessories, and the like.

WEEK 14 – BAM Southaven Relocation: Old Store, Set 2
Exiting bargain books, here’s a look from, well, bargain books (!) back toward the front entrance of the store. You can see a bit of everything here: the Joe Muggs café, the Pop World signage, even Customer Service way up there! Note also the set of windows above the ground-level ones: those displayed even more photo décor.
Taken at 2:47PM on Friday, January 27th, 2017, this was my final-ever picture of the old store in operation :(

Fannie Bay Gaol
The gaol operated as Her Majesty’s Gaol and Labour Prison, for almost 100 years.
Her Majesty’s Gaol was Darwin’s main prison from 20 September 1883 until 1 September 1979.
In 1979 prisoners were relocated to the correctional facility in Berrimah.
Now an important historic site, Fannie Bay Gaol attracts thousands of visitors each year.
Male and female prisoners were held in separate buildings from 1928. The female prison block included a small garden designed to keep the prisoners busy.
An infirmary was added in 1887, which contained gallows used up until the last executions held in the Northern Territory in 1952.
A watch tower, “native section” for Aboriginal prisoners, kitchen mess building, remand section and two maximum security wings were added during the 1950s.
Entry to the gaol is free: open daily except Christmas Day and Boxing Day, New Year’s Day and Good Friday.
Food prep area number two. Pity about the rock wire netting. After this, the carcass was relocated all the way back to it's original location.

The Manzanar Relocation Camp lies at the foot of Mt. Williamson just north of Lone Pine, CA. Up to 10,000 people of Japanese descent were interned here after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the act that caused the United States to enter World War 2.
One of the internees created this monument in the base cemetery during his internment. The inscription reads "Monument for the Pacification of Spirits".
The numerous small bits of glass, rock, and coins left on and around this monument are small tributes left by the visitors. It is hard not to feel that spirit when visiting this location.
Finally, a plaque at the entrance to the camp reads ...
In the early part of World War II, 110,000 persons of Japanese ancestry were interned in relocation centers by executive order no. 9066, issued on February 19, 1942.
Manzanar, the first of ten such concentration camps, was bounded by barbed wire and guard towers confining 10,000 persons, the majority being American citizens.
May the injustices and humiliation suffered here as a result of hysteria, racism and economic exploitation never emerge again.
Yes, that Dollar Tree is new. It opened in April 2019 replacing an old Walgreens which relocated to a stand alone location. There are 2 other dollar stores in Mauston, Dollar General, and Family Dollar, so I don't think that had any impact on this Kmart.

WEEK 16 – BAM Southaven Relocation: New Store, Set 1
Finally, here we are: Southaven’s new Books-a-Million! If this view looks a little familiar to you, that’s probably because it’s exactly how we started our last tour of this store: during its final months as a Hancock Fabrics. Additionally, the “now open” banner seen here was likely just the other side of BAM’s “coming soon” one here.

Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto
Toronto is the provincial capital of Ontario. With a recorded population of 2,731,571 in 2016, it is the most populous city in Canada and the fourth most populous city in North America. The city is the anchor of the Golden Horseshoe, an urban agglomeration of 9,245,438 people (as of 2016) surrounding the western end of Lake Ontario, while the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) proper had a 2016 population of 6,417,516. Toronto is an international centre of business, finance, arts, and culture, and is recognized as one of the most multicultural and cosmopolitan cities in the world.
People have travelled through and inhabited the Toronto area, located on a broad sloping plateau interspersed with rivers, deep ravines, and urban forest, for more than 10,000 years. After the broadly disputed Toronto Purchase, when the Mississauga surrendered the area to the British Crown, the British established the town of York in 1793 and later designated it as the capital of Upper Canada. During the War of 1812, the town was the site of the Battle of York and suffered heavy damage by American troops. York was renamed and incorporated in 1834 as the city of Toronto. It was designated as the capital of the province of Ontario in 1867 during Canadian Confederation. The city proper has since expanded past its original borders through both annexation and amalgamation to its current area of 630.2 km2 (243.3 sq mi).
The diverse population of Toronto reflects its current and historical role as an important destination for immigrants to Canada. More than 50 percent of residents belong to a visible minority population group, and over 200 distinct ethnic origins are represented among its inhabitants. While the majority of Torontonians speak English as their primary language, over 160 languages are spoken in the city.
Toronto is a prominent centre for music, theatre, motion picture production, and television production, and is home to the headquarters of Canada's major national broadcast networks and media outlets. Its varied cultural institutions, which include numerous museums and galleries, festivals and public events, entertainment districts, national historic sites, and sports activities, attract over 43 million tourists each year. Toronto is known for its many skyscrapers and high-rise buildings, in particular the tallest free-standing structure in the Western Hemisphere, the CN Tower.
The city is home to the Toronto Stock Exchange, the headquarters of Canada's five largest banks, and the headquarters of many large Canadian and multinational corporations. Its economy is highly diversified with strengths in technology, design, financial services, life sciences, education, arts, fashion, aerospace, environmental innovation, food services, and tourism.
Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hockey_Hall_of_Fame
The Hockey Hall of Fame (French: Temple de la renommée du hockey) is a museum and hall of fame located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Dedicated to the history of ice hockey, it holds exhibits about players, teams, National Hockey League (NHL) records, memorabilia and NHL trophies, including the Stanley Cup. Founded in Kingston, Ontario, the Hockey Hall of Fame was established in 1943 under the leadership of James T. Sutherland. The first class of honoured members was inducted in 1945, before the Hall of Fame had a permanent location. It moved to Toronto in 1958 after the NHL withdrew its support for the International Hockey Hall of Fame in Kingston, Ontario, due to funding issues. Its first permanent building opened at Exhibition Place in 1961. The hall was relocated in 1993, and is now in Downtown Toronto, inside Brookfield Place, and a historic Bank of Montreal building. The Hockey Hall of Fame has hosted International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) exhibits and the IIHF Hall of Fame since 1998.
An 18-person committee of players, coaches and others meets annually in June to select new honourees, who are inducted as players, builders or on-ice officials. In 2010, a subcategory was established for female players. The builders' category includes coaches, general managers, commentators, team owners and others who have helped build the game. Honoured members are inducted into the Hall of Fame in an annual ceremony held at the Hall of Fame building in November, which is followed by a special "Hockey Hall of Fame Game" between the Toronto Maple Leafs and a visiting team. As of 2019, 284 players (including six women), 111 builders and 16 on-ice officials have been inducted into the Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame has been criticized for focusing mainly on players from the National Hockey League and largely ignoring players from other North American and international leagues.
WEEK 33 – Tuesday Morning Relocation
While it's cool to see out of the rear of the store from the front, let's head around to the back to see all of the action close-up! Above is a shot I had to dig in my archives for: a pic from December 11, 2015, that shows Dressbarn's logo still up on the back of the store even after their departure. I'm glad I got this shot, not only because the sign is gone now, but because the entire wall is too!
Interesting side note... while the storefronts of SLC have signs of all colors, the backs here must have had all red signs at one point, as can be evidenced by the red Marshalls sign remaining. New tenants haven't been held to that rule, however.

This photo has been taken as part of the scientific effort of the salvage archaeologist team H.U.N.E. to document the Sudanese Arab tribe of the Manasir and their cultural landscape 'Dar al-Manasir' situated at the Fourth Cararact of the River Nile.
The homeland of the Manasir will be submerged by the reservoir lake of the Hamdab High Dam (Merowe Multi-Purpose Hydro Project) in the very near future and all inhabitants have to be relocated by the Sudanese government.

WEEK 43 – TM Relocation Revisited
Meanwhile, on the right side of the store, all of the other merchandise has been for the most part removed, with only select quantities of bedding and home décor (seen in the first pic), as well as a sunglasses display, left. The lone two employees working on this day were busy shuffling shelving around, and it was clear that the shoppers, already few in number, who would come in this close to the closing would find little remaining.

WEEK 52 – Southaven Burlington Relocation: Finale (Buck's Bargain Center)
Spinning left some more (this and the previous three shots were effectively taken via pirouette, lol!), we see the grilling and lawn and garden departments, respectively. The latter occupies the very front left corner of the store; you can see a tiny bit of the vestibule peeking in on the left edge of the pic. This entire left side of the store used to be dedicated to home goods under Burlington, so this is quite a reversal! Although I don't have an exact comparison view, here and here are some before shots of this general area.

Notes:
It wasn’t the coldest night out for us (that was Ashton Mills) but with the temperature around 20 degrees and the gusty winds bringing about a wind chill of 1 degree, it was a tough 5 hours out under the moon.
We were back at an ongoing project documenting the urban changes being made to the downtown area of Providence with the relocation of the RT-195/RT95 interchange that will reconnect the Jewelry District with the downtown.
The nightshift crew this time out: judyboy, skazama, rizzolo, rtlm401 and upsilon_48.
You can see a group pool here of all our shots on Flickr from the night or a slick slideshow here. It may take a week or so for all the shots to be posted.
We recently relocated from the office in which we had kept the engines running for 14 years, into the more city central office of our new parent company.
A few of us have had to decide what equipment to keep or junk, and generally collect unwanted stuff to put in the commercial waste bins for disposal.
I found the Sales team mascot looking very dejected having been orphaned in the now totally empty office.
I tried not to make eye contact, as he was looking very sad, but you know how it is, eventually you crack and look.
It was an emotional farewell, as I looked back at him in the big waste bin, as I departed.
