Things Remembered (968 square feet)
12300 Jefferson Avenue, Suite 201, Patrick Henry Mall, Newport News, VA
This location opened in 2016 (originally located here) and closed on February 26th, 2019; it was originally a Hair Cuttery, which opened in October 1987 and closed in 2015. It became Mere Words and Expressions in 2021, which closed in 2024.
By 1939 plans to abandon Birmingham's trams (in the name of 'progress') were well on the way. With the expansion of bus routes it became clear garage accommodation was inadequate. That year over 50 buses were parked out on streets. The Corporation secured loans to build a new garage on the junction of Ridgeacre Road/Lane, Quinton, the final cost exceeding £120,000 (2 and half million in today's prices); including plant and machinery.
In Oct 1949 Quinton bus garage opened with a Daimler fleet of 72 required for services 3A, 9,10 and 34 (in later years duties on the 7, 11 and 82 were added). A feature of the garage was the sunken workshop with tunnels to enable engineers access to the pits without returning to floor level. Seen inside the garage just after opening is fleet 1576 amongst other Daimlers of its class. Whilst Quinton relieved pressure on Harborne garage both were subsequently closed as the drop in bus usage during the 80's and 90's brought on a policy of centralisation, the building now demolished and site occupied by a supermarket.
I learned that my friend Libi had passed away yesterday and her passing sent me rummaging through my archives for images I had of her. My friend, and Libi's son, Matt had his 50th birthday party a few years back and asked if I would take some photos to remember the occasion. This is still one of my favs from the night with mother and son dancing and serenading each other as the mariachis played on. RIP Libi. The world is a little emptier today without you here.

Thanks to the neogaf's people for this tutorial:
This is Leo. We had the pleasure of his company for 16 years. This was taken when he was about 9 months old. We were living in Bristol at the time (30 years ago!!) Phill and I were coming home one night, it was pouring with rain and we found two kittens huddled together on a step of a derelict building. They looked like drowned rats. We took them in "just for the night" and they remained with us for the next 16 years. They were feral cats and whereas Leo's brother Bunny became a loving lap cat, Leo never quite lost his wildness. He was a 'ten house' cat, visiting everyone in the neighbourhood for food. He only ever came home when he needed the vet which was frequently. He was run over (broken pelvis), tail broken, two abcesses, two tumours (both benign and host of other calamaties. He was a complete glutton and would eat so quickly he would throw up. I can remember looking out of our window one day just to see him climbing into a removal truck across the road. I decided to put a metal name tag on him (he chewed it off - really!!). When we moved to Southampton we couldn't take the cats with us immediately. My sister who also lived in Bristol at the time said she would look after them. After a couple of days she rang to say Leo had disapppeared. There was no sign off him. Three days later a neighbour from where we had been living rang my sister to say that Leo had turned up. He had walked the 3 miles across a busy city back to our old flat.
When he became ill with kidney problems we were treating him with medicine, but one day he just disappeared and never came back. His 'brother' Bunny would sit on the back of the sofa and howl constantly after this. Then about a year later Bunny became ill. Phill was sitting in the garden one day when he saw Bunny go through the hedge. He looked back at Phill and then disappeared - never to return. It is said that cats sometimes go off to die and I think this may be true of feral cats. I will always believe that Bunny and Leo chose their own time to leave us.
On Saturday night we are going to Phill's best friend's 60th birthday party, so we will be seeing lots of old friends.
The forecast is sun and blue skies - yipee!
Happy Furry Friday everyone
Have a lovely weekend x
.....the palms, beaches sunshine, heat, ...fun and adventure of a trip to Mexico a few years ago.
This was a motel courtyard I walked thro after a looooooooooooong walk on the perfect sandy beach from barra de navidad to melaque.
The weather in my paradise of Victoria, BC is not so perfect at the moment, tho no rain in dripping from the clouds, so the weekend unfolds joyously!
Washington DC - More than 660,000 white flags have been displayed in a solemn tribute across a vast expanse on the National Mall in Washington, DC — each representing a life lost to the coronavirus pandemic in a heart-rending exhibit called “In America: Remember.”
Mr. Clark is a facinating man. In his lifetime, he experienced first hand racial injustice in his own country. Despite the difficulties he faced, he perservered and today is a man highly respected in his community. I've had the honor to work with him in a small group that discussed race and racism in our community. We learned a lot from one another. And what I like best about Mr. Clark is that he is willing to share his past experiences, not to open old wounds, but rather to inform so that history doesn't repeat itself.
"Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends. And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today!" --Martin Luther King, Jr.

“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. but the most important thing is, even if we're apart.. i'll always be with you.Christopher Robin to Pooh”
