The North Side terminal for the transit company, 901 N. Halsted St. on Goose Island.
NOTE: A demolition permit was issued for 901 N. Halsted St. on Goose Island in May 2023. The Halsted Pointe development, their approved megadevelopment on Goose Island. Approved in August 2021, the development will replace the current Greyhound Bus facility. Designed by Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture for Omni Group, the development’s first phase features construction of a 46-story, 504-foot mixed-use tower that will include 460 residential units and 20,000 square feet of retail space. Phase 2 will include 30-story and 45-story towers with 1,150 apartments and commercial space. Phase 3 will include a 65-story mixed-use tower. Rising 691 feet, the tower will have 1,015 units with 18,00 square feet of retail. This phase will provide more than 100,000 square feet of outdoor green space with a new riverwalk and market plaza. The final phase will be a 28-story 313-foot hotel tower. The building will have 2,150 square feet of retail space and 300 hotel keys. With a total of four phases, the overall development is expected to contain up to 2,650 residential units, retail space, a hotel, and 1,470 parking spaces. Onni Group is targeting the fourth quarter of 2023 to break ground on Phase 1, with a 24-month construction timeline to follow.
The afternoon when I first ascended the new tower (upon the pinnacle of Mount Mitchell) I did rejoice; I was very nearly alone. Gone were the crowds of years past, the roaring masses that had a way of making nature feel like a night out at a singles bar.
There was but one man standing upon the carapace of the tower, a workman and his tools. He greeted me with a hearty nonchalance and was eager to be disposed, I had no trouble keeping him out of my view. He told me of his job up there, and it was a story I found to be most peculiar:
The outline carved in cement before you here, that is obviously the state of North Carolina, with a four pointed compass setting. The man (I'm afraid I didn't get his name) was standing there, waiting for his caulk to dry. He had, about an hour before my arrival, replaced the four brass compass directions into their slots on the concrete. The great slab had been in place weeks before, but a surveyor decided that it wasn't going to be as accurate as was wished. You see, the compass points were aligned with magnetic north on the first emplacement, and the surveyor wanted it to be pointing towards "true north".
So here, great denizens of the state of North Carolina, your tax dollars at work for the greater good of all: A construction crew was drawn all the way back up the mountain, heavy equipment and all. The slab was removed from its foundation, moved a fraction of an inch, and replaced. Then the letters, obviously removed in said moving, were being reset. All in the name of...a retentiveness of a sort I shall not full describe.
So now you know; and when you next arrive at the tower, you will have a tale of your own to pass on to a stranger. But one last passing note: if the compass is in perfect alignment now, won't that make the state crooked? Oh, dear...

Review LG LED IPS Monitor 23MP65HQ (LG 23EA63V replaced) An Phat PC by dtien87 ductien daoductien - www.anphatpc.com.vn
For many years the building as been surrounded by very unattractive hoarding but recently the Unite Union agreed to carry out works to remove the awful hoarding and to replace it with a high quality mural in keeping with the building. Unfortunately what I thought was high quality tile-work is nothing more than a painting on wooden hoarding. I must admit that they had me fooled. While I am not from Belfast but the way this building is being neglected really annoys me.
I get the impression that many people consider this building to be nothing more than an ‘eyesore’ and that’s a pity. Take my advice and see it before it is gone forever.
I have visited this location a number of times over a five year period in order to see Transport House rather than the Albert Memorial Clock because it is much more interesting. If I want to see a Clock Tower there are many to be seen throughout Europe but of course not all of them lean.
Built in 1959, in the International Style Transport House became the focal hub of the trade union movement in Northern Ireland. When it was listed Transport House became the youngest listed building in Belfast.
Originally designed as headquarters for the Amalgamated Transport and General Workers Union it was eventually taken over by Unite.
It is believed that the architect, J. J. Brennan, was inspired by Michael Scott’s International Style ‘Busáras’ bus terminal in Dublin. The building is mainly clad in green tiles with a large mosaic to the front of the structure but unfortunately it is now derelict and in very poor condition.

To maximize the performance of the length-constrained system, Peacekeeper used an extendable exit cone (EEC) for its 2nd and 3rd stages. The EEC translated from a stowed position to an operational position during flight, more than tripling the nozzle expansion ratio for optimal performance at altitude. In mid-1977, an EEC designed and built by Allegany Ballistics Laboratory (ABL) was successfully tested at Edwards Air Force Base as part of an early Hercules program to demonstrate advanced technology in an MX third stage. Later, Peacekeeper became the first ballistic missile system to flight test a nozzle with an EEC.
LGM-118A Peacekeeper
The Peacekeeper served as the United States Air Force's most powerful, accurate, and technologically advanced Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) deterrent. Conceived to replace the Minuteman ICBMs, its development began in the early 1970s under the name "Missile, Experimental," or MX. Later, it received the official name "Peacekeeper." The first test flight took place in 1983 at Vandenberg AFB, California. Peacekeepers became operational in 1986.
Constructed with an airframe made of a Kevlar epoxy composite, the Peacekeeper was much lighter than previous ICBMs, and it could carry more warheads. When combined with new Multiple Independently Targeted Re-entry Vehicles (MIRV) technology, one Peacekeeper could accurately deliver a number of nuclear warheads on different targets at the same time. A four-stage missile, Peacekeeper was the first Air Force ICBM to use the "cold launch" technique similar to the system used to launch missiles from submarines.
The Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) II, signed in 1993 with Russia, removed all multiple-warhead ICBMs. As a result of the changed strategic world situation and START II, the United States deactivated all 50 LGM-118As between 2003 and 2005. Some Peacekeepers were eventually used as satellite launch vehicles.

After replacing our former entertainment center with a row of bookcases, I decided to repurpose this obsolete piece of furniture into a 1:6 scale doll castle. Hubby and I moved it into my son's former bedroom, which has been converted into a guest and craft room. I am thinking of turning the central space (formerly used to hold the old, non-flatscreen TV set) into a castle Great Hall, and the three large cubicles on the left side into other rooms. The closed cabinets and shallow shelves will provide storage space for doll props and craft supplies. I will need to create some sort of wall covering in the open space behind the cabinet to hide the wallpaper. All in good time.
Pike replaced this pole last year. www.flickr.com/photos/81578389@N00/4658235544/in/set-7215... This pole was pretty young to be changed.
Bikes replace the car in Vietnam, they're used for everything. This doesn't even begin to show how much they can get on one, I witnessed a full family of 5 happily cruising down the street.

The Barnsdale tunnel is a very straight 1226 yards in length, and was opened in the 1880's. The last passengers would have peered out into the dark in 1932, although trains steamed through here until 1959. This is part of the Hull and Barnsley Railway. You may know know this railway from other tunnels, such as Weedley, Sugar Loaf and the big monster Drewton Tunnel, all nearer to Hull. It's a nice one as local residents objected to it being fenced off. There are three capped airshafts in the Barnsdale tunnel. Most of the brickwork in here is in fairly good nick, although in parts bricks have fallen away.

And now for something completely different ... ever wondered how they replace a pole carrying all those essential services? Here's a step by step instruction guide! (My thanks to the team from Aus Grid and Lend Lease who were happy for me to be taking pictures!)
This image was from a shoot for my Unit 4 A-level exam. I based it on organ donation, and how organs may start to be replaced by other things than just organs because of the lack of them.
