This is a good way of reusing these chairs as Pharmacy chairs. Gave me good nostalgia since I used to eat at this Kmart's KCafe a lot when I was younger until they closed in 2010.
Kmart
Erie, PA
Kmart #7310
4711 Babcock Street NE, Palm Bay, FL - Palm Bay Center
Opened 1979. Closed forever on September 7, 2014, leaving Brevard County with zero Kmart stores. Was converted into a U-Haul Storage and Truck Rental facility in January 2016.
I'm sure most of you are thinking "That AFB built up all of this suspense just to show us pictures of a storage place!" Honestly, a storage place was on the bottom of my list of possible reuses for my old local Kmart. There are already three self-storage centers on this corner already (not counting this new one), and another storage place that just opened in a former document vault that Harris Corp. sold off late last year less than a mile to the east of here. As you probably remember, I had my bets placed that Publix would buy the old Kmart building and tear it down to build a replacement for their aging, 35+ year old store in the same plaza. I guess that isn't happening, but this would have been their perfect opportunity to do so. But I guess on the flip side, the old Kmart building will end up living on in almost perfectly intact form as the U-Haul Storage Center. The U-Haul Storage Center is in fact open for business, and was open when I was taking these pictures. U-Haul uses the old Garden Center entrance as their main entrance, and the entire main store is where the storage units are contained, and are accessed from the interior entrance inside the garden center.

ENGLISH
Military houses annexed to the old infantry quarter Roger de Llúria, who today comprises of the Universitat Pompeu Fabra. The main building was redesigned between 1997 and 2000, and there are given studies of Social Sciences and Humanities at the moment. It is predicted that this annexed building pass to comprise of the university in the mid term.
In the occasion of the modernization of the military installations of Barcelona, and due to the growth of the city, in 1868 is ordered the dismantling of the strength of the Ciutadella, in exchange for constructing two quarters in the environs: the quarter Jaume I and the quarter Roger de Llúria. In 1872 is created the Parc de la Ciutadella in the terrains that the old military installation occupied, that later would be the main scene of the Universal Exhibition of Barcelona in 1888.
Both quarters seem fruit of an original project of colonel Rueda in 1847 and later altered in 1879, although the definitive designs remain undocumented.
The quarters of the Ciutadella, as it were known them, were conceived from fixed modules, with wings of construction of very long rectangular plant, ground floor and two floors, with tile roof of two slopes, organized around a arcaded rectangular patio. These quarters already introduced at that time the characteristic forms of the central Eixample in a suburbial landscape.

CASTELLANO
Casas de militares anexas al antiguo cuartel de infantería Roger de Llúria, que hoy forma parte del la Universitat Pompeu Fabra. El edificio principal fue remodelado entre 1997 y el 2000, y en él se imparten actualmente estudios de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades. Está previsto que este edificio anexo pase a formar parte de la universidad a medio plazo.
Con motivo de la modernización de las instalaciones militares de Barcelona, y debido al crecimiento de la ciudad, en 1868 se ordena el desmantelamiento de la fortaleza de la Ciutadella, a cambio de construir dos cuarteles en las inmediaciones: el cuartel Jaume I y el cuartel Roger de Llúria. En 1872 se crea el Parc de la Ciutadella en los terrenos que ocupaba la antigua instalación militar, que posteriormente sería el escenario principal de la Exposición Universal de Barcelona de 1888.
Los dos cuarteles parecen fruto de un proyecto original del coronel Rueda en 1847 y retocado posteriormente en 1879, aunque los diseños definitivos permanecen indocumentados.
Los cuarteles de la Ciutadella, como se les conocía, estaban concebidos a partir de unos módulos fijos, con unas alas de edificación de planta rectangular muy alargada, de planta baja y dos pisos, con tejado de dos vertientes, organizadas alrededor de un patio rectangular porticado. Estos cuarteles introducían ya entonces las formas características del Eixample central en un paisaje suburbial.

Walking on the sidewalk in Middleburg, Netherlands along the canal...the tops of the house boats were eye level. I loved the quirkiness of this particular garden.

Lederoptik und Klavierlack-Design – wow! Kaum zu glauben, dass dieses vornehme Stück eine Plastikkamera mit einfachster Ausstattung ist: Kunststofflinse, 1/120 s, Festblende 10, Brennweite 31 mm, also die übliche Technik einer Einwegkamera. In bunter Ausführung sieht sie dann aber nicht mehr so edel aus.
Warum gibt es sowas? Auf der Harman-Internetseite steht's:
Due to the increasing popularity of our Single Use Cameras we have now introduced a reusable plastic 35mm camera with flash.
Mit der increasing popularity of B/W-Single-Use-Cameras haben sie wohl recht, wie man z. B. hier und da sehen kann.
Sowieso scheint die analoge SW-Fotografiererei schwer im Aufwind zu sein, was man u. a. an der großen Anzahl von Schwarzweißfilmen erkennen kann, die zum erklecklichen Teil neu auf dem Markt sind.
Die Kamera kommt übrigens mit 2 Kentmere Pan 400 films, battery and strap and makes the perfect gift for anyone looking to try shooting film.
Die Kamera ist made in China und der Film made in England.
Hier ein kurzer Überblick, wie Harman und Ilford zusammenhängen.
This is very similar to my purse, which I fell in love with and wanted to see it as a tablerunner--I know, I'm obsessive.
There is not a lot of color in my flower garden now, so I opted to put a boxwood plant into a recycle can. Thought I would get a snap with the 50mm and share.
The Antelope Hotel was probably first built as a coaching house, with the earliest recorded date for a licence being 1666. It later became an inn and then a hotel in the early C19. It is thought to be the oldest licenced premises in continuous use in Poole.
The building was once two storeys with a mansard roof; an additional storey and new roof were added in the early C19. Between 1865 and 1882 the Poole lifeboat crew, alerted by a rocket to a call, would muster at the hotel to be taken by a horse brake (a fast cart) to their boat which was stationed at North Haven Point, Sandbanks. This stopped when a new lifeboat house was constructed on Fisherman’s Dock.
The building was refitted in 1939 when a C15 stone fireplace was discovered. A hand-painted sign on the roof parapet proclaiming ‘Family and Yachting Inn’, as shown in an 1835 engraving when the hotel was a posting inn on the route to London, was painted over after 2003.
Details
Hotel and restaurant, once a coaching inn. C16 possibly reusing C15 fabric; remodelled in the C18; refaced and roof raised in the early C19; refitted in 1939.
MATERIALS: dark-brown brick with red-brick dressings and terracotta tile roofs behind a flat parapet, with tall red-brick end stacks. There is some rubble stone construction to the carriage entrance and former warehouse, which is mainly of red and blue brick.
PLAN: built on an L-shaped plan with a long rear left wing, thought to have been a wholesale warehouse, and right-hand carriage entrance.
EXTERIOR: the principal elevation of the building is three storeys and five bays east to west, with a two-storey range containing a carriage entrance to the right. The near-symmetrical front has a central doorway with timber cinquefoil attached columns and bell capitals to a bracketed porch; above which is a canted first-floor oriel window with a panelled apron; and above again is a blind lunette to the second-floor. On the ground floor, to the right is an early-C20 shop front with pilasters, panelling beneath three windows, and a glazed door, with transom lights above; this was once the bar entrance. To the left are two sash windows with six panes to the top sashes and lettered leaded lights to the bottom, both under rubbed and gauged red-brick flat arches. There are also flat brick arches above the six-over-six-pane unhorned sash windows to the first floor, and three-over-six-pane sashes to second floor. A large late-C19 lantern is fixed to the right of the oriel window.
The right-hand, two-storey, two-window range has a segmental-arched carriage entrance beneath a C20 canted oriel window and a right-hand blocked segmental-arched window. At the rear is a half-hipped roof and late-C19 two-over-two-pane sash windows in exposed boxes.
The eastern rear range has a half-hipped roof and C19 two-over-two-pane sash windows. The former wholesale warehouse range at the rear to the west has a partial rubble-stone plinth, and shallow pilasters between cambered brick arches to six-over-six-pane sash windows.
INTERIOR: the ground floor and much of the interior was remodelled in the late C20, but C19 joinery (such as boarded doors and panelled shutters) and a C19 Jacobean-style stair with barley-twist bannisters and integral newel electric-lights is thought to survive. There is a fireplace with a Purbeck marble lintel to ground floor left, and another with shaped corbels and hollow-chamfered lintel. The ceiling beams are exposed. Additionally, the RCHME note some C16 details in the south-west rear wing.

The church appears to have been dismantled and the materials reused for other buildings.

One of the pieces at a special exhibit of the work of Shih Chieh Huang, an artist based out of Taipei. He takes objects like discarded plastic bags, old computer fans and motion detectors to create pieces that move and "breathe" in accordance with movement around them. On exhibit at the Worcester Art Museum.
This building, a blend of vintage and new, is the successful outcome of a lengthy battle waged by the Art Deco Society of Washington and others to save an historic Art Deco design that had been hidden away and forgotten.
The original bus terminal epitomized the era's streamlined Moderne style, evoking the efficiency and adventure of travel. It was "modernized" in 1976 by being encased in a cheap covering of indifferent design and then closed in 1987. Preservationists first had to pioneer the concept of landmarking a structure that could not actually be seen and then insist on new construction that would adapt its distinctive features to a new commercial use.
The first 42 feet of the former Greyhound Terminal remain meticulously restored and serve the "1100 New York Avenue" office building as lobby and storefronts. Inside is an information desk adapted from the ticket booth and an explanatory display open on weekdays.

Bowling alley floors for our new countertops.
Marmoleum flooring. Cabinets from Phillips Arena in Atlanta.
A home-owner has brightened up their street frontage by fixing a lot of old, colourful, casement windows to a fence. A nice bit of whimsy.
As I was shopping for a nightgown (seriously, these are fantastic, and so are the long johns), I found a little kid t-shirt that I really wished came in my size. The lovely Sarah had the idea to get one and make it into a cowl, and so I did.
To give it more structure and make it actually warm, I lined it with fabric from a very fine gauge wool cardigan that had some holes in it.
Hooray, polar bears, mushrooms, squirrels, owls, and trees for me!
