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.

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.

uh- it took me a long time to ReUse this f.cking bone!
have a look at the ReUse project: www.flickr.com/groups/reuseproject/
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.
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.

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.
HMS Ark Royal was the former flagship of the Royal Navy. One of three Invincible class aircraft carriers she was affectionately known as The Mighty Ark. Her keel was laid by Swan Hunter at Wallsend on 7th December 1978 and she was launched on 20th June 1981 and completed in 1985. Major deployments included the Bosnian war (1993) and the invasion of Iraq (2003). More recently, she assisted in the repatriation of air travellers stranded by the 2010 volcanic eruption.

It appears that this motel was built in 1971 as a Best Western motel. I am not sure what, if anything, this was between Best Western and Budget Host.
I had originally thought this complex was an L+K Motel and Restaurant complex since there is an obvious former L+K restaurant and a motel that appeared to be the same complex. L+K was a big operator of motels and restaurants under the L+K name. The first odd thing I found was when the restaurant was listed as being built in 1970 and the motel was listed as being opened in 1971. However, I looked closer at the vintage photo I found of the site and noticed the L+K sign only listed "FOOD" and didn't have "MOTEL" on it. On even closer inspection of the photo, I noticed what appears to be a Best Western sign in front of the motel. It doesn't appear the motel was an L+K, so it must have just been the restaurant only location.
