Robey Theatre.
Built 1911, 1926. Architects Carmichael and Millspaugh. However, my sources conflict. Others state 1905 or 1906 as the date of construction... they did just celebrate their 100th birthday, so, there you go.
Originally, the theatre was on the first two floors, while the Knights of Pythias were on the third. Still in operation!

Fairbourne Tower - a tower block on Sutton Road, Erdington in Birmingham.
The tower block is one of five identical blocks in a row. The tower blocks are owned and managed by Birmingham City Council.
I've also found the following information (courtesy of UK Housing Wiki):
Fairbourne Tower is a 36 metre tall tower block on Beechmount Drive on the Lyndhurst estate of Erdington, Birmingham, England. It has 12 storeys making it one of the shorter five tower blocks on the estate. It was one of the two tower blocks on the estate that were finished in 1959.
In 1961, the tower block won the Civic Award for housing, along with the rest of the estate. Views from the tower block extend over to Sutton Park and beyond.
This sign is located on Thompson Street btwn Bleecker and Houston. To get to the height of the sign I put the camera on an extended monopod and used a wireless shutter release.
Greg Lowry was updating the "Coffee By The Bag" sign at Jo's Coffee on South Congress in Austin, Texas.
I saw signs like this all over Amish country.... urging us "Englishers" to be careful while in our automobiles.

This rickety old produce stand survived Katrina, and stood empty for months. I resisted the temptation to go pry this sign off to hang on my kitchen wall. Then a tornado blew through there and destroyed the stand. Now there's a new one, with pre-fab pieces and nothing as interesting as this. You can still get your Creole tomatoes there, though.
There's a sign-painter around Rochester (UK) whose handiwork is everywhere; I took numerous photos of it, in case anyone felt moved to interpret it digitally. . . .
I have to disagree with the "Tops in Food" part. I can appreciate their sign though. Bardstown Road.

Interstate 405 (I-405, and colloquially referred to as "The 405" or the four-oh-five) is a major north–south Interstate Highway in Southern California. It is a bypass of Interstate 5, running along the western and southern parts of the Greater Los Angeles Area from Irvine in the south to near San Fernando in the north. The entire route is known as the northern segment of the San Diego Freeway.
I-405 is a heavily-traveled thoroughfare by commuters and freight haulers along its entire length and is the busiest and most congested freeway in the United States. The freeway's annual average daily traffic between exits 21 and 22 in Seal Beach reached 374,000 in 2008, making it the highest count in the nation. It has played a crucial role in the development of dozens of cities and suburbs along its route through the Greater Los Angeles area.
This route is part of the California Freeway and Expressway System.

Yes, that’s me!……… This is a photo the photographer took last weekend as I was signing the marriage license for my niece and nephew…… never in my wildest dream did I ever see myself performing a marriage ceremony…….or signing a valid marriage license!…….But they wanted me to marry them, and how could I refuse?! …… it was an honor to be asked to do it…….. even my Grandson asked if would do his wedding if he ever found someone who he would fall in love with and want to marry. My answer….. “of course I would, Caleb!….. if I’m still around, I’ll do it…. just don’t rush into it….” I said to my one and only 22 year old Grandson……. I’m giving my twin Granddaughters 10-12 more years before I hear them ask the request……. They’ll be 13 in March………. ♂️

Just a week after our biggest snow of the winter 05 (March) I went looking for signs of Spring out in my garden. Sure enough with just a few warm days this past week things have begun to grow. No blooms yet except for some tiny Birds Eye flowers but maybe this time next week.
Road trip to Kivik, Skåne. Sweden is slowly dying. It reached its peak around 1950's. There are some diners left, but only along the biggest highways. And everything is getting uglier.
Somerville likes to have multiple streets with not-quite-the-same names. They might be next to each other or halfway across the city; one might be a main street and the other a quiet residential road.
