Aus der ehemaligen Zeche „Maximilian“ ist im Jahr 1984 im Zuge der ersten Landesgartenschau der Maximilianpark entstanden. Rund 450.000 Besucher seither erkunden jedes Jahr den großzügig gestalteten Park, der ein wahres Spielparadies für Kinder ist. Die Spaziergänge des Parks führen vorbei an bunten Gärten, einem auf natürliche Weise entstandenen Teich- und Sumpfgebiet sowie an dem größten tropischen Schmetterlingsgarten Nordrhein-Westfalens. Hier können über 200 farbenfrohe Schmetterlinge betrachtet werden. Jedes Jahr finden zahlreiche Veranstaltungen wie Konzerte, Kabarettabende, Kindertheater, Messen, Märkte und Feste auf dem Gelände statt.
From the former "Maximilian" colliery, the Maximilianpark was created in 1984 as part of the first state horticultural show. Since then, around 450,000 visitors have been exploring the spacious park every year, which is a real play paradise for children. The walks in the park lead past colorful gardens, a naturally created pond and swamp area and the largest tropical butterfly garden in North Rhine-Westphalia. Over 200 colorful butterflies can be seen here. Every year numerous events such as concerts, cabaret evenings, children's theater, trade fairs, markets and festivals take place on the site.
The fortifications of the town were built after the Mongol Invasion. It had four gates, which opened to the south, west, north and northeast. The plain of the town slightly slopes north, so the southern gate, which was located on the highest point, was called Upper Gate, while the northeastern gate, which was located on the lowest point, was called Lower Gate. The walls were defended by wide moats.
The trade road coming from the central regions of Hungary left the town towards Poland through the Lower Gate. From the town gate a little wooden bridge led to a half-round barbican, which still stands, surrounded by moats. From the barbican a drawbridge led across the moat. After the fortifications of the town lost their significance, the wooden bridges over the moats were demolished and a new stone bridge was raised with two 5-metres wide arches in 1821. A similar stone bridge was built to connect the barbican with the town but it had only one arch.

In the Xi Tauri (Ushakaron) Star System, a mere 210 light years away from the McDonalds in my town, there is a planet that orbits Aldebaran. Scientists and all there fancy, highfalutin astronomy gear have long figured its existence but, have never been able to confirm it. Well, I know a thing or two about outer space and I can tell you that it does exist and it is known by the inhabitants as Blort. Indeed, I know this for sure because... I've been there! Yes! See that apartment balcony, third row from the left, eight from the ground? My good friend, Keegzat, lives there and we often trade secret strategies for dominoes; long, contemplative discussions on the benefits of a secure bitcoin wallet and the tender mercies of preconceived naughtiness when no one is suspecting the neither - a fine trick when nothing is working but the fanbelt.
For the Alien Worlds challenge over at the Worlds of Thrylium group.
Seemed rather appropriate for the new challenge at Award Tree: Back from the Future

In many German cities, structural changes in the retail and catering sectors have led to a noticeable downward trend, manifested in a decline in the quality of life, vacant buildings, the rise of cheap chain stores, and other factors. This is also the case here in Alleestraße, the pedestrian zone of Remscheid, a medium-sized town in the Bergisches Land region (Düsseldorf administrative district).

In vielen deutschen Städten macht sich infolge struktureller Wandlungen im Einzelhandel und der Gastronomie eine Abwärtsentwicklung bemerkbar, die sich in abnehmender Aufenthaltsqualität, Gebäudeleerstand, Vormarsch von Billigketten u.a. ausdrückt. So auch hier in der Alleestraße, der Fußgängerzone von Remscheid, einem Mittelzentrum im Bergischen Land (Regierungsbezirk Düsseldorf).

There is a second railroad in the Pittston area that interchanges with the RBMN. In business since 1994 the Luzerne and Susquehanna operates 60 miles of assorted bits of cast of scraps of once important class 1 routes that once served the Scranton Wilkes-Barre area. The valley was placed with a nearly incomprehensible web of rails at one time that generated carloads and revenue to boggle the mind. But now so little remains and what does is but a shadow of itself. In fact the trackage beneath this unit that sits stationary, blue flagged, and tied down was once the LV's mainline into Wilkes-Barre.
LS 1751 itself is an EMD GP9 blt. Oct. 1959 ad Pennsylvania Railroad 7242. The venerable geep is now the property of RJ Corman Railroad group which bought the L&S in August 2020. One wonders if 1751 will survive and trade her somber LS black for brilliant Corman crimson. I guess we'll just have to wait and see...

The area that was to become West Palm Beach was settled in the late 1870s and 1880s by a few hundred settlers who called the vicinity "Lake Worth Country." These settlers were a diverse community from different parts of the United States and the world. They included founding families such at the Potters and the Lainharts, who would go on to become leading members of the business community in the fledgling city. The first white settlers in Palm Beach County lived around Lake Worth, then an enclosed freshwater lake, named for Colonel William Jenkins Worth, who had fought in the Second Seminole War in Florida in 1842. Most settlers engaged in the growing of tropical fruits and vegetables for shipment the north via Lake Worth and the Indian River. By 1890, the U.S. Census counted over 200 people settled along Lake Worth in the vicinity of what would become West Palm Beach. The area at this time also boasted a hotel, the "Cocoanut House", a church, and a post office. The city was platted by Henry Flagler as a community to house the servants working in the two grand hotels on the neighboring island of Palm Beach, across Lake Worth in 1893, coinciding with the arrival of the Florida East Coast railroad. Flagler paid two area settlers, Captain Porter and Louie Hillhouse, a combined sum of $45,000 for the original town site, stretching from Clear Lake to Lake Worth.
On November 5, 1894, 78 people met at the "Calaboose" (the first jail and police station located at Clematis St. and Poinsettia, now Dixie Hwy.) and passed the motion to incorporate the Town of West Palm Beach in what was then Dade County (now Miami-Dade County). This made West Palm Beach the first incorporated municipality in Dade County and in South Florida. The town council quickly addressed the building codes and the tents and shanties were replaced by brick, brick veneer, and stone buildings. The city grew steadily during the 1890s and the first two decades of the 20th century, most residents were engaged in the tourist industry and related services or winter vegetable market and tropical fruit trade. In 1909, Palm Beach County was formed by the Florida State Legislature and West Palm Beach became the county seat. In 1916, a new neo-classical courthouse was opened, which has been painstakingly restored back to its original condition, and is now used as the local history museum.
The city grew rapidly in the 1920s as part of the Florida land boom. The population of West Palm Beach quadrupled from 1920 to 1927, and all kinds of businesses and public services grew along with it. Many of the city's landmark structures and preserved neighborhoods were constructed during this period. Originally, Flagler intended for his Florida East Coast Railway to have its terminus in West Palm, but after the area experienced a deep freeze, he chose to extend the railroad to Miami instead.
The land boom was already faltering when city was devastated by the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane. The Depression years of the 1930s were a quiet time for the area, which saw slight population growth and property values lower than during the 1920s. The city only recovered with the onset of World War II, which saw the construction of Palm Beach Air Force Base, which brought thousands of military personnel to the city. The base was vital to the allied war effort, as it provided an excellent training facility and had unparalleled access to North Africa for a North American city. Also during World War II, German U-Boats sank dozens of merchant ships and oil tankers just off the coast of West Palm Beach. Nearby Palm Beach was under black out conditions to minimize night visibility to German U-boats.
The 1950s saw another boom in population, partly due to the return of many soldiers and airmen who had served in the vicinity during the war. Also, the advent of air conditioning encouraged growth, as year-round living in a tropical climate became more acceptable to northerners. West Palm Beach became the one of the nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas during the 1950s; the city's borders spread west of Military Trail and south to Lake Clarke Shores. However, many of the city's residents still lived within a narrow six-block wide strip from the south to north end. The neighborhoods were strictly segregated between White and African-American populations, a legacy that the city still struggles with today. The primary shopping district remained downtown, centered around Clematis Street.
In the 1960s, Palm Beach County's first enclosed shopping mall, the Palm Beach Mall, and an indoor arena were completed. These projects led to a brief revival for the city, but in the 1970s and 1980s crime continued to be a serious issue and suburban sprawl continued to drain resources and business away from the old downtown area. By the early 1990s there were very high vacancy rates downtown, and serious levels of urban blight.
Since the 1990s, developments such as CityPlace and the preservation and renovation of 1920s architecture in the nightlife hub of Clematis Street have seen a downtown resurgence in the entertainment and shopping district. The city has also placed emphasis on neighborhood development and revitalization, in historic districts such as Northwood, Flamingo Park, and El Cid. Some neighborhoods still struggle with blight and crime, as well as lowered property values caused by the Great Recession, which hit the region particularly hard. Since the recovery, multiple new developments have been completed. The Palm Beach Mall, located at the Interstate 95/Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard interchange became abandoned as downtown revitalized - the very mall that initiated the original abandonment of the downtown. The mall was then redeveloped into the Palm Beach Fashion Outlets in February 2014. A station for All Aboard Florida, a high-speed passenger rail service serving Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando, is under construction as of July 2015.

We found a child's drink cup at the dog park yesterday at the top of a very tall wooden pole. I assume that was done so it could be found if anyone came back looking for it. My grandson wanted it badly. He threw his friend Beev at it, trying to knock it off the top (Beev is a stuffed animal). He got it on the FIRST try! Wanting to support the purpose it was most likely left there in the first place, I put it back, explaining why. Not happy, he tried to do knock it down again. In addition to Beev, he threw his toy cars, rocks, anything he could find. He did that for a while (see video posted after this photo). My grandson is not verbal yet, but he made a proposal. He said he wanted to trade his cars for the prized cup at the top (through his own way of communicating in sounds, gestures). I hope whoever comes back for the cup won't mind finding cars instead.
