Florida's Turnpike, designated as unsigned State Road 91 (SR 91), is a toll road in the U.S. state of Florida, maintained by Florida's Turnpike Enterprise (FTE). Spanning approximately 309 miles (497 km) along a northwest–southeast axis, the turnpike is in two sections. The SR 91 mainline runs roughly 265 miles (426 km), from its southern terminus at an interchange with Interstate 95 (I-95) in Miami Gardens to an interchange with I-75 in Wildwood at its northern terminus. The Homestead Extension of Florida's Turnpike (abbreviated HEFT and designated as unsigned SR 821) continues from the southern end of the mainline for another 48 miles (77 km) to US Highway 1 (US 1) in Florida City. The slogan for the road is "The Less Stressway". The mainline opened in stages between 1957 and 1964, while the extension was completed in 1974. The turnpike runs through Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach, where it parallels I-95, and through Orlando, where it crosses I-4.
Tolls on the turnpike are an average of 6.7 cents per mile (4.2 ¢/km) for cars and other two-axle vehicles using SunPass. A trip on the entire turnpike (not including the Homestead Extension) would cost $22.59 with Toll-by-Plate, and $17.45 with SunPass.
The turnpike was originally entirely on the ticket system, but due to congestion in the Miami and Orlando metro areas, a coin system was implemented from the Three Lakes toll plaza north to the terminus at I-75, and from Lantana south to I-95, in the 1990s. In 2015, the portion between the Golden Glades toll barrier and I-595 in Davie was converted to a cashless toll system. Additional projects to convert the turnpike to an electronic collection system were completed between I-595 and Lantana in 2019, and from SR 429 north to I-75 in Wildwood in 2020.
The final stretch of the turnpike to use the ticket system ran between what are now electronic toll gantries at Lantana (mile 89.4 in Palm Beach County) and Three Lakes (mile 236.5 in Osceola County). This section was converted to a cashless system on November 8, 2021, removing the final cash-based toll collections and converting the entire length of the turnpike to electronic toll collection.
The SunPass electronic toll collection system, in use since 1999, has become the primary method of paying tolls on the turnpike, with 80% of customers using the electronic tolling as of October 2009. SunPass can be used on most Florida toll roads, in conjunction with other electronic toll collection systems in Florida (E-Pass and LeeWay). SunPass users benefit from an average of a 25% discount on tolls and access to SunPass-only exit ramps. SunPass transponders are available at the gift shop and gas stations at all service plazas, as well as Walgreens, Publix, and CVS stores statewide.[18] Since 2021, E-ZPass, which is used primarily in the Midwest and Northeast U.S., has also been accepted on Florida's Turnpike.
As the Turnpike and its system of roads are primary routes for emergency evacuations, tolls may be suspended, in cooperation with the state's emergency operations center and county governments, when a state or national emergency, most common being a hurricane watch, warrant rapid movement of the population.
Eight service plazas are located along the turnpike, spaced about 45 miles (72 km) apart. All eight plazas are open 24 hours a day and located on the center median of the turnpike for access from both directions and offer gasoline, diesel fuel, internet access, travel and tourism info and tickets, picnic areas, TV news, gift shops offering Florida Lottery, family-friendly restrooms, and pay phones. A convenience store/gas station is located at the Snapper Creek plaza on the Homestead Extension of the turnpike, while the remaining seven are full-service plazas, featuring a selection of franchised fast food restaurants. Three of the service plazas (Pompano, Port St. Lucie/Fort Pierce, Turkey Lake) also provide E85 ethanol. The Turkey Lake plaza also has a Tesla Supercharger for Tesla electric vehicles. Superchargers are also located at Ft. Drum plaza, and Canoe Creek and Okahumpa are scheduled to open Superchargers in 2021/22.
The operation of Sunshine State Parkway gas stations and service centers was originally bid out under separate contracts, and as a result, differing petroleum brands operated concurrently along the parkway, with varying levels of service and pricing. This practice was discontinued in 1995 when all service center operations were combined to improve supply and continuity of service; with Martin Petroleum, a Florida corporation, operating the stations with Citgo brand fuel at its stations. Since then, the Venezuelan government, under President Hugo Chávez, nationalized Citgo, and in 2006, political controversy resulted in a movement to remove the brand from the turnpike.
In 2009, Areas U.S.A. signed a 30-year contract for operation of food and retail concessions, taking over operations from Martin Petroleum and HMSHost. Florida Turnpike Services, L.L.C., Areas' partner, replaced the Citgo brand with Shell, the current brand for gas stations along the turnpike. Many of the restaurant brands were also changed over, with Dunkin' Donuts replacing Starbucks locations as well as KFC, Pizza Hut, Villa Pizza and Wendy's replacing most Popeyes and Burger King locations. The reconstruction and renovation of six of the service plazas began on November 1, 2010, to be completed in 2012. The Okahumpka and Ft. Pierce plazas will begin reconstruction when the other plaza projects are complete. Total renovation costs are estimated at $160 million.

Unsigned wooden coyote figure in a zoot suit (I hear they're coming back), apparently by artist Markus Pierson. (Google his name to see other works by him.) Jazzy coyotes in brightly colored zoot suits are a common theme of his. The field of view is 2 inches.
A more professional piece of his I encountered can be seen here.

The Roosevelt Bridge is a major highway segmental bridge across the St. Lucie River in Stuart, Florida. Carrying U.S. Route 1 (Federal Highway; unsigned State Road 5), it was built to supersede the old Roosevelt Bridge, which had twin parallel drawbridges, one for northbound traffic (opened in 1934, 27.203228°N 80.259612°W) and the other for southbound (opened in 1964, 27.202475°N 80.259762°W).
The new bridge, completed in 1996, is raised and much longer than the older twin drawbridges. The southbound span of the old bridge is still functional for road and boat traffic and now carries two-way road traffic for what is now known as Dixie Highway, County Road 707. The new high-level Roosevelt Bridge is approximately one mile long and is made of two three-lane sections running parallel to each other. The northbound bridge was completed first and housed two lanes of both north and south-bound traffic until the second bridge was finished.

The Washington Post published an article on August 11, 2013 titled, "What Lurks Below," with respect to the deadly power of the Potomac River below Great Falls. Approaching at a burly one thousand feet wide, the Potomac plunges seventy-five feet in about a half mile over a series of twenty-foot waterfalls, forcefully necking down to between sixty to one hundred feet in width as the mass of water pushes powerfully through Mather Gorge. The piece focused around three recent drowning deaths that have occurred since June of this year. Counter to our better senses, its not the raging whitewater that presents the greatest danger; it's what author, Steve Hendrix, describes vividly as "the dark world of turbulence and chaos" just beneath the surface. Chief of one of the river rescue teams, James Seavey, says: "On the surface, the water may be moving at 10 knots, while five feet below it could be going 35 knots," through what author, Hendrix, describes as "an ancient river bottom of jumbles of metamorphic boulders, crevices, and trees." Hendrix goes on to state that the "rare combination of geology, hydrology, and demography have combined to create a brutally effective drowning machine." The three individuals who fell victim to the river since June of this year were not incapable: a high school graduate, a young soldier, and an experienced whitewater kayaker from Greenville, South Carolina training for a race. An inter agency effort was assembled a number of years back to spread one simple message to visitors: If you go into the river at this location, you will die."
If you're out adventuring near swollen water courses or dangerous whitewater, remember, if you take an involuntary plunge, feet up and pointing downstream.

I missed the unsigned, designated trail for Wind Mountain and ended up hiking on an abandoned road which turned into a boot trail which turned into no trail at all. I knew I'd lost my way but wasn't lost per se. I could see the sun and the river and the top of Wind Mountain which was my goal. So I just launched myself up the hill. Uff da!
It was far longer and steeper than the trail but I was rewarded with better views of the Gorge and lots of sunshine. I laid down here, on the warm slope of moss covered rocks and got some sunbathing in while catching my breath. Whoa was it steep! I could use all the miles and elevation gain I can get as I entertain notions of climbing mountains.
The trail to Wind Mountain is only as wide as a foot path so if you are still on the dirt road and see the wider, abandoned road trail on the right, you've gone too far and missed the trail. Scott Cook's Curious Gorge book is wonderful but is a bit slight on descriptions. Later I saw someone else randomly coming up through the woods as I did so I'm not the only one!
I eventually got to the actual trail as I neared the top of Wind Mountain. After eating lunch at the top, I jogged the trail down (easier on the downhill than walking) and was amazed by how fast I got back to my car. It really is a short trail, if you take the trail. My way was prettier but definitely harder!
The top of Wind Mountain has long been used (and still is) by Native Americans as a spirit quest site. I think this is part of why there isn't much signage though it is a Forest Service trail. Please be respectful; don't disturb the rock structures and stay on the trail and at the specific viewpoints at the top.
Although unsigned, this scarce lamp is often attributed to the great Arthur von Frankenburg. The birds - be they eagles, falcons, hawks or albatrosses - are strikingly similar to the couple of bird bookeneds he's designed and released by his company, Frankart.
The lamp dates to the late 1920's or very early 1930's, and an on/off switch was subsequently added (likely in the late 1940's or early 1950's, judging by the hardware). The glass shade did not originally come with it; the shade I bought with it was amber, and definitely not original to the lamp. The crystal deco shade photographed here was original to some Frankart lamp or another, and happens to be one of the rarest. It compliments the lamp nicely I think.

Guy MacCoy
(1904-1981)

Guy Crittington McKay was born in Rock Creek, KS in 1904 to Clifford McKay and Clara Angeline Young, whom was the granddaughter of Brigham Young. Clifford McKay later changed the family name to McCoy, and later on, Guy changed the name to Maccoy. Guy grew up showing a natural aptitude for art and had guiding forces at home and through school directing him to further his interests. In 1924, Upon leaving high school, Guy attended day and night courses at the Kansas City Art Institute. During that time Guy, met Geno Pettit, whom later becomes his wife. Guy was taught by and met several fellow artistsduring this period who have since become legendary in the Art world. Many were to become lifelong friends and colleagues. During the summers Guy travelled to Colorado Springs to attend the Broadmoor Art Academy.
By 1929 Guy was well on his way to a successful carreer. That year, he won a Tiffany Art Foundation scholarship in New York and both he, Geno and recent Guggenheim Fellowship winner Anthony Angarola headed to "The City". In 1930 Guy won The Art Students League Scholarship and began work within the League. During this time, Guy studied alongside Jackson Pollack, Rico Lebrun, Boardman Robinson, Thomas Hart Benton, Jan Matulka, Vaclav Vytlacil, and Arthur Young. During the summer months, Guy travelled back to Colorado Springs to teach at Broadmoor with Monty Lewis.
In 1933 Guy left the Art Student League to begin work within the Work Project Administration (WPA) under Dr. Herbert H. Spenden and directed by Ben Knotts. Guy is credited with murals that were created for Central American Arts and Girls Industrial High School. The following year, New York Mayor La Guardia instituted a large poster project, in which Guy became deeply involved. During the Great Depression, many artists were searching for a means to reproduce their original works faithfully, to offer additional revenue options from painting singular originals. Guy had been developing ideas for a printing process utilizing a silk screen and experimenting with various components and mediums to produce the desired results. This was the beginning of what would become the standard for reproducing original artwork, in an artform of itself. Guy was becoming the "Father of Serigraph".
Guy held the first one man show of the newly named "Serigraphs" at the Contemporary Art Gallery in 1938, featuring his works, "Woman Holding Cat" and "Still Life". In 1940 Guy graduated from Columbia University with his Bachelor of Arts in teaching. Guy and Geno moved to Vermont where Guy took up work with the Poligraphic Lithographic Company as a color separator and dot-etcher on the zinc lithographic plates. During this time Guy continued to refine the serigraphic process. In 1941 Guy got involved with "The Workshop" which was the predecessor to The National Serigraph Society, where Guy and Geno were directly involved up to 1947. In 1945 Guy and Geno left Vermont for Los Angeles, California. Other Artists and Serigraphers follow the Maccoy's to the West Coast.
A couple years after moving to California, Guy went to work with Bolter Lithography, during which time Herb Jepson asked Guy to teach at his newly formed Jepson Art Institute in Los Angeles. Guy taught alongside Geno Pettit, Rico Lebrun, William Moore, Francis de Erdely, Bill Brice and Howard Warshaw. In 1948 Guy formed the Western Serigraph Society and became its first President. And in 1949, Otis Art Institute of Los Angeles' director, Millard Sheets, convinced Guy to join the Otis faculty. Guy remained there for the next eleven years and retired in 1960 at age sixty five. During the next year Guy taught Art at several locations, including UCLA and The Palos Verdes Art Center. Many students from Jepson, Otis and UCLA follow Guy, including a student by the name of Yvonne Linnemeyer. Yvonne and her son, Alan, would go on to carry the message about this great American artist and serigraph pioneer after his passing. In 1965 Guy is asked to join and assist the newly formed Los Angeles Print Society (L.A.P.S.) By 1969, Guy was teaching classes and doing private instruction out of his Chatsworth badlands home and other area locations.
In 1970 Guy and Geno were notified that their fire insurance had been cancelled due to being in a high fire location. Two weeks later a devastating fire swept up from the Santa Suzanna mountains and destroyed their home and studio along with all their earthly possessions and a life's worth of Art and memorabilia. Shortly after this event, a huge out-pouring of support of all types comes from students, fellow artists and other associates. Guy was able to then establish the first of two new Guy Maccoy Studios in the Canoga Park area near his new residence. Yvonne and her son Alan Linnemeyer worked alongside Guy - Yvonne as additional color separator and screen stenciling, Alan as print technician.
Guy opened a second larger and greatly updated Guy Maccoy Studio in 1972, where he began painting originals, producing his own serigraphs, conducting Art classes and seminars, as well as taking on commissioned artworks from renown artists looking for fine Art Limited Edition Serigraphs. Again, Yvonne takes a key role in color separation and screen stenciling along with additional help from Dan Merrit and Ann Paes. Guy, Alan and Dan take on the key printing duties. Over this period the studio produces multiple commissioned works from renown artists such as: Marco Sassone, Eyvind Earle, Ted Degrazia, Peter Hurd, Fredrick & Eileen Whitaker, Millard Sheets, Peter Ellenshaw, and Jeffery Roy Lunge', just to name a few. Guy produced well over 100 original paintings and over eighty limited editions of his own works. Keeping in mind that all these serigraphs were hand stenciled on their screens using a method of color separation controlled one hundred percent by the mind's eye and knowledge of the Guy Maccoy process. Once the individual color run was completed on as few as 10 sheets of 100 percent rag paper to a practical sheet maximum of two hundred and fifty and never higher than three hundred with proofs included. After each print had been hand registered and printed it was hand hung up to dry, after all sheets in the edition had been run the screen was washed out, cleaned, dried and readied for the process to begin all over. The number of color runs to produce many of these fine work of art averaged in the fifty to eighty plus color runs with many prints having over one hundred color runs. This effect of color layering and intimate knowledge of color is what made Guy's work so beautiful, unique, collectable and valuable.
In 1981, Guy Crittington Maccoy had gone into the advanced stages of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease. After only eight months in the hospital, with his friends at his side, he and his gentle greatness passed away. Geno Pettit Maccoy passed only a year later.
The Guy Maccoy Studio is continued under the direction of Yvonne Linnemeyer, and over the next five years produced another fifteen commissioned works before finally closing in 1986. Now, 25 years later, Yvonne's son who once worked alongside the great Guy Maccoy, has resurrected all of the available documents, prints and original artwork and has undertaken the task of bringing Guy's legacy to the public eye through this Web site, www.guymaccoy.com, in hopes that his great story will be learned by a new generation, and a new appreciation for this man and his pioneering work will be discoved among artists and art lovers alike.
Guy Crittington MacCoy (1904 - 1981) was active/lived in Kansas, California. Guy MacCoy is known for Serigraphy, silkscreen, genre and still life painting.

Unsigned, probably French, c. 1840
Both Karl XIV Johan and Crown Prince Oskar (later Oskar I) are depicted on table clocks. The Crown Prince's portrait in the uniform of a hussar, sabre drawn, is based on a painting by Johan Gustaf Sandberg. The clock must have been manufactured in relatively large numbers, several of which are in the royal collections. One of them occupied the place of honour in Karl XIV Johan's bedchamber in Stockholm.

Bordsur med kronprins Oskar till häst
Osignerat, troligen franskt, ca 1840
Både Karl XIV Johan och kronprins Oskar (I) förekommer som krönfigurer på bordsur. Kronprinsens porträtt i husaruniform och med dragen sabel bygger på en målning av Johan Gustaf Sandberg. Uret måste ha tillverkats i relativt många exemplar, varav flera ingår i de kungliga samlingarna. Ett av dem stod på hedersplats i Karl XIV Johans sängkammare på Stockholms slott.

WEEK 51 – Cordova Super Target Final Day, Set V
As promised, here’s a better shot of the Target Café now that we head over that way. I’m calling it Target Café, but you’ll notice that it actually doesn’t have any branding to tell us what it really is. And it’s not that it had been removed for the final day or anything (although I would also like to point out that it does look like at least one of the menu boards had been removed in advance of the occasion!); instead, this store simply never had any café signage at all.
That’s a departure from the prior décor package, P97, which was usually accompanied by either a full-line Food Avenue or, more commonly, a Food Avenue Express. Additionally, subsequent décor packages (beginning with P04) began to re-sign the café area, usually with the Bullseye logo joined by a fork on one side and a spoon on the other to designate an eatery.
It’s not that the signage is particularly necessary, I imagine, seeing as how I’m sure the café would be fairly obvious and easy to locate what with its distinct setup (and if Target thinks the Horn Lake store will be fine with zero department signage whatsoever, surely a mere café would be fine without any!); but by the same token, it is a nice thing to have.

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
Unsigned/Unrest is a compilation CD put together by two charities: Burlington Art & Music Foundation and Believe in Something (HOC). The CD is being professionally pressed by Broken Heart Records & will be sold in stores; ALL profits will be going to St. Jude’s Children Hospital. GADE and myself were contracted early on by BA/MF to design the album and we eagerly jumped at the opportunity to design and donate this artwork, in order to help others and make a difference. I’ve always wanted to use TPL as a vessel to help others in need and I’m so grateful I was presented with this opportunity.
The CD’s full track listing hasn’t been revealed to me, and a lot of the support this CD will be receiving has been kept secret. However, I do know big acts like Mike Felumlee (ex Alkaline Trio member), Kut U Up (from blink-182 Tour DVD “Riding in Vans with Boys”) and Socratic (who had their album produced by Mark Hoppus, of blink-182) are all participating and donating exclusive songs. The CD will be released and sold in stores first quarter 2013.
