Parts of Miami Beach are sinking, but there, the rising sea is the bigger issue. They need to redirect storm drains, sewers, and many other infrastructure issues.

I do not remember when they closed the upper two floors with the residence rooms permanently, maybe the early 1990s? On modern standards, these rooms were bleak and cramped. They had one electric outlet. For many young men in the mid-20th century, a YMCA was home, often for years.<br />KodachromeguyKodachromeguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09234925040052813302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-418200345166548412.post-8083481419680694292024-02-14T09:23:06.826-08:002024-02-14T09:23:06.826-08:00oliphant claim that she's got letter of edward...oliphant claim that she's got letter of edward livingston / A.

It’s a fenced in area in which the original buildings are leased out to small business. <br /> I rent a small building on the site. What is fascinating, is my building had been nearly untouched and includes explosion proof fittings everywhere. I believe my building had been used for some type of fuel mixing heating/warming (there is an oven/kiln in one of the rooms). There are also 3 large berms surrounding my building.<br /> I would love to find the building plans for that building as there are some strange dirt filled holes in some of the rooms….Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16730101434470749187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-418200345166548412.post-84055330890020854772024-02-10T15:25:37.917-08:002024-02-10T15:25:37.917-08:00Interesting about the Y building.

In early Dec. 1978 I trekked from Pokhara to the nearest crossing of the Kali Gandaki and returned by a path that seemed less in use a little further north. Those 10 or so were perhaps the most enjoyable in my life. It seems that not all too much has changed there physically since. I found the local people the most friendly of any anywhere. I'm still hoping it will be possible to return one day.Eugene Weldonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-418200345166548412.post-17049805003105128322024-01-26T21:54:57.326-08:002024-01-26T21:54:57.326-08:00Nice to see Clock Auditorium highlighted.

That story about the wrecking ball bouncing off a school building goes back to the demolition of Redlands Junior High School across the street, in the mid-1960s. I've never heard the story that Clock was slated for demolition in the 1980s - after retrofitting in the late 1960s. What's the source? Agreed that Redlands is a far cry from Los Angeles, so that connection feels forced.Gregghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02317728936584886800noreply@blogger.com
