Well, nothing does last forever, right? Yet some things certainly do return to how they previously were. In some cases, they get restored. Before some things do get restored, however, there may be campaigns or fundraisers to make it occur. And if you want to know one that I now is going on in my community right now, this is what it is: one for a couple of tennis courts right on the edge of the field of my former elementary school. In fact, here is a photograph of a sign on the abandoned tennis courts’ metal fence from one […]
Double Dollar Stores
Well, I may have talked about how a Dollar Tree used to be in Whitewater in an older post, but NOW, here is some news…the chain is returning to the community soon enough! That is right, a second Dollar Tree (although not in the same location as the one that used to be in the plaza mall years ago) is being opened soon enough. Where the second Dollar Tree will be is by the Whitewater FortHealth Care Therapy building (the space by there had been an empty grassy field for many years). Anyway, you also remember that Dollar General I […]
Where a “Spin-Off” of a Chain Outlives That Chain…
Well here, you might have heard of a problem in recent years that some retail stores having been struggling and dying, partly thanks to online competitors. However, I have actually seen on the internet that a subgroup of a dead chain can actually still be around! And you bet in this post, I will give you an example of just that… You know about the now defunct retail chain Shopko? Well, you might also have heard that the chain went out of business several years ago… …however,
Back to the Furniture
You might (and presumably do) look at the furniture in your home as just everyday ones you use. Yet, if you are the head of your household, you also perhaps very well aware of where it all originated from. Well, for THIS post, I will describe a few furniture in my household (just in a single room, actually), which originate from a few ancestors of mine… We first begin with a look at the glass furniture from in cabinets in my dining room… The decorative glass tableware here is roughly 9 decades old! In addition, we next have a look […]
When Artwork Comes to Mind
We ALL have taken a course in our schools. Also, of course, courses in schools can all vary. Some courses which you have taken, however, just might have been of the same subject. Maybe it was due to that subject being your favorite one. I have had one such subject which I have preferred myself…artwork in school.
Speeding Up a Zephyr
Well, you remember that post I put up about CNW steam engines 175 and 1385 both being restored? Trains which are not steam locomotives can be restored as well, you know!
An Eye for Interior Gorgeousness…
I am certain you have seen a stained glass window at some point in your life. In a church, perhaps? Have you seen any sort of paintings inside the church, either? On a building wall in your community? Well, if you have ever wanted to know examples of how gorgeous some artwork can be in the inside of some places, you are looking at the correct post… First things first, just ANYONE would know that walls are able to be painted… however, have you also ever seen any home wall with more than one color? On the internet or in […]
Just When it Appears That All Hope is Lost..
Well, today is my Aunt Sue’s 65th birthday, so happy birthday to her, and congrats on making it six and a half decades! Anyway, you might not remember this, but over half a decade ago, I chatted about how resort hotel chain Kalahari had already opened locations in Wisconsin Dells, Sandusky, Ohio, as well as Ponoco Mountains, Pennsylvania, but its originally planned location in Fredericksburg, Virginia was still in question. Well, I have been looking this up a lot more recently, and I can tell you that status of Kalahari Resorts in Virginia now… Well, I am definitely sorry to […]
When You May Become a Member of More Than One Pool
First of all, I just bet you have had an experience swimming around in a pool, somewhere. How about in one in someone’s backyard, at a YMCA, or Kalahari or Great Wolf Lodge?
Where a Mall Could Make a Comeback
Well, you may have heard of a problem nowadays: shopping malls have been struggling and losing stores. However, while it is true that a fair amount of them having been dying, I know one which has refused to shut down just yet.
