Hertz


One of the many signs around Greymouth - this one next to the railway station advertises car rentals. I can't remember the name we used when we first visited in January last year before we moved down but it was way cheaper than these probably are.

Linking up with Weekend reflections and the Weekend roundup.

Hertz is everywhere in major cities. Ace makes me think of Ace Hardware, they use to have lots of ads during sport events in the US.

It's the open space and low rise behind the sign that I find easy on the eye - relaxed looking.

We don't have many ground signs in the US, most are suspended from steel poles high along the roads and streets. Or from large "billboards" on the ground out in the fields. Most towns don't allow them.
I noticed your painted "Chorus utility boxes", we have none of those as our utility boxes are in backyards near the property lines.
Thanks for peeking in on me. I just remembered, our across the street folk are moving back to Melbourne, Aus soon,before school is out, perhaps April, could be March as their house is sold. We won't come your way again to see them ever again. We live near Katy, Texas, Cinco Ranch suburb, 77494.

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Vondel

  I nthe heart of Devonport in Auckland is this little block of businesses. In my younger days I worked in this suburb as a legal typist for lawyers and to see it now as it is, it's made many changes over the years. This building is surrounded by older style buildings in the main street with businesses such as shoe shops, clothing shops, professionals, cafes, bars, restaurants etc. It's a very upmarket suburb with quite expensive houses along the waterfront. Vondel in the above photo is a restaurant but upon looking up their website, there wasn't alot of information about who they are. Linking up with  Weekend Reflections   and the  Weekend Roundup .
