Pic of the week game

[Burque73]

It's a good thing building codes have changed. This old diner on Central Ave, aka Route 66, in Albuquerque collapsed a few weeks ago. Someone actually caught it on camera.
Route 66 sure has changed too.

Not be a stickler for the rules but it's supposed to be your bike or a bike you once owned, i believe

If that's the case then, this fuzzy photo will suffice. No longer own TL1000 S & swapped exhausts on the others.

There used to be 7 windmills here. They have been removed after their 20 year useful life.

.......
Change is the topic. Repurposed buildings or sites, things no longer in existence, etc.
........

Here is a big situation in our small town here.
Most of the downtown structures are from 1890s-1900s-1910s-1920s.
and here is a pic from yesterday, here is a major portion of an entire block where, untill a couple weeks ago, was a 1920s bank with 1970s addition (where we had our first mortage and where took our paychecks)

for discussion purposes, the following photo(s) is part of the 1920s bank before and during the demolition

Going in is a 5 story Marriott hotel. Big. Will take up the entire half a block from sidewalk to sidewalk to sidewalk next to road.

Ok, since the usual suspects are at the BC rally without me, I’ll see if I can’t make a mess of the recap.

Shoot, think I'll vote for Baatfam this week, just cause we have a building very similar on Hwy 96, just south of Center Hill Dam, but I've never seen a large canary in front of ours.

The Community Theatre pic from marvinsc is my favorite this week.

 

[Rich82GS750TZ]

Good Saturday morning. Tally time.
Burque73 - 3
Redman -1
Baatfam - 1
Eli69 - 1
marvinsc - 1

Well, Roger @Burque73, where do we go from here?

 

[Burque73]

Thanks, Rich.
I found it challenging to find a pic that would make someone think "change" without a before and after pic. Found a couple of oil change places, but not interesting. Maybe the dry river bed for a change, but didn't look very picturesque. Maybe just overthinking things as usual...
Glad that pic worked out. I've got a few shots from this week's rides.
Back in a flash.

I was riding around downtown the other night and found this shiny gorilla staring at me. I think he took a shine to my 850. There were actually two gorillas there but this one outshined the other. Ha..... 'Nuff monkeying around....

Unless you can find a six foot polished primate, how about just SHINE in any tense or idiom that you'd like to interperet it.

That's funny!

 

[rphillips]

Na, nothing funny to Baatfam, where he lives now, should be just sort'f a normal every-day thing.
