screenshot of Oneida Mills being repurposed into apartments .. X is where I take shots ..

from the Historic Oneida Cotton Mills - into apartments - Rehab Builders has a website - check out some of the other works they have done - not met them, but they put to use all they can - this is a 'feel good' collage for me - not in my backyard - but my small town - believes in preserving the history it can - shall keep the photos coming - if you look at the Album - Historic Buildings - you can see photos from 2013 - and later following the changes - © All Rights Reserved photos from 2013 [while permits were still being pulled] - to 2016 - much has changed, yet the History will remain

of Lake Mac - peaceful - a wonderful place to visit - have a picnic - or - do absolutely nothing - but - listen to leaves rustle - as a soft breeze - passes through them - and - an occasional splash in the lake - fish - or one of the resident Mallard families - viewing this photo, all those memories surround my senses - May you all have a place to visit that will keep your mind alive, yet peaceful .. even if memories .. taken in 2016

out the window - white and pink Redbuds - Dogwoods of white - grace the side of the Interstate - different counties plant various things - along the Interstate - soon, blankets of wildflowers and hills of Daylilies - will add more color to North Carolina - former First Lady Dottie Martin, wife of Governor Jim Martin - is credited with initiating the idea for the NC program - © All Rights Reserved ** EXPLORE **

Burlington Coffin Co. is coming down - Some wood and bricks have been salvaged - Metal will be sold for scrap - Check the posts tops on the chain link fence - Are triangular - Not seen that before - Interesting how on the left, a tree and the fence became one - One fascinating salvage will come out last - A safe with 6ft doors - My neighbor showed me a cell phone pic he took - It is a monster - Couldn't get the ghost sign to show up - Went different times of day -- different camera settings -- different angles - So, the center photo in black, much smaller than the original - If I can find out when the safe is to be removed, I'll go back - But, this isn't a happy scene for me - © All Rights Reserved ** 1 note ** Update: 6 April 2016, the safe was removed and I missed the event. A couple of workers I spoke with said it was huge, taking several men plus machinery to move. Since I know where it went, there is always the possibility of a photo!
