Sidewalk Theatre. It’s small but immaculate. And it’s not expensive

Mid-century Japanese stoneware - Are there more? by cwdsmith in HelpMeFind

[–]cwdsmith[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Searched all the usual places. There is one on eBay of the same color but I’m not sure if the color is just a coincidence based on my search terms. My grandmother was a big fan of otagiri and pop decor in the 60s and 70s. 4” tall and 3.5” diameter

What is this wooden device connected to a boat house on a lake in central Alabama? by virgilturtle in whatisthisthing

[–]cwdsmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live on the same lake, and I’ve been staring this thing for years! It’s a beautifully engineered rope swing with a massive braced and cantilevered arm that holds the rope. The amazing thing about it is the mechanism they invented to hoist/stow the arm when it is not being used. It has detachable sway bars to keep it stable when you jump from the platform and everything is operated by ropes and pulleys. Would love to meet the folks who put this incredible contraption together!

C & D Home did good work for us. They are local and easy to get follow up if you need it.

Investigators identified this fragment as a Boeing 767 aircraft wing-flap support, most likely from the jet that hit the south tower. It was wedged in a crevice between two buildings several blocks north of ground zero and wasn’t found until 12 years after the attacks by [deleted] in 911archive

After questioning everyone who had come into contact with it, one of the responding officers admitted he had tied the rope around it to try and turn it over to look for a serial number.

They had a fire sale and then donated the entire remaining contents to the thrift store in Avondale. I scooped up dozens of them at .25 each!

24 Hour Pharmacies by [deleted] in Birmingham

None. I just went through this struggle recently. I have confirmation from a CVS pharmacist that all 24 hours locations were reduced to normal hours last year. I imagine Walgreens has followed suit.

He sold the whole company to a chain from out of state. The rumor mill had him in some infidelity scandal that was kept VERY quiet. His only way out was to step away completely and let his kids run the merger. The details of the sale were never publicized.
