Annemarie's "Forgotten"

I love the ghost signs that can be found all around town - especially the Old Market. This corner, covered in dead overgrowth, used to be part of the original Greenberg Fruit Company building. The sign reads "Wholesale Fruit and Commission." The artist/designer in me would love to see what these buildings looked like originally.

As Robert alluded, St. Joseph is full of neglected buildings, like this. This building once housed the livestock exchange offices. Now it's falling apart. It looks like someone's trying to save the dome at the center with scaffolding to keep it together, but that's just a fraction of work needed on this relic.

Cory's Forgotten

Every day on my way to work, I ride my bike past these old railroad tracks on the western shore of Lake Union.  They were used pretty heavily in the early and mid 1900s, but today they are abandoned and forgotten.

I had a hard time finding information about what this section of track was used for when searching on the web, but as far as I can tell the spur was build in about 1911 and was used until the mid 1990s.  It was one of the spurs of the Northern Pacific Railway, which seems to have a colorful history in Seattle in the late 1800s and early 1900s.  One of the few photos I could find is from 1915, when this stretch of rail was a nice trestle just off shore of Lake Union.  Today the land has filled in and is butted right up against it, but there is still a bit of a dropoff between the ties. 

Somebody else has done more sleuthing than I have and has some more information on the tracks at http://lakeunionwatershed.com/?p=377.  I also ran across a higher view of the area from 1916.  This section of track is just out of view on the curve, very close to where the road bridge crosses the rails.

Robert's "Forgotten"

I chose to interpret "forgotten" in the sense of "neglected." This detached garage belongs to a house in Saint Joseph, MO. that (I believe) is still inhabited.

February's topic is "Forgotten"

Don't forget to take a picture for it!

I live in a house built in 1957 yet I have procrastinated til the last two hours of the month to post.

This is my grandfather's pocket watch.  He had a couple of them when he retired from the bus company, and I got one.  He didn't really leave it to me, I just said I want that.  I probably need to give one of my brothers a turn with it.

I had an old slide rule, or a couple vintage guitars, but this what I had time for.  (pun intended)

This old horse lives on one of the balconies at my apartment complex. Someone gave him a saddle blanket when the weather got colder and it makes me smile every time I walk by.

Some things that are vintage find a new life; others are forgotten.

Ryan's "Vintage"

This is the Ozark Mill at Ozark, MO on the Finley River.

Currently owned by the founder of Bass Pro Shops, the mill was originally called Hoover's Mill (as was the town of Ozark). The town was apparently founded in 1839, but I can't find any info about how old the mill is. Rumor has it the owner isn't exactly open to letting people explore the place with cameras.
