The image featured in this post adorns a postcard sent from Pancevo to Vienna back in 1934. At that time, today's Freedom Square (better known as Limeni Park) was called King Alexander Square, and the street was known as Vojvoda Putnik Street.

The new version of the website now features a building search filter. With data on over 1,000 buildings in our database, this option was essential. #uliceistorije #streetsofhistory #localhistory #pancevo #serbia #srbija

There's something special about seeing how places change, even over a relatively short period of time.

Remember the old McCormick’s factory? This Londoner is digging up pieces of its history
Longtime London resident Shawn Watson spent a day looking for "treasures" near the former McCormick's candy factory on Dundas Street. During his hunt, he found pieces of the city's history, including McCormick's cafeteria tokens, an 18th century button and shards of pottery.

Пре два дана сам започео израду нове верзије сајта за чување културно-историјског наслеђа Панчева. Овога пута, пројекат се шири и визија је да овај сајт буде централни сајт за више градова. Објављиваћу свој напредак овде.

City Beautiful Blog takes a look at Chelsea — one of Manhattan's most layered neighborhoods. The Oreo was invented in what is now Chelsea Market. The Hotel Chelsea sheltered Mark Twain, Bob Dylan, and Leonard Cohen. The land under London Terrace once belonged to the author of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. And the High Line transformed an abandoned freight rail line into one of the city's most celebrated parks.

New (to me) research library unlocked!

Tangential to the documents I was looking at, I came across the proposal from the 1960s to build an artificial ski slope on Mt Wellington/Maungarei!
This appears to be unknown to the internet, except for an newly digitised article on Papers Past.

"Auckland Plan To Put Ruapehu Out Of Business", Evening Post, 7 Sept 1965
