# Arlington Apartments (Edmonton)

The Arlington Apartments or The Arlington was the first apartment building to open in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, in 1909. The 49 suite, five-storey redbrick building stood at 100 Avenue and 106 Street until 2005 when it was destroyed by fire. The building was a prime example of Edmonton's pre-Great War building boom that managed to survive into the 21st century.
The building was financed by a consortium of local business leaders who formed the Arlington Apartment Company. Among the original owners were George Swaisland, an Ontario-born banker who managed the Molson's Bank in Edmonton and Patrick O. Dwyer, president of Northern Investment Agency Limited.
Building construction was supervised by Robert Grant of Winnipeg; it was erected between July and December 1909 at a cost of $130,000.
The building was purchased by the Northern Investment Agency in 1932 for $85,000. In 1943 G. Patrick Ryan purchased it and founded Arlington Apartment Limited.
The building was a popular home for professionals and artists until the 1970s. By the 1980s residents were complaining of problems with prostitution. A fire in 1990 damaged but did not threaten the building.
The building was designated a Provincial Historic Resource in 1995, and a Municipal Historic Resource in 1998.
After the 2005 fire, there was an acrimonious confrontation between Edmonton's city government and the owner of the site, Saraswati P. Singh. The City demanded that the original facade (including the original bricks) be maintained during any reconstruction. In 2007, Singh agreed to incorporate three brick walls of the building into a 20-storey condominium project. In 2008, however, the site's architect said that that plan was no longer feasible, and asked for permission to demolish the ruins and reconstruct the facade with new bricks.
In September 2008, the City finally give the owners permission to tear down the building. In mid-November demolition began.

# Barnby Dun railway station

Barnby Dun railway station was a small station on the South Yorkshire Railway's line between Doncaster and Thorne. It served the village of Barnby Dun, near Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England. The original line followed closely the canal bank and the station was resited when the line was 'straightened' in the 1860s.
The original station, which was situated across the canal from the village, was opened with the line on 1 July 1856 and closed on 1 October 1866 when the new station, at the opposite side of the village was opened.
The rebuilt station consisted of flanking platforms with its main buildings, in yellow engineers brick, on the Thorne-bound (up) platform. This platform was long, with a ramp to a barrow crossing to the 'down' side at its centre. The station was again rebuilt to accommodate four tracks in the Doncaster to Thorne widening of 1913 when the Doncaster-bound (down) platform was moved back. The station closed on 4 September 1967. The station building was demolished in July 2008.

# Carlton Hotel, Beirut

The Carlton Hotel was a luxury hotel in Beirut, Lebanon.
The Carlton was built in 1955 on Avenue General de Gaulle, the southern part of the Corniche Beirut, offering 140 rooms with uninterrupted view to the Mediterranean, but it was demolished in 2008, causing a lot of criticism and triggering a renewed consciousness about the need to preserve modern heritage.
The Carlton Hotel was designed by Karol Schayer, a Polish architect who came to Beirut during the Second World War and Lebanese architects Makdisi, Shayer, and Adib. It quickly attracted a cosmopolitan clientele, and its swimming pool and gardens overlooking the Corniche compensated from its distance from the shoreline.
The hotel was not only a popular tourist resort and one of the symbols of the hedonistic pre-war years, but it was also a popular destination for the LGBTQ community in Beirut.
During the Lebanese Civil War, Riad Taha, who was the president of the Syndicate of Publishers Union and at the time, trying to forge an anti-PLO front in Beirut, was murdered by the PLO outside the hotel.
Because it was not looted like the Parliament, the St. Georges, or the Phoenicia were, or burnt like the Grand Serail was, the Carlton was chosen as the venue for the presidential election when on May 8, 1976, Élias Sarkis became president.

# C U When U Get There

"C U When U Get There" is a song by American rapper Coolio featuring 40 Thevz. It was released in June 1997 as the first single from Coolio's third studio album, My Soul (1997). The track was also featured on the soundtrack to the 1997 comedy film Nothing to Lose. It heavily interpolates Johann Pachelbel's Baroque "Canon in D Major."
Released on June 17, 1997, the single peaked at number 12 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and number seven on the Billboard Hot Rap Tracks chart; it was Coolio's last top-40 hit in the US. It was also an international success, reaching the top 10 in Australia, New Zealand, and several European countries. The first live performance of this song was before its actual release during the free concert at Paramount Canada's Wonderland put on by MuchMusic's Electric Circus in August 1997.

## Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard called "C U When U Get There" an "inspiring hip-hop anthem". He added, "The song's "keep pushin' on" message is direct and delivered in street-savvy language that will connect with its desired youth audience. The strong verses give way to a choir-belted chorus that adds a proper splash of emotional intensity. Factor in the track's easy-paced electro beat and a rush of stately strings, and you have the makings of a massive hit." Scottish newspaper Daily Record described it as a "superb R&B ballad".
A reviewer from Music Week rated it four out of five, noting that "Coolio goes all laid-back on this comforting, torch-like song which comes complete with an uplifting, harmony chorus." The magazine's Alan Jones commented, "Those who thought Coolio's massive hit Gangsta's Paradise was a one-off should think again: his latest single C U When U Get There is an absolute smash. Lifted from the hip-hop heavy soundtrack to the movie Nothing To Lose, it weaves a strong rap into a tapestry that also comprises Pachelbel's Canon and a sweetly singing gospel ensemble. The end result is magic and a substantial hit."

# Panorama Resort

Panorama Resort was one of the early resorts that lined what is now Skyline Drive in the Shenandoah National Park (SNP) in the United States, located at Thornton Gap. Like Skyland Resort and Little Switzerland, it was one of many private mountain resorts with nature themes that predated Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Once one of Virginia’s best-known resorts, Panorama most recently operated as a restaurant destination in the Shenandoah National Park and was run by Aramark Parks and Resorts, the commercial vendor inside SNP that operated sister resorts Big Meadows and Skyland Resort. It was demolished in 2008.

## History

Panorama opened July 20, 1924 and sat at the intersection of Skyline Drive and Route 211 between Sperryville, Virginia and Luray, Virginia. Bridging Virginia's Hunt Country and the Shenandoah Valley, it sat at the border of Page County and Rappahannock County along the top ridge line of the Blue Ridge. In its early days, it had a tea room, hotel, cottages, bungalow and golf.
Throughout the 20th century, Panorama was one of the best-known man-made attractions on the road, which included Rapidan Camp, built as a Presidential retreat within a reasonable traveling distance of the White House in Washington, DC for Herbert Hoover, and the resorts at Skyland and Big Meadows. Panorama had a rustic look in its early years and was known for its bear shows, though one went awry and sparked a lawsuit. It was privately owned, but taken by eminent domain at the establishment of the park. The resort was bulldozed for a replacement Panorama in 1958.
In the 1990s, the restaurant struggled due to the collapse in visitors to the park. Aramark turned the building over to SNP when it could no longer make it work. It became a stop-off point for hikes. The National Park Service had hoped to reopen the building as a museum honoring the Civilian Conservation Corps. However, in July 2006, Shenandoah Superintendent Chas Cartwright announced that Panorama would be demolished, as costs had risen more than the park could afford. In May 2008, he announced the imminent destruction of the restaurant/giftshop building and construction of a restroom on the site.
# Southwark Towers

Southwark Towers was a high rise building at 32 London Bridge Street, designed by TP Bennett architects, overlooking London Bridge station, in Southwark, London. When it was demolished in 2008 to make way for The Shard, it was jointly the tallest building ever to have been demolished in the United Kingdom, alongside the Drapers' Gardens tower.

## History

Completed in 1975, it was 100 metres (330 ft) tall and had 25 floors in three wings. Southwark Towers was formerly the London office of Price Waterhouse before it merged with Coopers & Lybrand in 1998. The property attracted some political interest in the 1970s when the developer, Peachey Property Corporation ('PPC'), got into financial difficulties. It was subsequently alleged that the transaction to develop the property might not have been entered into on an arm's length basis and that there might have been an element of bounty or kindness from PPC to Price Waterhouse, who happened to be PPC's auditors. Department of Trade inspectors dismissed the allegations. In 1998 the building was acquired by Irvine Sellar, a property developer.
In 2008, the building was demolished to make way for The Shard. The typical way to demolish a building in the United Kingdom is by implosion, but due to its close proximity to Guy's Hospital and other buildings, Southwark Towers was instead taken apart in pieces. It was the tallest building ever to have been demolished in the United Kingdom.
# Blackpool Mecca

The Blackpool Mecca was a large entertainment venue on Central Drive in the seaside town of Blackpool, Lancashire, in North West England, first opened in 1965. In the 1970s, it was particularly known for The Highland Room, which was a major Northern Soul music venue. From 1977 onwards it was also host to the Commonwealth Sporting Club. The building was closed down in 1980s and was finally demolished in January 2009 to make way for new campus buildings of Blackpool and The Fylde College. However, following an issue with funding B&FC withdrew and as of 2013 the site is planned for residential development.

## Northern soul at The Highland Room

The Highland Room was used as a soul venue from 1967 to 1979 and it became one of the most popular venues on the Northern soul scene. Unlike similar clubs such as the Wigan Casino and the Golden Torch, these events were not "all-nighters" and ran from 8 pm until 2 am on Saturday evenings.
The two main DJs for the Highland Room soul nights were Ian Levine and Colin Curtis. Several classic 1960s Northern soul records were discovered and "broken" by the aforementioned DJs at the venue, including Tony Clarke's "Landslide", Morris Chesnut's "Too Darn Soulful", Frankie Beverly & the Butlers' "If That's What You Wanted" and R. Dean Taylor's "There's a Ghost in My House".
Later in the 1970s, the Highland Room became synonymous with a more contemporary and less frenetic style of Northern soul music, typified by records such as The Carstairs' "It Really Hurts Me Girl", Voices of East Harlem's "Cashin' In" and the Charisma Band's "Ain't Nothing Like Your Love". Because of the change in tempo, a slightly different shuffling dance style developed at the venue. This newer sound and dance style caused some controversy and led to the formation of the parallel Modern soul subgenre, which still exists today within and alongside the mainstream Northern soul movement.

### Discography

The Northern soul music of the Highland Room has been commemorated by several compilation LPs and CDs, including:
* Mecca Magic: the Soulful Sounds of Blackpool's Mecca 1973–1979 (LP, Kent Records 1990)
* The Blackpool Mecca Story (CD, Goldmine 1999)

## Commonwealth Sporting Club

In 1977 the Commonwealth Sporting Club was opened at the Mecca. It included a 25-table snooker area and boxing, squash, badminton and gym facilities. Joe Davis performed the opening ceremony, and Steve Davis described it as the "best club in the country of its time". In 1989 the club was closed and replaced by a bowling alley.

# MacArthur Park Beach Resort

The MacArthur Park Beach Resort was a resort hotel in the town of Palo in Leyte, Philippines. It was built by then-First Lady Imelda Marcos, the wife of president Ferdinand Marcos, although the hotel was run privately. It was seized by the Philippine government in 1986 and later demolished in 2009 to make way for a new hotel, The Oriental Leyte which opened in 2012.

## History

The MacArthur Park Beach Resort was built in 1983, by then-First Lady Imelda Marcos. Although the hotel was built during the presidency of Ferdinand Marcos, the hotel was not formally managed under a government body and was instead ran by a private firm known as the Island Corporation.
The hotel was sequestered by the succeeding Philippine government after the People Power Revolution of 1985 resulted the overthrow of President Marcos. In 1994, the hotel was placed under the management of the Philippine Tourism Authority (PTA).
On October 2, 2008, then-President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo issued Executive Order 756 which began the process of transferring the hotel's management to the provincial government of Leyte. The move was in response to a request of then-Leyte governor Jericho Petilla The Leyte provincial government took over the hotel in January 2009.
The Leyte government leased the associated property to the LKY Resorts and Hotel under a 25-year build, operate and transfer lease agreement in the same year.

# The New 7th Storey Hotel

The New 7th Storey Hotel was a demolished budget hotel once located on Rochor Road in the Downtown Core of Singapore.

## History

The New 7th Storey Hotel was established in 1953. The founder of the hotel, Wee Thiam Siew, spotted the potential for a hotel business on its current site in the early 1950s. Wee also owned the Ban Leong Group. At that time, there was an influx of immigrants and European businessmen.
The then five-star hotel did well and became prominent. It was the tallest standing structure in the Beach Road area, and offered panoramic views of the beach. It was commonly used as a landmark by drivers to locate the lower Rochor vicinity. With the advent of land reclamation in the 1970s and 1980s, the seascapes gave way to flyovers. Following urbanisation directives, shophouses, a Chinese temple and pasar malam markets in the hotel's immediate surroundings were also pulled down. In the 1990s, the development of the high-rise skyscrapers in Marina Centre such as the Suntec City obscured the sea view that the hotel once enjoyed.
In the 1950s and 1960s, the building's top floor was the site of cha cha parties thrown by post-war British officers and graced by Singapore's veteran singer S. K. Poon. After Singapore's independence in 1965, most of the hotel's guests were traders from India and Indonesia. Since the Asian economic crisis of 1997, fewer traders have been putting themselves up at the hotel's rooms. Most guests now are backpackers from Europe and North America.
Wee and his family ran the business for about a decade before it went into other hands. In 1995 the Wee family took back ownership of the hotel and it was run by the third generation of the Wee family until the end of 2008. The hotel continued to be popular due to its proximity to shopping belts like Bugis Street and Orchard Road, and historical landmarks such as the national monuments located in the nearby Museum Planning Area.

## Facilities and features

Despite its name, The New 7th Storey Hotel was actually nine storeys high. It had 38 rooms catering to backpackers and the independent travellers. Facilities included a restaurant named 7th Storey Hainan Kitchen Charcoal Steamboat, self-service laundry services, Internet stations and a beer garden.
The hotel's history was reflected through its architecture and furniture, many of which were relics still in use till demolition. Distinctive features included a manually operated lift and its exterior spiral staircase.

## Demolition

It was announced on 26 June 2008 that the hotel will be demolished to make way for the new Bugis MRT station for the Downtown MRT line. The hotel's owner and occupants had to move out of the premises by the end of December 2008. The hotel was demolished in 2009.
