This one's from 2024. It's called "A Scene Upon the Battle Creek River."

On maps it's usually labeled "Battle Creek," but the locals call it "the Battle Creek River," so that's what I do too. On multiple occasions (two) in the 2010s and 2020s, I have twisted my ankle walking across this rocky expanse.

1986 in brown-'n'-beige metal, as viewed in 2024.

Here was the backside of 301 Michigan Ave in Battle Creek, Michigan. This was Michigan Gravure, a manufacturer of chrome-plated copper cylinders used in four-color printing.

Local property records at bsaonline.com say the building is from 1986, but it turns out 1986 is the date of an expansion and remodeling: This newspaper article from November 1986 shows a picture of the new siding, and reports that "what had been a ramshackle complex" had become "an attractive facility."

A bldg gets a splatjob from a vineblob. by Tim Kiser

A bldg gets a splatjob from a vineblob.

According to a Sanborn fire insurance map from 1918, this was a hoosiery factory, built in 1917 for the Rockford Knitting & Hosiery Co. The website Spokeo also says the building is from 1917. Now we know.

A bar was here later: A Budweiser neon sign occurs in the center window.

I hoped Google Streetview would tell us what the awning's sign used to say, but no. The vine blob developed sometime after August 2012.

A smalltown bowling alley has closed in Ohio!

It was AlleyCat Lanes, a/k/a Alley Cat Lanes.

Online, the most recent evidence I could find of the bowling alley in operation is a local news article from 2016. The building is from circa 1955. Voilà!
