Finals week is upon us, and I had my first of two today. It was calc. Wouldn't say it went perfectly, but I wouldn't say it was awful, either.  I have physics on Thursday, which shouldn't be bad at all. I can get like a 40% and keep my A. But it's also physics. I don't like it.

I'm also planning on walking home Friday. It's about 30 miles, which should be fun.

 It should be an easy guess what two stores we'll feature today, but as usual we've got some stuff to go through before we get there. Let's get started! Colonial Theater, Phoenixville, PA If there's one building in Phoenixville you might recognize from something other than my photos, it would be this one. And that would mean you've seen 1958's The Blob . It opened as a playhouse in 1903, and switched to film in 1928. Occasionally a new movie makes it in here, but for the most part they show classics and have concerts here now. Rec Room, Phoenixville, PA Across the street from the theater, in what I am almost certain was an old 5-and-dime (From the 80's until a couple years ago it was a variety store), Conshohocken Brewing has opened up the Rec Room. It's about what you would expect, primarily restaurant/bar space, but with a few shuffleboard and ping-pong tables in back. Rapps Dam Bridge, Phoenixville, PA This old covered bridge was originally built in 1...

A lot of my posts lately have been outside looks at stores, but today I'll make it up to you. Like 75% of what I'm covering this post are store interiors. Without further ado, let's get started! Malvern Federal, Exton, PA Here's one of the more interesting bank buildings in the area. Its early history is a little complicated but I can tell you what stands today dates back at least to 1810 and was originally a farmhouse. The 1810 portion, made of stone, was added onto a log house constructed in 1771. This part may still be here, but nothing standing today obviously jumps out as a log structure so if it does still stand, it has been covered in stucco. It maintained its original use for close to 200 years, before Malvern Federal Savings bank bought the structure in 1964 and converted it to a bank. That lasted over fifty years, but then rumors began swirling that something bad was going to happen. Malvern sold the building to PREIT, who then announced plans to demolish the...

A Former Genuardi's, Clemens, and an ACME

 RadioShack, Paoli, PA This location closed down with the chain in mid-2017 after an incredibly long closing sale. It sat vacant for a little while, but recently reopened as an F45 Fitness.  Abandoned Garage, Spring City, PA This place has been empty as long as I can remember. A few years ago, the side wall of the office portion collapsed and the property was fenced off. Strangely, they patched the collapsed wall with more cinderblock but didn't mortar any of it together. It's just a stack of blocks.  White Hall Inn, Spring City, PA The long-abandoned White Hall Inn was restored when a veteran's assisted living community was built on the property. I'd say they did a nice job although I am a little irritated this happened before I could get some better abandoned pictures of it.  Gulf, Spring City, PA The former Gulf station, which operated for the last 30 years or so as an exterminator's office, has returned to automotive use. It's now a repair sho...
