Historic News Block in Medicine Hat, Alberta
Constructed in 1903, the News Block derives its name from originally housing the newspaper offices of the Medicine Hat News on 2nd Street in downtown Medicine Hat, Alberta. The newspaper was only here for a decade before it moved to a new building in 1914, a now demolished structure located where the current city hall stands. This 2nd Street space has recently been occupied by the new secondhand bookstore, The Page and Whisker.
I first photographed the News Block as an abandoned location back in 2013 for my hometown exploration series, Around the Hat. At the time there were still traces of the former tenant, Tramps Comics & Games, despite the News Block having already been vacant for more than a decade back in 2013. The Page and Whisker is the first business in years to not just move in, but to also bring some new character to this unique downtown space.
Here are few new images I captured of the News Block / Page and Whisker to contrast against the remnants of the former abandoned Tramps space that I was originally introduced to. Expanding on the success of my documentary short, On 2nd I'm pleased to see the story of 2nd street continuing to evolve. I wish Page and Whisker all the best in this beautiful historic location.

Ghostbusters Firehouse in New York City
I ain't 'fraid of no ghosts! Of course, with another opportunity to search out an iconic movie location, I went out of my way before Christmas to see the famed Ghostbusters Firehouse, Hook & Ladder Company 8 located at 4 N Moore Street in Tribeca, New York City.
