As I've mentioned before, we live close to the abandoned mill town used as the setting for District 12 in the forthcoming film adaptation of The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.

I thought some of you might be interested to see the before/after photos of the old company store, which serves in the films as the bakery owned by Peeta Mellark's father. As always, click for larger images...

The original old store:

Old Store at Abandoned Mill Town


Here it is after filming. You can see the new windows and the words "PASTRIES" and "CAKES" painted on the storefront to make it the Mellark bakery:

Post-Hunger Games filming


My full set of photos from the Henry River Mill Town, a.k.a. "District 12," is here.



“Close your eyes again,” I order. He does, and his mouth, too, and completely disappears. Most of what I judge to be his body is actually under a layer of mud and plants. His face and arms are so artfully disguised as to be invisible. I kneel beside him. “I guess all those hours decorating cakes paid off.”

Peeta smiles. “Yes, frosting. The final defense of the dying.”


- from The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

What a great building! I love old buildings, especially abandoned ones. I'd love to see what it looked like inside, and then what changes the renovations bought.

I'm with you. I love old buildings! This whole abandoned mill town is incredibly atmospheric.

Oh, I'd love a peek inside, as well!

This is exactly what I saw in my head as I was reading. However, having grown up in southern mill towns I always translate everything into my environment. How exciting!

Yes, I know exactly what you mean. It fits my expectations perfectly, too. I'm really excited about the adaptation.

Yay! I'm so glad they used it - and retained so much of its original flavor/look.

My little sister would be so jealous. She wanted to be an extra on the film, since we're so close, but she's too busy with school and things. That's pretty cool, though.

I haven't read the books, but I know a lot of people who are super excited for this film.

Aw, I'm sorry she didn't get to do it. But it is amazing it's so close, isn't it? The books are really amazing. I used them in one of my university classes this past year, and the students loved them. Thus far, everything I've seen about the film suggests the adaptation will do justice to the main idea of the novels, too. I hope that's the case!

How To Start a Geoduck Business

There are [url=http://fr.pandoracharmsonsales.org]Vente de bijoux Pandor[/url] many different seafood products [url=http://www.pandorasaleireland.com]pandora beads[/url] that can be farmed under controlled circumstances rather than harvested in the wild. One of these is geoducks, pronounced gooey-ducks; these have the distinction of being the largest burrowing saltwater clams in the world.

Native to the Northwest coast of the United States, British Columbia and Alaska, geoducks can weigh as much as [url=http://www.pandoracharmsonsales.org]Pandora Outlet[/url] 3 pounds, with shells measuring 7 to [url=http://www.pandorajewelryscharms.com]Pandora Jewerly[/url] 9 inches long; the neck, also called the siphon, can grow up to 3 feet in length. The clam feeds itself by sucking plankton through this long neck.

Fish hatcheries in the area can provide you with geoduck "seeds", which are immature clams. Prepare your beach land as a growing area for your geoducks by building a framework constructed of [url=http://www.iphone5phonecovers.com]Apple iPhone 5 Accessories[/url] pieces of plastic piping in one-foot square sections. Plant no more than 4 seeds along each one-foot length of pipe by positioning them in the sand at least 6 inches deep. Now you will need to cover this area with a predator net that is secured to the beach so that it doesn't wash or blow away. Your pipe framework can be removed after 12 months, but it will take another 3 to 4 years until your geoducks [url=http://www.pandorasaleireland.com]pandora rings[/url] are ready to harvest.

Harvesting mature geoducks takes patience and strength. A good clue to finding the clam necks is when they squirt seawater. Take a shovel and a 55-gallon drum, placing the drum over the site of the exposed clam neck. Start digging, allowing the drum to sink into the hole as you are digging to prevent the hole from collapsing. Once you have dug about 3 feet down, the clam shell will be exposed and you'll be able to bring up the geoduck.

In China, the geoduck is considered a delicacy and sells for up to $30 a pound to be prepared raw as a sushi specialty or cooked in hot oil or broth like a fondue meat.

Fishing Pole Rack

If you are not sure if you need a fishing pole rack, ask yourself if this sounds familiar. It's fishing season and you get a call from your fishing buddy asking you if you want to hit the local fishing hole. You tell him yes. He tells you he will pick you up in twenty minutes.

You scramble to gather your fishing gear that has been sitting dormant all winter, your tackle and your [url=http://www.clarisonicmiareviews.ca]Clarisonic Mia Reviews[/url] fishing vest. Then you go to grab your [url=http://www.worldwatchesstore.org]Affordable Luxury Watches[/url] because that one works best at the fishing hole you are going to. You open the door to the closet and what do you find?

You find that you are going to be spending the next forty-five minutes trying to untangle your Zebco from the other four fishing poles that [url=http://www.clarisonicmiareviews.ca]Clarisonic Mia Reviews[/url] you stored with it.

Your fishing buddy arrives and instead of you being packed up and already to go, you are mumbling some choice words under your [url=http://www.pandoracharmsonsales.org]Pandora Charms Store[/url] breath while you are still fighting with the mass cluster that were once separate fishing poles. Well, atleast they were when you stored them.

Your buddy reminds you that you need to get going if you plan on hitting the fishing hole at the best time to catch them. You toss [url=http://www.iphone5phonecovers.com]Apple iPhone 5 Bluetooth Headsets[/url] the mess of poles back into the closet and tell him that you need to make a quick stop at the local department store so you can grab another rod and reel because it'll take way to long to fix the one you have.

Now you know what that means, it means you will now have ANOTHER pole that will become part of the entanglement when it comes time to store them next winter.

Does the above scenario sound familiar? Maybe not every detail, but you get the point.

Now just imagine if you owned a fishing pole rack. I mean really, think about it. Most people that target shoot or hunt often have a collection of guns right? Now if you go to their house do you see their firearms piled in the corner? Of course not.

They are either on a hanging gun rack or in a gun case. They are organized and easy to get to and are always ready for use. You should do the same thing with your fishing poles.

Let's say you have a Family of three avid fishermen/women, [url=http://www.pandorajewelryscharms.com]Pandora Jewerly[/url] and each one of you have a fishing pole for brook fishing and a fishing pole for lake fishing. If you fish both brooks and lakes, you will understand the reason for different poles. That makes a total of six fishing poles in your house at any given time. How often are they where you can just grab one and go without having to fight with an entanglement?
