Hiking at Arizona's Picacho Peak State Park

Picacho Peak: Magical Desert Crag
Almost every Arizonan has driven by the rocky crags of Picacho Peak along Interstate 10 between Phoenix and Tucson. Some pass it without notice. Others glance over in awe as it towers above the parched desert valleys. Those truly inspired by its beauty will exit the highway and enter into a little patch of desert called Picacho Peak State Park. Some park an RV in its campground and enjoy the views of jagged ridgelines and saguaro cactus. Trailheads fill with cars as hikers take to the network of trails in search of colorful wildflowers and endless vistas. Those with a thirst for adventure set their sights on the Picacho Peak summit, elevation 3,370 feet.
Hunter Trail: Gateway to the Summit
Early morning from the saddle along Picacho Peak's Hunter Trail.
Perhaps the most popular trail at Picacho Peak, the Hunter Trail gives the shortest route to the top. The signs will say 2 miles, but they lie. It's short but very steep 1.5 miles to the summit, and then back the way you came up. I ventured up this steep, rugged path on a pre-dawn on a late March morning. There was one other car in the parking lot, but I saw no one on my ascent. It was a glorious morning with perfect 50 degree weather. As I climbed, I knew this standard trail would give way to a network of steep rocky inclines with the aid of cables.
I stopped in my tracks as the morning sun crested the eastern horizon and illuminated the towering cliffs in warm light. My photographs do no justice to the beauty I saw with my own eyes. As I continued the hike, I came across cables that were simply guardrails on section of trail where it was absolutely unnecessary. "How silly!" I thought.
Within the hour I made it to a saddle between the summit and a high point on the ridge to the north. The view across the valley to Newman Peak was awe inspiring. I enjoyed the vista for a moment or two, and then pushed onward. The east face of Picacho Peak towered as a near vertical cliff above me, and the trail descended into a traverse across the south side of the mountain.
Cables aid hikers in navigating a 45 degree slope. To the left, out of frame, is a noticeable drop off.
I soon discovered the infamous cable network of Picacho. For an experienced adventurer that has scrambled on bare rock, these cables are a convenience, not a necessity. For the average hiker with an understandable fear of heights, the cables must be a God send. I descended the first set of cable-lined rock with a wry grin, snapping a few photos along the way. Soon the trail returns back into an ordinary, simple dusty trail leads up and down the rocky hillside.
Without fail, the trail makes another break for the top, unleashing another string of cable-fed ascents. Most are not too exposed, but where the rocks begin to cliff-up, the trail is fitted with wire-fences to prevent a slip during into a bone-crunching, life-threatening fall. Once the the final rock-and-cable climb is completed, the trail snakes its way up to a steep slope for a couple hundred feet until it attains the flat, rocky summit of Picacho Peak.
Another set of cables leading up an eroded crack. I thought it was easier to cross using the rock for holds.
The views are classic. Desert valleys stretch for miles in all directions, interrupted in the distance by the long ridges of neighboring mountains. Cars speed by on Interstate 10 below, looking like box shaped ants rolling along the desert floor.
To the north is Newman Peak, of the Picacho Mountains. Tens of millions of years ago, Picacho Peak and Newman Peak were connected by a continuous ridge of mountain tops. Over the course of eons, the action of pounding desert rain and unrelenting gravity has eroded the range in two, creating valley and a void between Picacho Peak and its siblings.
To the southeast, the Santa Catalina Mountains appear as a magic kingdom in the distance. Picacho feels tall, yet the top of the Catalinas, Mount Lemmon, towers another 7,000 vertical feet above Picacho's 3,000 foot crest. Contemplating the harsh Sonoran Desert from atop Picacho, one cannot help but look to the Catalinas and dream of its crown of cool pine forests.
Dramatic views of the Picacho Mountains from the Picacho Peak Summit.
On the descent, back down the maze of rock and cables, I encountered other hikers, and much more frequently as I moved. I met a nice couple from south Phoenix and exchanged suggestions for good hikes back in the city. Another friendly man greeted me as I ascended a cable-lined embankment, laughing in a self-deprecating manner as he kept a white-knuckle grip on the cable. Descending the east slopes, the sun was starting to warm the rock and the air into 70 degree weather, which made the ascending hikers look hot and sweaty. I was glad I had chosen an early start.
I should divulge the fact that I took a fall on this hike. But not on the rock faces and cables, I was super careful up there. Not too far from the trailhead, on a normal part of the trail, a rock step gave way and slipped right onto my butt. And then scraped my back on a rock. I was no worse for the wear, but somehow I also bent a car-key in my pocket in the process. The key that belonged to the car I was driving of course. The key wouldn't start the car, so I had to walk four extra miles round trip to our campsite and retrieve the extra set from my wife.
I guess that's just a little reminder that in every situation, even a simple step, care should be taken to avoid mistakes. I had a great time hiking Picacho Peak, but that extra walk in the desert sun, well, I think I would've preferred to do without that.
Sunset Vista Trail: A Beautiful Walk

The evening before I climbed Picacho, my wife and I took our dogs for a little hike on the Sunset Vista Trail. The trail itself starts at the southwest end of the mountain and traverses Picacho's southern slopes before climbing the hillsides to connect with the Hunter Trail after 2.5 miles. We went out late in the day, so we only hiked out about a half mile, just over the top of the first little ridge into a little valley on the other side.
We were treated to views of a "saguaro forest" to the west, with the sun setting over the mountains in the distance. The scenery was enjoyed both by us and our cameras! I would highly recommend this trail to anyone. You could turn it into a tough hike to the top if desired, but just about anyone could walk the half mile in and enjoy some classic desert views.

With news on: Morrisons trials paper grocery bags; Westminster team tackles fly-tipping; Waitrose launches plastics initiative; Welsh projects benefit from landfill community scheme; Bakers targets expansion.
Morrisons is to give customers the option of using large paper carrier bags in eight of its stores from this week. According to the retailer, the trial is a response to customers who have told Morrisons reducing plastic is their "number one environmental concern".
The new 'US-style' paper grocery bags have handles and are a similar capacity to standard plastic carrier bags. Priced at 20p each the paper grocery bags, which can be reused and ultimately recycled, are labelled 'Reusable Paper Bag'.
As part of the trial, Morrisons is also increasing the price of standard plastic carrier bags from 10p to 15p to further reduce plastic use.
This trial follows Morrisons' removal of the 5p carrier bags early in 2018 which it says led to 25% reduction in overall bag sales. This 15p standard plastic carrier bag is produced in the UK and is made from recycled material reclaimed from Morrisons stores.
A group of trained 'SWAT' officers have been deployed to Bayswater by Westminster city council to tackle fly-tipping.
The Street Waste Action Team (SWAT) was assembled last year as part of a twelve-month pilot undertaken by the council's waste partner Veolia. The project aims to reduce fly-tipping and waste dumping in Westminster's worst affected wards.
Westminster council's cabinet member for environment and city management, Cllr Tim Mitchell, said: "We know our residents in some wards have concerns about rubbish dumping, particularly around shared bin areas, which is why we formed the The Street Waste Action Team (SWAT). The pilot was an overwhelming success last year and reduced the problem substantially within the five pilot wards.
Over six weeks the team will visit properties to talk to residents about how to dispose of their waste and recycling correctly. The SWAT team will continue to be deployed by the Council in wards across Westminster throughout the year on a case-by-case basis.
Waitrose & Partners has launched a £1 million grant fund to give money to projects designed to reduce 'unnecessary' plastic and tackle plastic pollution.
Plan Plastic – The Million Pound Challenge will award money, over one year, to projects that can demonstrate an impact on plastic pollution now and in the future. The retailer is partnering with environmental charity Hubbub to support the chosen projects and measure the impact of the grants.
According to Waitrose, the £1 million fund has been raised from the sale of 5p carrier bags and grants will range from £150,000 to £300,000.
Applications for Plan Plastic are open until 24 February and will be welcomed from a range of organisations including charities, academic bodies, social enterprises, and schools & colleges.
Local green space improvements, an outdoor children's education area and conservation programmes to save endangered species are some of the projects set to benefit from more than £1 million through the Welsh Government's Landfill Disposal Tax Community Scheme.
Applications for a second round of funding have recently closed. However, two rounds of funding will take place in each year the scheme operates.
Leicester-based Bakers Waste Services and its sister business Driving Talent Limited have secured a multimillion-pound finance package from HSBC UK to support the continued expansion of both businesses.
The commercial waste management business, which specialises in waste removal, recycling, shredding and skip-hire, will use the HSBC UK finance to support 'further growth and development'.
The funding will enable Bakers Waste to increase capacity and expand its customer-base, HSBC said. In addition, the business will seek to grow its paper, glass and card recycling offering as demand increases for reduction of waste going to landfill.
The package provides long-term support with facilities in place to fund the business's plans for growth over the next five years.
Paul Baker, managing director of Bakers Waste Services, explained: "With the UK's increasing focus on sustainability, we're seeing a rise in demand for recycling services – and we're perfectly placed to meet this need.
The funding provided by HSBC UK will also support the expansion of Driving Talent, a separate business created by Mr Baker in 2017. Driving Talent offers Business Support Solutions including Recruitment and Training, offering all aspects of LGV Driver Training and other associated commercial training such as Forklift, Hiab and wide range of other courses.

And now he's mad.(Forcewave)
by Shadowoof on April 29th 2015, 12:09 pm
Today had been a simple day for Marcus. It was just a long walk then eating and more walking, making the city of Chicago almost quiet and peaceful. But other then that, Marcus had his eye on this one place where an apparent mind reader lived and gave sessions for a fee. Marcus knew that their was a fifty-fifty this guy or gal was an actual reader of minds so he had decided he would go at some point and with the city as quiet as it was, seemed the time was now. His legs carried him to the small building with the sign psychic readings out front, a couple walked out before he reached the door, talking about her she knew what they were thinking. Seemed she was legit, so far of course. Entering, the place didn't look like it normally did in movies he had seen which sort of made Marcus disappointed in what he thought he would see, bats and glass balls all over the place and darker shades of curtains and such but non of that. Guess that only improved the woman's chances of being a telepathic meta.
"Your mind is.. troubled." The female voice came from a room across where Marcus stood and quietly he went over and opened the door. "Your mind is very.. strong. I can barely enter and what I can see is only."
"Darkness." Marcus finished her sentence as he stood across the table she sat at. Her eyes were pure white, yet she stared right where Marcus stood. Like she could see him.
"You wish for me to see what lies behind?" Her words spoke Marcus's thoughts, yet he felt this was only a guess, then again. He didn't know what was blocked in his mind and what wasn't. He hadn't really thought of what he had to do to stop Dark from making any headway.
"Why not. It would be an adventure." Marcus tried to reassure himself, not knowing what could happen if she broke though the mental wall he had placed it seems to stop Dark. To himself or her but as he said, it would be an adventure.
"Then please sit." As Marcus sat on the chair, she stood and moved towards him, her thumb touched his forehead and she placed the other one at her own forehead. Marcus didn't know what would happen from here until he felt something. A stinging pain that stretched from his head to the rest of his body in a matter of seconds. "Something Evil resides in you."
After those words she backed away, a look of horror filled her face. "Would have been me darling. I thank you for what you've done." Darks demonic voice rang about as Marcus sat their with a emotionless expression on his face. His mind being broken and torn and sewn back together all at once by the demon. He had a chance to try and take control, he did but the demon wanted to see his host broken and gone from reality. Plagued and tortured for all the years he kept him locked away. And all Marcus saw was horror, his memory's flashed about and pain surged though him, his mind summoning hellfire as to purge the pain with fire but all that came were the screams of the woman and crackle of fire as the building lit like a torch. Now. This is the beginning of a wonderful creation. The shadow of a shadow or maybe we should call you shade now. If that's what I brought you down too. The demon was delighted with what he had done and it was time to release this shade into the open world.
Shadow walked out the building as people converged to look at it. Flames that burnt hotter then normal had melted even the ground that the building was built near. He looked up to see copy's of himself all converging on him, evil glints in their eyes. Shadow thought to protect himself and summoned more fire to burn them away. The screams of men,woman and children didn't reach the broken mans ears. Only the laughs of the Darkness. "Burn... Burn.. Burn."
The characters that my mind decided up because of various reasons easily gotten to for all of you people who like being lazy.
Characters of the wolf:
Clair Kiel the magic girl
Bell Conners or Weregirl
Aideen Sunfire the Speedster demon(Npc)
Ashford or the man in the coat
Jake Or Zaap or Angelboy
Angel boys Mother(NPC)
Mastema
Euna the hungry Arcadian.

"So, there's a fortune teller in town that may actually be able to read minds and see the future." John said as he looked away from the computer screen. "I'm not sure what the big deal is."
"You're not sure how someone possibly capable of actually seeing the future is a big deal? What?" Alisa asked sounding she was about to laugh hysterically.
"Girl, calm down. You've had too much sugar today." Patricia said looking at her friend with some concern.
"I know I know, whatever. I promise I'll cut back from now on. Anyways, go on John. Tell me why it's not a big deal." Alisa said trying to sound calm.
"Because we live in a world full of superhumans and other things, duh." he said trying not to sound like he was ridiculing her. "A fortune teller just doesn't seem very impressive."
"He's got a point." Kyle said as he was helping himself to a bag of chips.
"Hey, I didn't say you could have those. Those are mine." Patricia yelled as she got out of her seat and ran at Kyle to grab the bag of chips from him. Kyle was refusing to let go of the bag though. "Joshua, help me over here." she called out and Joshua ran over to help her try and wrestle the bag out of his hands.
Alisa was laughing at the sight of this as John went back to reading through stuff on the computer. "Hey, you should go. It's not that far from your place. Think you can keep your little secrets from her" Alisa said through stifled laughter.
"I'll think about it." he said as he tabbed away from this little story of a fortune teller.
"I have an idea." Patricia said after having finally gotten the bag of chips back. "John you should go and let the rest of us listen in on it. We can all give you advice on how to answer whatever questions get asked."
"So we're going to pull one over on the fortune teller?" Joshua said as Kyle passed by them and sat down looking a bit ruffled.
"Oh, I can work with that." John said now actually interested in this whole thing. "I'll go tomorrow then."
(The next day)
John was on his over to the address of this supposed mind reading fortune teller. He had his phone on and hidden under his clothes and an earpiece hidden behind his left ear so that he could hear whatever his friends said to him over the line. His superhero costume was on under his clothes to hold the phone in place since they were the best thing he had equipped for this. Oh this was going to be fun.
"Hey, reporting in. I'm almost there. It's just around the corner." he spoke into the phone and awaited responses.
"Alright. Good luck." Kyle said as he heard murmuring from the other end, but didn't know who it was.
John turned the corner to see smoke rising from a building. The same building that housed this fortune teller. "Guys, the building is on fire."
"What? Are you sure?" Alisa said sounding concerned.
"Yeah, and somebody's walking out of it and attacking people." John reported in instantly figuring out what was going on. "I got to hang up so I can call the police." he said before ending the call. He knew at least one, if not all of them would call the cops so instead he took cover and changed into his costume.
Forcewave was there quickly after getting into costume, and summoned forth a large amount of psionic electricity that formed a barrier to block the fiery attacks from hurting anyone else, and allowing all of them to get away. He then looked directly at the person responsible for what was going on. Nobody he recognized, but that didn't matter to him. "You're going to stop this, now." he said to this person, not expecting them to actually stop though. No, Forcewave was expecting this to be a fight, and he was ready for whatever came his way.

Shadow held still as emotions came back, fragmented and broken memorys took place abd even hid subconsious had already built a mental defense for the demon. You won't hide forever from me Human. I'll find and rid of you for we are both cellmates now. The demon said coldly and followed by a dark laugh only Shadow could hear, the voices in his head. The pain but then, there was another voice, Shadow's head turning to see some sort of custumed man. Why was he in a custume. Why were the voices there.
Shadow took a few steps back in fear from what the man could possibly do. Did he have a weapon? he didn't know. "Look. I don't mean... any trouble... can you hear? the voices." Shadow asked as he looked around, why was it so bright and hot. Pain came with this heat but then subsided just as quickly. His hands rose and with it the flames followed and the confused human waved his arms to rid of the fire only for it to spread about more, some hitting.. something.
Ohh. The poor thing is scared. Shadow looked around for the voice, it sounded like it was coming from inside him but that was impossible. Nothing could live inside whatever he was. It just didn't feel right. Heh. You think what you want to think. I'll just sit and watch as your burn away. Dark finished with a sinister laugh that he made hearable to any who was close. Time to watch the human burn indeed.
by Forceaus on April 30th 2015, 5:53 pm
Alright, so what was the point of what this guy was doing? What, did he not like the fortune he was given. That's no excuse to burn the place down and go on a rampage. Seriously now, this person has issues. Serious issues that he was trying to resolve in all the wrong ways. Because of that, Forcewave was going to have to fight this guy and beat him. Then something else would happen, presumably. He'll worry about that later.
Forcewave listened to what this guy was saying, and what he was saying made little to no sense. He means no harm, yet he just burnt a building down and had been clearly attacking people all while laughing like a maniac. "You don't mean any harm? Then what do you call all of this?" he asked indicating the burning house and fires around them. Yeah, he clearly didn't mean any harm. This guy was definitely mad. His talk of supposed voices kind of confirmed it.
More flames appeared and the fire began to spread. Okay, so he could control the fire. That's one power Forcewave now knew this guy had, and had to watch out for. Not feeling like finding out what else this crazy guy could do, Forcewave fired a beam of concentrated lightning directly at him.
Whatever result came from that attack was something he would take care of momentarily. There was also the matter of the flames. He was keeping them contained as of now, but wasn't entirely sure how to put them out. Right now he was kind of wishing he had a fire extinguisher on him, though that might not be good enough. Yeah, containment was probably the best option for the time being. The police and fire department were probably on their way anyways. He could just keep this under control in the meantime.

Shadow kept looking about at the flames. They were elegant and alive yet they destroyed everything they touched and for no reason but to survive yet these flames didn't go out. Yes they seem to be your flames as I never had any control of the flames of hell. It was very interesting. Their the voice was again, it was everywhere now, beside him, behind him, inside of him and the pain never stopped. He turned to face the man that had said something about what was happening but then he felt a force push him to the ground a few meters from where he was standing.
At first Shadow couldn't find a reason for what happened but he also couldn't move and soon he felt unbearable pain in his chest. Feeling his hand, he moved it to where the pain seemed to originate and only felt the burn of seared flesh which caused Shadow to scream out in pain, a pulse of flame emitting from his body and going in all directions while burning him even more. But soon he felt something move whiten in him, something cold and numbing of the pain and Shadow sat up to see a shadow like substance had covered most of his body, some disappearing and leaving his skin normal yet the pain could still be felt, only less. "Why did you hurt me. What is all this. Who are you?" Shadow called and asked to both the man and the voice he could hear.
I am the darkness and right now your only friend. This man just tried to kill you but I was able to heal you. You should hurt the man back for what he did to us. Dark said to the broken Shadow before backing away to let the human think. In turn Shadow stood up and thought for a moment. How the man had tried to kill him for no reason and how he had to be hurt.
"He hurt us, now we hurt him. Burn.. Burn." Was all Shadow said while he looked at the flames and thought of how to use them, how to use his flames.

Forcewave could tell from here that this crazy and most likely, psychotic person was trying to expand the reach of the flames that they had produced and used to burn down the building that had belonged to a fortune teller and attack people that just happened to be in the area. He could go ahead and try to make this fire spread, but Forcewave wasn't going to allow them to go anywhere. No more devastation was going to be allowed, at all. He was going to keep these flames contained until they could be put out. He just wished a means of doing so would come soon. Hopefully the fire department doesn't take too long.
While waiting for the firemen to show up, Forcewave would keep the flames contained and attempt to deal with the one responsible for making them. He fired a blast of electrical energy at him to subdue him and stop his attempted spread of flames. The blast hit him square in the chest and knocked him to the ground. Well, that seemed to have worked. Normally it wasn't that easy. It usually takes two attacks, or some manner of trickery, but not in this case. Here it only took one shot and the crazy guy was down. If only that would be how things would turn out today. Things just weren't allowed to be easy. For some flames would kind of crawl over the guy along with a strange shadow of sorts. Okay, so he does have other powers besides controlling fire. Something involving shadows and darkness, and it looked like he can recover really fast. Oh, this should be fun.
The fire controller sat up and was still talking like he was mad. He asked Forcewave why he had hurt him and who he was. Forcewave paused to consider his reply as he prepared to attack again or defend himself just in case that guy tried something. His response was relatively curt. "To stop you from hurting anyone else. I'm a superhero. It's what I do."
After answering the misplaced questions that were asked of him, Forcewave saw the crazy fire manipulator get back to his feet and start raving about burning Forcewave for attacking him. One of those types it seems. Enjoys hurting others, but gets upset when someone retaliates. "Sorry, but you have left me no choice but to hurt you. If you don't want me to hurt you again, then get rid of all this fire. There's no need for any of this." Forcewave told him, giving him the chance to surrender peacefully. Let's see if he takes it or tries to continue this destructive spree.
by Shadowoof on May 4th 2015, 6:24 pm
Shadow looked around in response to the 'hero's' words about him hurting people and indeed, charred corpses could be seen all about and with his ability to control fire, he could only guess. He lies, his power burnt them. He just uses you to blame. Darks voice sounded so assuring for a demon. The human didn't understand much but felt like he knew the word superhero. Something like a memory.
"Hero? I don't know what a hero is, I don't remember burning these...people. And the flames.. Hellfire. I don't know how to rid of it. But you, you burnt me. Maybe you brunt them like he said." Marcus thought for a bit, lifting his hand to watch as the flames followed suit and aimed it at the 'hero.' "maybe they disappear when used?" Marcus said as he looked at the still moving flames, ready to strike but he had no clue as to fire them. Moving his arm in confusion it was only until he focused on them and willed them, did they all move under his control. The flames that were wild before all retracted to move around Shadow, tamed and ready. He focused them into a rather large Orb. One that looked like the yellow thing in the sky only a more brighter color and much larger before aiming it at the hero and shooting it. His ears hearing a dark laugh.

Even though this fire and apparently shadow controlling guy who seemed to be out of his mind had burned down a building and killed a few people, Forcewave was giving him a fair chance to surrender peacefully and avoid being harmed. It seemed like it was the right thing to do after all. Unfortunately trying to do the right thing didn't always end the way it should. This may be one of those times.
Whomever this guy was started talking again, if talking meant rambling on. The fire controller said for one that he didn't know what a hero was. That was kind of understandable. Then it started to get weird when he said he doesn't even remember attacking people with those flames, and got even weirder when he mentioned someone else telling him that Forcewave was the one that responsible for what had happened here. Okay that made no sense, and hearing that 'how dare you attack me' stuff was just ridiculous. Anyways this meant either one of two things. Either he was completely off his rocker, or some unseen entity was messing with his head. Right now Forcewave was leaning towards the former though. Regardless of which it was, he had to stop him.
The flames he had been containing rose up into the air and came together to be launched at him. Forcewave brought the electrical barrier inwards to block it in midair. He then ran forward to take the fight right to this guy. First he would attempt to kick him square in the chest before trying to punch him right in his face.
by Shadowoof on May 5th 2015, 4:58 am
Again the flames were blocked by the a barrier yet Shadow watched as the flames burst apart into wisp and then gone, seemingly whatever was left of them had seemed to go under the ground. Eyes front human. Dark warned and so Shadow looked forward only to be kicked in the chest, a blow that winded him and another to the face, sending him to his knees with trouble breathing. Soon a black mist began to emit from his body, appearing in vision Shadow wondered what it was as the pain from the mans attacks began to subside. It wasn't as bad as the burning pain from before. Not knowing what it was, he heard the demon sigh and felt a tug in his body as the mist took form to create another Shadow only a shadowy version of what he looked like.
"Excuse the human 'hero.' He just suffered from a mental breakdown. And I guess you are now too." Darks demon voice was loud and demonic to the hero as he lunged back into Shadow and tendrils of darkness solidified from the rising mist, some going along the ground towards the hero while others went right at him, the ground ones hoping to chain themselves to his legs and keep him still for the main attack while also extending into his legs with growing spikes.
Seeing as he had no other choice in the matter, Forcewave went ahead and took the fight right to the fire controlling crazy guy. After stopping the giant ball of fire dead in its tracks, he dashed forward and struck at the guy head-on. His combination attack of a kick to the chest and punch to the face would work wonders as they dazed the crazy one and downed him on his knees. Forcewave acquired his balance and pivoted on his left foot as he lifted his right leg to try and kick him in the side of his head. What he would wind up hitting was a dark vapor that leaked out of the guy. Forcewave quickly recovered his footing after spinning about ninety degrees and took a couple steps back.
The strange gas took a physical shape resembling the person it had come out of. It then briefly spoke before reentering the body it came from, and began to attack using the strange gas as a weapon. They took the form of a bunch of chains or something and were running along the ground towards him. Forcewave fired a lightning blast the swept the mist heading towards him away. He then surrounded himself with energy as he ran forward and attempted to strike the guy while he was still down.

Shadow got up, unknowing of the attack Dark had sent at the man and turned to see said man running at him. A little scared, Shadow raised his hands up to defend himself or mainly his face when he felt the heat of flames for two pillars of hellfire rose in reaction to his thoughts. He wanted to defend himself and in turn the flames rose to defend him. Arr. Finally realizing how to control your power, don't expect it to save you human. Your still just learning. Darks voice was demonic and gave the confused Shadow a slight headache in turn.
But he did speak some truth, now he was able to get a hang of the power he grew more interested in it and what he could do with it. Forgetting that the man was coming at him for a few seconds as he thought about the flames. The pillars stood in-front him still, not moving yet still bright and hot he moved to touch it but felt pain as his hand burned and turned a red color but soon enough moved back to normal. "Interesting."

With what looked like a clear path directly towards the person he was being forced to fight with due to their murderous ways, Forcewave charged forward while brimming with energy to strike him while he was still down. Right now his attack was essentially an electrically charged knee to the face. Pulling a trick from straight out of Captain Falcon's bag right here. The crazy guy had put his arms in front of him to try and block the incoming attack, but Forcewave knew that wouldn't be enough. As he got closer and was about to hit him, a pair of flame pillars arose to try and defend the crazy guy from Forcewave's attack. "Oh right, he can control fire. I should have seen this coming." he told himself in his mind, and decided to attack anyways even with those things there.
Despite the pillars of flame now right in front of him, Forcewave continued to attack by increasing the amount of power going into it. Energy surged through him as he threw his leg straight through the flames and right to where the crazy guy's head was. The energy he had around him kept the flames from doing any damage to him, but he could still feel the heat from being this close. Let's go ahead and try to end this quickly. With that in mind he released a surge of energy that would dispel the twin pillars of flame.
Now with the path clear again, Forcewave quickly fired a couple of blasts of electrical energy each aimed at the crazy one's hands. Then he fired another aimed directly for his torso. He figured those attack would be able to incapacitate the guy, even with the rapid healing power. Scratch that, despite that power. Forcewave knew that he could hurt this guy faster than they could heal if he needed to. Hopefully he wouldn't need to, too much.
As he watched the flame, he saw it separate along with a sudden pain to the face. Feeling his bone crushed and his body jolted he backed away with a hand to his nose and mouth, already he could feel them regrowing which scared him a little. Not even after that, he felt shots of energy hit his hands, practically going though them and into his mouth and out the back before feeling another break though his torso. His body was only slightly human and due to this the damage he took from multiple shots basically to the head and the torso broke Shadow and he collapsed from the shock of the pain. His body covered itself in shadows as the figure Forcewave saw before appeared again from the mist.
"Weak but then again, I broke the Shadow of Chicago. Which I was sure they called you." Dark said as he turned to the hero, a smirk rested on the darker form of Shadow. "I must thank you for the pleasure of watching my host get beaten and ripped like that, something that hasn't happened since his death. I love how you heroes just fight, he actually shot that fireball at you because he saw how your ability could dispel it and I of course messed with his head a little. Just wanted to clear that up. Unless of course your like that Red fellow and won't accept I'm real then so be it." Dark said to get at the hero. He knew that the term meant to save the weak which Marcus quite was just then. He was weak and confused but because the hero didn't wait he was beaten almost to death. Giving off the sinister laugh the hero would have heard before, the demon would walk back to the body where he would just rest and wait for the human to come back from his sleep of pain. There are no strings on me.

Okay, that was it. After a series of attacks that were designed to be effective hit the person that were being used on, the practically psychotic guy was incapacitated, and they would not be creating any more of those flames any time soon. That was a good thing for he just used them to attack others. Because of those actions they got knocked out and even shot in the mouth. Hitting somebody right in the mouth was usually a good way to mess them up, even when it's not entirely intentional. Forcewave had been aiming for his hands as part of his attempt to incapacitate the guy, and one of his hands had been over his mouth and well, let's just say he looked like he needed to go to the dentist.
Now Forcewave just had to wait for the police or somebody to show up and take this hellfire controlling nutcase away to one of those prisons designed to hold metahumans. He said hellfire right, or was that something else? Did that mean he was from that place Tyuki's aunt and other relatives were from? Meh, doesn't matter anyways. What mattered was that this guy had been stopped before he could hurt anybody else. The only shame was that he didn't have a chance to stop the guy from killing anybody. Nobody here should have died and why was there more smoke coming out of the guy? Oh right, the talking smoke thing. He forgot about that.
The evil thing made of smoke was making another appearance and talking, and talking, and talking. Okay, enough of this. Forcewave didn't even let the foul creature finish running its mouth before firing an energy blast to dispel it. He then created a barrier of energy around the person that it came out of to try and prevent it from going back in. "No, I'm not letting you escape." he told the shadowy thing and would immediately proceed to fire another energy blast at it. Forcewave was sure as can be that he was not going to allow this thing to do what it pleased.
by Shadowoof on May 14th 2015, 12:47 am
Before Dark could move back to his host for effect, he felt a force of energy separating the mist and dispelling it. A barrier formed around his host and again another shot went though him, leaving the mist figure half broken yet Dark gave a cold laugh to what the hero did. "I see what you did their. To tell you that what you've done achieved nothing is what I will do. I mean I'm just showing myself in shadows for the effect. Isn't that what you humans call it?" Dark said as the mist would simply separate into nothing as Dark never left nor could he leave his host.
No he was stuck in the humans body for as long as the humans mind could keep him their but now was time for another leap of faith as Dark took control of the humans body for but a little short time and focused on it until he melded the body into a shadow that would move past the barrier and towards one of the many apartments that he would go though before unmelding the human in what seemed like a kitchen. Get up you stupid monkey. Dark said in hopes the human would awake soon so they could leave, his wounds seemed to have been covered in the shadows but now it was just taking it's time to heal.

This would have to be about the worst idea of all time. Why would a bot need a domain?
I'd say yes, there would be some sort of market with .horse for horse breeders/trainers/owners. This one this is just just nonsense. I'd compare it to .onl.

За́мковая улица () — одна из самых старых городских улиц в центре города Гродно. Является одним из символов города. Протяженность около 360 м, от Советской площади до территории Нового и Старого замков, от которых и пошло название улицы. Является единственной улицей в Белоруссии, на которой находятся сразу два королевских замка.

На улице расположены архитектурные памятники разных эпох: начиная от древнерусского периода и кончая началом XX века. Улица претерпела на себе все испытания и лихолетья, выпавшие на долю города, её застройка много раз разрушалась и восстанавливалась. В XVII веке произошёл расцвет улицы, на ней было не меньше, чем семь дворцов магнатов Речи Посполитой. Улица успешно перенесла две мировые войны, однако наибольшие потери понесла в мирное время, когда советскими властями была снесена самая старая и ценная застройка четной стороны улицы, а также взорвано самое высотное на то время здание в городе — Фара Витовта.

Улица начинается от советской площади, с обеих сторон находятся скверы. Далее до перекрестка с улицей Д. Гродненского с обеих сторон идет плотная двух и трехэтажная застройка XIX века, большинство домов имеют въездные арки. Между домами № 5 и № 7 проходит переулок, который раньше назывался Тесный, а теперь безымянный. Пересечение с улицей Д. Гродненского регулируется светофором, на перекрестке стоит здание пожарного депо. Далее путь до Нового и Старого Замков только пеший, разрешено движение личного транспорта на съезде к Неману. Улица заканчивается высоким яром над Неманом, Старый замок соединяется с улицей арочным мостом.

История
С XII века от деинца к торгово-ремесленному посаду вела дорога, в XIV—XV ввеках она связывала Верхний и Нижний замки с рынком (теперь Советская площадь) и Смоленским трактом.

Замковая улица упоминается в грамоте Витовта гродненским евреям в 1389 году. Хотя документ признан фальсификацией, но по данным волочной померы 1560 года евреи действительно жили на начальном отрезке улицы. В «Увалочном измерении Гродно» эта улица имеет основное название «Еврейская улица с рынка до замка», и дополнительное — «Большая Замковая». Последнее название сохранилось за улицей, и с тех пор название практически не менялась.

По мнению исследователя Ю. Кишика улица Замковая в XII—XV веках начиналась от замка и направлялась в сторону Рынка, однако не доходило до него, а заканчивалась возле трассы второй линии оборонительных укреплений. После перепланировки города, проведенной великой княгиней Великого княжества Литовского Боной Сфорца между 1533 и 1541 годами, улица была расширена, и продолжена плавной дугой выводящей на Рынок аккуратно посередине его западной стороны, словно на протяжении оси улицы Озерская.

В XIV веке князь Витовт в начале улицы основал деревянный храм, который при короле Стефане Батории был перестроен в каменный.

В XVI веке оборонительное значение старых укреплений уменьшается и к улице постепенно переходит функция коммуникационной артерии, связывая замок с главным рынком города. В 1560 году тогдашняя «Большая Еврейская» вместе с соседними улицами «Еврейская тесная» и «Еврейская школьная» была застроена небольшими деревянными и фахверковыми домами, которые населяли главным образом евреи. По левой стороне улицы, двигаясь от рынка, в середине 16 в. площадями владели: королевский заместитель Лев Михайлович, Адам Мышкович, Мошки и Мордух Дактаровичи, Ахрон, Абрам и Пешах Схудич, Ждрах и Абрам Хадасковичи. Причем «Увалочное измерение» отдельно отмечает два здания: «Замковый двор» и «пустой дом Адама Мышковича». Правую сторону улицы занимали шесть еврейских и одна плебанская площади, где был заложен Витовтом деревянный фарный костёл. В целом на улице было 17 застроенных участков.

В 80-х годах XVI века Старый замок коренным образом перестраивается в стиле ренессанса для короля Стефана Батория.

В XV—XVI веках в конце улицы у современных домов № 17,19 существовала Малая Церковь и монастырь. Они были разграблены российскими войсками в 1665 году и последний раз упоминаются в 1679 году. В 1643 году уже стоял дворец и каменный дом князя М. Масальского (современный дом № 5). В 1680 году здесь стояли пятнадцать еврейских каменных домов, усадьба гродненского фогта Стефана Евстафия Александровича, двор Полубинских и площадь виленского епископа. При Сигизмунде III «Замковый двор» перестроен в трехэтажный «дворец гродненского ландвойта» (возможно архитектор — Санти Гуччи). Застройка улицы была разнообразной: дома строились из дерева и кирпича («прусская кладка» или фахверк), или были полностью кирпичные. Крыши крылись плоской черепицей, или гонтом.

Значение Замковой улице значительно возросло после 1673 года, когда было объявлено о намерении проводить каждый третий сейм Речи Посполитой в Гродно. Магнаты активно расширяют дворцовое строительство: до пожара 1753 года на улице было не менее семи магнатских дворцов: Масальских, Хрептовичей, Синявских, Сосновских и др..

Довольно интересное описание современниками роскоши во время сеймов Речи Посполитой:
«Сто, восемьдесят, пятьдесят шляхтичей на великолепных, богато убранных рысаках сопровождают каждый экипаж. Коляски блестят от позолоты, внутри обиты шёлком. Король едет на роскошной шестерке лошадей, окруженный толпой гайдуков, лавферов, карликов, негров, пеших и слуг на конях, за ними движется около 60 карет. Вокруг шумно и тесно. Во внутреннем замковом дворе пустые кареты стоят по обеим сторонам в большом количестве, что кажется странным в такой большой толпе. Те, что не помещались на внутреннем дворе, располагались на внешнем, где были видны тысячи коней, привязанных к столбам. Под вечер магнаты возвращаются домой, перед ними следуют слуги, держа горящие факелы, осыпая жаром деревянные стены домов. В городе изобилие золота, серебряные деньги встречаются редко.»

В 1753 году в городе произошёл сильный пожар, который значительно повредил «элитную» улицу. Тогда гродненский староста Антоний Тизенгауз выкупил «пустые стены» дворца Хрептовичей для постройки дворца Ляхницких. Обновился и дворец Масальских. Стены домов штукатурились, украшались лепниной, появлялись ажурные балконы, проезжая часть выкладывалась камнем. В XVII—XVIII веках улица плотно застроена, вымощена камнем, здесь находился рыбацкий цех

В 1742 году специально для заседаний сейма Речи Посполитой по проекту саксонского архитектора Карла Фридриха Пепельмана был возведен Новый замок. В Новом замке в 1793 году прошло историческое «немое» заседание Сейма, которое утвердило второй раздел Речи Посполитой. В ноябре 1795 года в Новом замке последний король польский и великий князь литовский Станислав Август Понятовский поставил свою подпись под текстом отречения.

Застройка улицы в XIX веке была полностью каменной. Пожары 1780, 1782, 1783 годов не коснулись улицы. Начиная с 1795 и до пожара 1899 года застройка улицы почти не изменилась кроме Фары Витовта, которую в 1809 году переделали в Софийский собор.

Пожары 1892 и 1899 годов сильно изменили характер застройки улицы, которая в основном приобретает современный вид. После пожара был построен дом для гродненского православного братства (современный дом № 3), трехэтажный особняк статского советника Харченко (дом № 9). На месте сгоревшего флигеля королевских конюшен появился жилой дом, который там находится и сейчас. В 1902 году напротив дворца Хрептовичей была построена пожарная каланча, решение о её строительстве в городе было принято после истребительных пожаров. Около каланчи сохранился флигель королевских конюшен. Владелец табачной фабрики Шерешевского заложил фундаменты под новые здания на левой стороне улицы (современные дома № 12, 14). Возводятся дом советника Анцылевича, дом Харченко, перестраивается в русском стиле Софийский собор. В конце XIX — начале XX века улица состояла из двух-и трехэтажных оштукатуренных каменных зданий, основная часть крыши укрывалась жестью, с литыми и коваными балконами.

В 1910 году домами по ул. Замковой владели:
 № 1 — Софийский собор;
 № 2 — Замковский;
 № 3 — православное братство;
 № 4 — (пересечение с ул. Монастырской) — Шиллинг;
 № 5 — (пересечение с ул. Мясная) — Дом православного духовенства;
 № 6 — (пересечение с ул. Монастырской) — Эпштейн;
 № 7 — (пересечение с ул. Мясная) — Вальфсон;
 № 8 — Эпштейн;
 № 9 — Харченко;
 № 10 — Лапинер;
 № 11 — Соколовр;
 № 12 — Шерешевского;
 № 13 — (пересечение с пер. Пожарным) — Рабинович;
 № 14 — С. -Петербургский (бывший Тульский) Поземельный банк;
 № 15 — (пересечение с пер. Пожарным) — Анцулевич;
 № 16 — (пересечение с пер. Прачечной) — Казармы военного лазарета;
 № 17 — (пересечение с пер. Замковой) — Пожарная команда;
 № 18 — Лазарет;
 № 19 — Старый замок.

Во время Великой Отечественной войны в районе Замковой улицы находилось еврейское гетто, в котором было уничтожено 29 тысяч человек. В память об этом на доме № 7 установлена мемориальная доска.

Историческая застройка улицы, несмотря на некоторые повреждения в военное время, в целом сохранялась до 1958 года, когда был окончательно разобран так называемый «Замковый двор» и на его месте построен Дворец Текстильщиков. Позже на левой стороне улицы были снесены практически все застройки вплоть до Монастырского переулка. Тогда навсегда исчезли каменные сооружения XV—XVI в. Среди них был так называемый «Дом с рыбкой» — одноэтажное здание XVI в., В котором в начале XVII в. жил глава гродненских рыбаков Антоний Максимович.

Также в это время существовала практика достройки этажей в существующих домах. Так, двухэтажный мансардный дом № 15 после достройки стал четырёхэтажном, при этом получив современный вид. Последнее изменение ансамбля улицы произошло в 1961 году, когда была уничтожена Фара Витовта, на месте которой так ничего и не было построено.

Ныне застроено 2-3-х этажными домами, среди которых выделяется ансамбль уличной застройки 19 века. с чертами позднего классицизма, ампиру, «модерне» и башня пожарного депо конца XIX-нач. XX века.

В апреле 2020 года гродненскими историками был разработан проект восстановления исторической застройки улицы.

Строения

На нечетной стороне

Здание № 1

На месте дома, который бы имел номер 1, располагается небольшой скверик. Ранее на этом месте находилась Фара Витовта, которая была построена в конце XIV века и взорвана в 1961 году.

Здание № 3

Двухэтажное здание. Историко-культурная ценность. Известно как Дом Софийского братства на месте часовни, Дом кафедрального Софийского собора. В разные времена здесь располагались Дом чинов правительственных учреждений Гродненской губернии; «Братская лавка»; Первое церковно-приходское училище;  братская мужская и женская церковно-приходские школы имени графа Муравьева.

Здание построено в 1903 году. Двухэтажный оштукатуренный дом. Карниз, фриз, подоконные тяги и меж этажный пояс профилированный, первый этаж рустованный. Окна второго этажа украшены сандриками, и филинговыми наличниками. Углы подчеркнуты лопатками. 3 стороны дворового фасада имеет клапанный балкон со швеллерами. По центру, над парадным входом, ступенчатый аттик и фигурные плинтуса полуциркульные окна. Здание — яркий пример эклектики в ансамбле.

В конце 19 в. в доме располагалась Гродненское православное братство. В начале XX века здесь продавали в розницу газеты. В 1928 году работали: магазин Рахель Захари, магазин дрожжей Тавбы Тропе, потребительская лавка Пракседы Парай.

Сейчас здание занимает дочернее предприятие «Гродненская МПМК-146» ГОУП «Гроднооблселстрой».

Здание № 5

Трехэтажное здание. П-образное в плане здание. С северной части пристроена одноэтажная хозяйственная пристройка. Историко-культурная ценность. Известно как Каменный дом Масальских. Один из старейших жилых домов в Гродно.

Построен в 1643, по другим сведениям — около 1726 году. Перестроен в 1912 году.

Сформировался как дворцовый комплекс в середине XVIII в. и включал в себя участки современных домов по ул. Замковой № 5, № 7, № 9, № 11. П-подобный каменный дом, который сохранил замкнутый хозяйственный двор. Первоначально двухэтажный (третий этаж пристроены в начале XX в.), с высокой двухскатной крышей и арочным проездом по центру.

Усадьбу на углу Замковой улицы и улочки тесной еврейской в 1674 году Ицка и Кадыш Абрамовичи уступили великому литовскому предводителю Александру Гилярию Полубинских. В 1726 году здание было занято юридико гродненского старосты Михаилом Масальским. В 1781 князь Ксаверий Масальский записал его на виленского епископа Игнация Масальского. В 1794 усадьба принадлежала уже гродненскому подкоморию Франциску Юндилову. 28 марта 1920 года здесь прошло общее собрание Гродненского Белорусского национального комитета. Осенью того же года происходили белорусские семейные вечера и запись в Грамаду белорусской молодежи. В 1925 году жил белорусский деятель М. Головач. В 1926 году в здании размещалась еврейская религиозной школа «Tora Jabne» (руководитель доктор Немцевич) и «Клуб еврейской интеллигенции». После Второй мировой войны здание внешне сильно преобразилось, были пристроены фронтон и балконы. В 1950 году здание занимало торгово-кулинарная школа, а с 1970-х годах здесь расположен интернат № 1 УО «Гродненского государственного медицинского университета».

Здание № 7

Одно- и частично двухэтажное С-образное здание. Историко-культурная ценность. Известно как часть дворца Масальских. Большой дворец Масальских был построен на месте (а возможно и содержал часть стен) трех постепенно приобретенных каменных строений. Первоначально двухэтажный длинный каменный П-образный, отделанный профилированным карнизом и междуэтажным поясом, был накрыт высокой «ломаной» «французской» крышей с большими мансардными окнами. Дворец имел два асимметрично расположенных арочных проезда. После пожара 1899 года большая часть здания была разобрана, а из его остатков построили дом по ул. Замковой № 7. Строительство вели его новые владельцы Трылинг и Симха Абрам, которые около 1905 нрла выкупили у прежних владельцев Менделя и Рывки Соболь.

Сейчас здание занимает ОАО «Продуктовый сервис» г. Гродно. Во внутреннем дворике дома в двухэтажной части работает магазин канцтоваров. На углу дома со стороны дома № 5 висит мемориальная доска «памяти 29 тысяч узников-жертв фашизма. В этом районе в 1941—1945 годах находилось гетто» (на русском и еврейском языках).

В здании находится РУПАД «Гроднаавтодор». Примыкает к дому № 11.
Здания № 9-11-13-15 образуют единую застройку и отличаются друг от друга только цветом окраски.

Здание № 9

Трехэтажное здание, от двора пристроен двухэтажный дом. Историко-культурная ценность. Построен в 1912 году. Известно как трехэтажное имение статского советника Харченко.

Трехэтажный оштукатуренный кирпичный дом. Декоративная отделка здания сосредоточена на парадном фасаде. Карниз и декоративные профилированные межэтажные пояса, карниз украшен орнаментальными кронштейнами и гирляндой. Окна третьего и второго этажей украшены орнаментальными наличниками. Фасад выделяется ритмом четырёх пилястр, завершенных капителями. По центру два литых чугунных балкона, не сохранивших свой первоначальный вид (по состоянию на 1923 год дом имел три балкона). Здание — пример эклектики в ансамбле. Под карнизом — поясок с сухариками. Дом стоит на части фундаментов дворца Масальских (современные здания № 5 и № 7).

В 1877 году гродненский мещанин Мойша Глинфельд выкупил в городе эту площадь и через два года возвел большой одноэтажный деревянный дом с мезонином, который сгорел в 1895 году. Позже площадь приобрел коллежский советник Иван Лукич Харченко, который и построил новую трехэтажную каменицу на четыре квартиры — с водопроводом, туалетом, ванной и водонагревателем. Домовладелец с женой Александрой Павловной заняли пятикомнатную квартиру на третьем этаже; бывший хозяин участка Мойша Глинфельд с семьей расположился в четырёхкомнатной квартире на втором этаже. На первом этаже размещался продовольственный магазин М. Рутковского. Во флигеле жила прислуга: кухарка, экономка, дворник. Хозяин дома И. Харченко определялся как местный скандалист, поскольку имел привычку писать большое количество жалоб по самым разным причинам.

В 1910 году в доме работала агентства Белостокского общества взаимного страхования от огня. 3 сентября 1944 года в здании работала фармацевтическая и фельдшерско-акушерская школа, потом с сентября 1947 года проводились занятия в строительном техникуме. В 1970 году в здании находился — «Аблавтатрэст», после — РУП «Гродноавтодор».

Здание № 11

Трехэтажное здание. Историко-культурная ценность. Известно как дом Хаима Стрельца, дом Соколова, дом Сары Рохлю, дом Давида Цофнаса. Построен в 1911 году в стиле эклектики. Составляет единый ансамбль с соседними домами.

Трехэтажный оштукатуренный кирпичный дом, присоединенный к зданию № 9, составляет с ним единый фронт застройки. Декор здания созвучен с отделкой соседних построек, но сильно пострадал во время эксплуатации. Карниз и декоративный профилированный межэтажный пояс, карниз украшен орнаментальными кронштейнами и гирляндой. Окна третьего этажа отделаны орнаментальными наличниками. Фасад сохранил по бокам парные пилястры с капителями. По центру второго этажа и по бокам третьего просматриваются места для балконов.

До конца XVIII века участок принадлежал юридице Масальских. В 1865 году участком владела Лейко Болгарский, между владениями которой и дворцом Масальских была узкая, не шире сажени улица (Замковый тупик). До 1958—1960 годов к дому Ивана Харченко примыкал флигель, построенный около 1875 года, который выходил на улицу Замковый тупик. После его сноса пределы участка сильно размылись, фактически исчезла улица Замковый тупик. Сейчас существует проект восстановления этого флигеля с выходом на улицу Большая Троицкая.

В 1911 году участок приобрел Хаим Янкелееич Стрелец, который и построил дом. Однако владелец дома последние годы жизни серьёзно болел и имел финансовые проблемы, поэтому декорирование дома лепниной не завершилась до смерти владельца в ноябре 1913 года и так никогда не было завершено. После смерти хозяина по завещанию дом перешёл к вдове — Саре Рохлю. В 1923 году принадлежал Давиду Цафрасу (Цафнасу). В 1928 году его хозяйкой была Ревекка Цафрас. Здание изначально не имел номера, а впоследствии из-за него «сдвинулась» нумерация домов на нечетной стороне Замковой улице. В сентябре 1944 года решением исполкома горсовета всё здание было передано педучилищу.

В доме размещается брачный салон «СкажиДа» (), «Каменный замок» (изделия из камня и памятники), ЦБУ-5 ЗАО «РРБ-Банк», салон печати «Алипринт», интернет провайдер «Атлант Телеком», туристическая компания «Кластур», «Риэл-кампани», центр продаж бытовой техники «Ролик», салон связи МТС. Примыкает к домам № 9 и № 13.

Здание № 13

Трехэтажное Г-образное здание. Историко-культурная ценность. Известно как винная лавка Рохлю-Рутковской Рахель. Построено в 1901 году. В основе этого здания заложено каменное строение XVII века. Сейчас здесь интернат Гродненского педагогического училища.

Трехэтажное, асимметричное в плане, здание с высоким цоколем, накрытое пологой двускатной крышей. Развит в глубину двора. Плоскость главного фасада обрамлена пилястрами, канелираваными на втором и третьем этажах и рустованными на первом. Пилястры завершены капителями. Фасад увенчан мощным карнизом, декорирован орнаментом и дентикулами. В левом крыле сквозной проход, закрытый воротами, в правом — вход в здание, расположен симметрично проходу. Центр выделен балконом с узорчатой решеткой. Планировка коридорная. Связь между этажами осуществляется с помощью двухмаршевых лестниц. Интерьеры простые, без декоративной отделки. По мнению специалистов, здание наиболее насыщенно лепным декором и является совершенным и красивым примером эклектики на Замковой улице.

Винная лавка Рохлю была известна всей гродненской бедности, так как здесь продавалось самое дешевое в городе вино. По купчей 1911 года домом владел Каган Янкель Израиль. С 1918 года в здании работал магазин потребительских товаров Хашы Апой. В марте 1944 года здание занимал Гродненский механический техникум железнодорожного транспорта, а в 1960-е годы здесь размещался интернат музыкального педагогического училища

Здание занимает УО «Гродненский областной дом техническо-художественного творчества учащейся молодежи». В арке дома размещается магазин «Ткалля». Примыкает к домам № 11 и № 15, завершает единую композицию домов № 9, № 11, № 13.

Здание № 15, 15А

Здание № 15

Четырёхэтажное здание. Историко-культурная ценность. Известно как дом Дразнина по Пожарному переулку, дом Шерешевского, дом И. Любича. Год постройки — 1870. Капремонт с надстройкой сделан в 1970-е годы

Первоначально двухэтажный кирпичный дом с мансардой, балконами, филёнгавыми окнами, сандриками и профилированным карнизом. После капремонта дом стал полностью безликими, были изменены даже размеры окон.

Некоторые историки сомневаются в том, что дом был построен именно в 1870 году, считая, что в 1870 году был перестроен в каменный дом XVII—XVIII веков. В 1892 году в здании возможно состоялся съезд мировых судей. В 1910—1915 годах владельцем дома был Шерешевский. В начале 1910-х годов в доме жил известный гродненский врач Игорь Вальдемарович Гольмстен, который был одним из владельцев одного из первых гродненских кинотеатров «Сатурн».

Здание № 15А

Трех- и четырёхэтажное здание. Жилой дом. Дом образцового содержания. Примыкает к дому № 15.

Здание № 17
Двухэтажное здание. Историко-культурная ценность. Известно как дом советника Анцылевича. Построено в 1912 году, реставрировано в 1940 году.

Двухэтажный оштукатуренный кирпичный дом, квадратный, с внутренним двориком. Возник на остатках флигеля королевских конюшен. Карниз и декоративный профилированный межэтажный пояс. Балконы современные, стилизованный под предыдущие. В 1950 году в здании находилась пожарная охрана МВД, добровольное пожарное общество.

Теперь полностью жилой дом.

Здание № 19

Здание пожарного депо с каланчой. Историко-культурная ценность. В начале 20 века было возведено пожарное депо, завершенное в 1902 году. Комплекс пожарной части города был построен в форме каре. Главный, южный фасад комплекса со стороны Замковой улицы состоял из современного дома № 17, № 19 и пожарной каланчи, которые соединяла 1—этажное сооружение с семью въездами для пожарных машин. С запада, со стороны Старого замка, находился 1-этажный фасад. Со стороны городничанки и современной Большой Троицкой улице проходила кладка. В северной части комплекса находилась деревянная тренировочная башня.

Сейчас здание занимает пожарная аварийно-спасательная часть № 1 Ленинского района г. Гродно. Со стороны Троицкой улицы изображена живопись, в котором представлены спасатели разных времен от Средневековья до наших времен, лицо женщины в конце изображения очень похож на Мону Лизу с картины Леонардо да Винчи. На смотровой площадке виден манекен спасителя, который смотрит в сторону Советской площади.

Одновременно возле пожарной каланчи стоит трехэтажный дом № 19, который также имеет статус историко-культурной ценности.

Здание № 21

Старый замок. Памятник архитектуры государственного значения.

Старый замок — исторический комплекс оборонительных укреплений. Возник во времена Древнерусского государства. Многократно разрушался, восстанавливался и перестраивался. В планировке и архитектуре замка обнаруживаются наслоения многих веков.

Замок расположился на крутом холме на высоком правом берегу Немана при впадении в него речки Городничанки. Топографию местности определило очертание плана замка, близкого к треугольнику. Продолжительность замковых стен достигала почти 300 м при средней толщине около 3 м. Стены имели неодинаковую высоту и завершались зубцами. С внешней стороны они, как и башни, подпирались контрфорсами. От города замок отделялся оврагом и глубоким рвом.

В замке во времена Витовта имелось пять укрепленных башен. Въездная башня, квадратная в плане, располагалась в юго-восточном углу крепости и соединялась с городом подъемным деревянным мостом. Самая высокая башня, круглая в плане, уцелела с XIII века и была включена Витовтом в систему новых замковых укреплений. По своему характеру она близка к оборонно-сторожевой башне, похожих на башни в Каменце. Замковые башни не сохранились до нашего времени: некоторые из них разобраны при строительстве дворца Стефана Батория в конце XVI века, От других остались фундаменты и части стен.

Представление о замке Витовта и системе его укреплений дает известная гравюра города Гродно 1568 года. К восточной стене замка между двумя башнями — круглой и прямоугольной — примыкал двухэтажный дворец. Его архитектура, как и архитектура всего замка Витовта, имела готические черты. О конструкции стен можно судить только по сохранившимся остаткам кирпича и камня-валуна. Кирпич в кладке стен использовался для выравнивания рядов камня, в башнях — как облицовочный материал. Сохранились знаки — клейма мастеров, резанные острым инструментом на каёмочной стороне кирпича до обжига. Картинки знаков очень разнообразны и насчитывают несколько десятков типов.

В 80-х годах XVI века при Стефане Батории Старый замок подвергался коренной перестройке. Из укреплений Витовта были использованы только стены и некоторые башни. Дворец был построен заново. В планировке двухэтажного дворца заметна его приспособленность к обороне: отсутствовали парадные вестибюли лестницы, стены отличались большой толщиной. Небольшие по величине комнаты и несколько залов создавали асимметричную и замкнутую композицию плана.

Это уже был совсем другой дворец, в стиле немецкого маньеризма, построенный по проекту архитектора Йозефа Ройтена. Снаружи замок выглядел очень эффектно, фасады у него были орнаментированные сграффито и резьбой. Тронный зал и комнаты Стефана Батория размещались на втором этаже. Они были украшены шлифованным гипсом, кафелем и резьбой, пол выложен керамической плиткой и мрамором. На первом этаже находилась канцелярия, архив, сокровищница, кладовая и сторожка.

Характерные черты дворца — декоративный аттик, окна с тонким наличником, эркеры с фигурным завершением. Новым был сам подход к решению замка — он был задуман как дворцово-замковый комплекс. Дальнейшая судьба Старого замка была связана со многими перестройками. В XVII веке, после войны Польши с Россией, замок ремонтировался под руководством литовского канцлера Паца. Тогда окна потеряли своё обрамление и были увеличены. Частично замок достраивался в XVIII в. Надстройка третьего этажа, выполненная в XIX веке, конечная изменило его облик.

Теперь всё здание занимает Гродненский государственный историко-археологический музей.

На четной стороне

Здание № 4

Пятиэтажное здание из стекла и бетона. Построен в 1971 году. При постройке Дома быта была снесена ценная застройка на четной стороне Замковой улицы, в том числе древнее здание цеха рыбаков.

Сейчас в здании располагается целый ряд учреждений: срочная химчистка, срочное фото, цветная ксерокопия, медицинский центр «Лоде».

Здание № 12

Двухэтажное здание. Историко-культурная ценность. Построено в XVIII веке. Неоднократно перестраивалось. Известно как Дом Лапинера.

Здание прямоугольное в плане. Центральная часть главного фасада выделена фигурным аттиком. Плоскость главного фасада декорирована рустованными лопатками, карнизом с сухариками, оконными наличниками с замковым камнем. В декоративной отделке фасада прослеживаются эклектичные мотивы. В 1910 году в доме Лапинера по Замковой улице находилась квартира присяжного поверенного Бажанова, работала Агентство страхования русского страхового общества. С 1925 года в доме находились магазин колониальных товаров «Каплан, Бурдэ, Шапиро» и компания «Spotkol», в 1937 году — «Bank Ludowy», с 1945 года — обувная фабрика № 2, 1946 году — школа ФЗО «Обувщиков».

Теперь полностью жилой дом.

Здание № 14

Трехэтажное здание, вынесенное от улицы на 50 метров. Историко-культурная ценность. Известно как дом Шерешевского, дом Гешэль Ёгля (1928). Год постройки — 1900.

Здание трехэтажное, изначально не оштукатуренное, кирпичное, в глубине двора, имеет симметричную объемно-пранировачную композицию. Первичное украшение парадного фасада не сохранилось. В центральной части главного фасада — небольшой ризалит, завершен треугольным щитом с Люкарной. Стены фасада на первом и втором этажах прорезаны лучковыми оконными проемами, на втором — полуциркульными. Памятник архитектуры стиля модерн. Примерно в 1913 году здесь жил командир 103-го Петрозаводского полка полковник Михаил Павлович Алексеев.

Теперь полностью жилой дом.

Здание № 16

Двухэтажное здание. Известно как дворец Хрептовичей. Историко-культурная ценность. Памятник архитектуры XVII—XVIII века (согласно вывеске на доме). Построен в 1742−52, 1790 годах. Замкнутое здание в плане.

Здание занимает УК «Гродненский государственный музей истории религии». Вход в музей через арку.

Здание № 18

Двухэтажное здание. Находится на пересечении с улицей Д. Гродненского. Историко-культурная ценность.

По волочному померу 1560 года участок принадлежал гродненскому ландвойту. В инвентаре 1680 года упоминается на «улицы с Подола мимо Старой Девы» как «еврейская площадь, застроена, на которой еврей живёт». В легенде к плану Маркевича 1780 года участок обозначен как «plac pusty XX. Dominikanow Rdzanostockich» . Нынешнее здание построено между 1783 и 1795 годами как одноэтажный каретный «сарай»-навес. По плану 1831 года, здание относиться к тюрьме (возможно, как жилое помещение солдат охраны). В XIX веке в нём размещались казармы: юнкерские, а после — губернские гарнизонные батальоны (1887). Впервые дом был описан как двухэтажный в 1910 году. В 1923 году здание принадлежало государству и использовался как казарма. По состоянию на 1950 год — нарсуд второго участка города Гродно.

Теперь со стороны Замковой улицы находится брачный салон «Милон».

Здание № 20

Новый замок расположен напротив Старого — через ров с перекинутым через него каменным мостом. В XIV—XV веках при Витовте здесь располагался так называемый Нижний замок, который уже тогда потерял своё военное значение. На его месте был возведен «Дом короля» («Domus regium»), при нём часовня, а в каменной башни — тюрьма. Весь Нижний замок был обведен каменными стенами. До конца XVII века этих сооружений уже не было. На месте «Дом короля» стоял деревянный дом Осолинского — важного чиновника при короле.

В 1737—1751 годах на месте бывшего Нижнего замка Август II построил королевский дворец в стиле рококо, сегодня известный как Новый замок. П-образный дворец под мансардной крышей образовывал парадный двор, который со стороны Старого замка (замка Стефана Батория) завершался двумя флигелями и воротами. Двухэтажный дворец состоял из трех прямоугольных корпусов с мансардами, до центрального корпуса со стороны дворового фасада примыкала выделенная в самостоятельный объём часовня-капелла с шатровой колокольней, покрытая вальмовой крышей. Часовню построил И. Ф. Кнобел, который частично изменил проект всего дворца. С левой стороны располагались корпуса с канцелярией, конюшней и другими служебными помещениями. Фасад дворца покрыт одинарными и двойными лопатками, прямоугольными нишами, сгруппированными оконными проемами. Центральный вход был выделен неглубоким трехосным ризалитом, украшенным двойными пилястрами и капителями, которые были декорированы лепкой в стиле рококо.

Теперь Новый замок делят Гродненский государственный историко-археологический музей и областная библиотека. В отдельном здании находится Государственный архив общественных объединений Гродненской области.

Парки, скверы
Имеется два сквера. Один стоит на месте бывшего Фарного костела, огражденный улицами Замковой, Октябрьской и Советской площадью. Второй сквер находится на четной стороне на месте домов № 2-4-6-8-10.

Памятники, мемориальные доски

На доме № 7 установлена мемориальная доска со следующим текстом: «Памяти 29 тысяч узников-жертв фашизма. В этом районе в 1941—1945 гг. находилось гетто» (на русском и еврейском языках).

В начале 30 годов XX века в Гродно жило около 21 тысяч евреев, что составляло около 42 % населения города. После фашистской оккупации 23 июня 1941 года в Гродно были созданы 2 гетто: № 1 в районе улицы Замковая и № 2 в районе современной улицы Лидская. Вход в гетто № 1 осуществлялся через единственные ворота, которые выходили на улицу Замковую и находились примерно на месте мемориальная доски. 2 ноября 1941 началось переселение в созданные гетто. В гетто № 1 оказалось около 15 тысяч человек, в № 2 — около 10 тысяч. После ликвидации гетто № 2 в ноябре 1942 года, большинство заключенных оказалась в гетто № 1, остальные были отправлены в Освенцим. В гетто по Замковой улице оставалось около 17 тысяч евреев, однако уже в декабре 1942 года их количество снизилось до 12,5 тысяч. В начале 1943 гетто было ликвидировано: в январе — около 10 тысяч, а в феврале ещё около 5 тысяч жителей гетто были вывезены в Освенцим и Треблинку и уничтожены. В марте 1943 года те, кто остался в гетто, были отправлены в Белосток, где позже также были убиты. Согласно докладу уездного комиссара фон Плетц, общее количество уничтоженных из Гродно и окрестностей составила более 41 тысячи человек.

Между Новым и Старым замками в самом конце улицы расположена деревянная скульптура князя Витовта.

Мосты, переходы

Старый замок с Замковой улицей соединяет каменный арочный мост, самый старый в Белоруссии. Он был построен во второй половине XVII века вместо деревянного. Первый капитальный ремонт сделан в первой половине XIX века. Мост реконструировался в 2004—2005 годах. Входит в комплекс зданий Старого замка.

Самый ранний документ, на котором указан мост через сухой ров Старого замка, — гравюра Цюндта 1568—72 годов, на которой изображен деревянный мост. Вместе с перестройкой Старого замка во второй половине XVI века по приказу Стефана Батория был сооружен новый мост. Была укреплена гора Старого замка и переброшен большой деревянный подъемный мост на пяти каменных опорах, который заканчивался воротами, с левой стороны ворот находилась тюрьма. Во время земляных работ 1937 года специалисты обнаружили опоры, сохранившиеся со времен С. Батория. В инвентаре 1680 года говорится, что мост был оборонительным сооружением с перилами, на которых размещалась 16 башенок — бойниц. В 1670 году деревянное сооружение моста заменили каменным, а через 70 лет у него исчезли бойницы, и он перестал носить оборонительный характер. Мост описанный в дневнике немецкого путешественника 18 в.: «Город средней величины, въезд из-за крутизны гор очень плохой. Улицы загрязнены. На горе у Немана расположен старый королевский замок, опоясан глубоким рвом. Въезд через мост, подпёрт на арки чрезвычайной высоты». В XIX веке мост дважды ремонтировался. Проекты капитального ремонта и сметы утверждал Совет Министерства путей и сообщения, надзор за работами вел министерский инженер поручик Арнольд. До наших времен сохранился рабочий журнал надзора за капремонтом с перечислением всех выполненных работ. Проект предусматривал разломку кирпичных сводов, перил и мостовой. В 1852 году мост вновь пришлось восстанавливать, так как из-за сильных морозов обвалилась штукатурка, а с парапетов похитили листовое железо. Последняя реконструкция прошла в 2004—2005 годах и вызвала много критики со стороны общества. Ремонтные работы проводились по волюнтаристски, а за невыполнение сроков реконструкции тогдашний губернатор В. Савченко на месте «уволил» прораба, руководившего работами. Плитку укладывали глубокой осенью 2004 года на намокший песок, разогревая его газовой горелкой. Тогда же были заложены отверстия для стока влаги на опорах моста.

Длина моста — около 30 метров. Имеет 3 пролёта, 2 столбы.

Some things to consider about poverty and getting a job.
I imagined red, pulsing faces when I read responses to a story I wrote about food insecurity this week.
"The way to obtain grocery money is simple. Get a job. It works. It's amazing. They pay you real money every two weeks!" one woman wrote in an anonymous email to our publisher, describing the story of a young mother struggling to afford food for her family as "nauseating."
This sentiment was more common than I anticipated — despite the story explaining that the woman, Dolecia Cody, takes care of her disabled child, does not own a car and lives in an area virtually absent of work opportunities.
Some of the vitriol made its way to Cody.
"I just can't believe the things people are saying about me and my kids. I never knew just how cruel people are," Cody later wrote in a message to me on Facebook, not in a text, because she doesn't have a cellphone.
If your reaction matched that of our anonymous commenter, I have a few things for you to consider.
THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT ANNOUNCED Monday it has received accreditation from the national Public Health Accreditation Board alongside eight others this month. According to testimony from Stratford Health Department in Connecticut, gaining accreditation has helped the agency focus on data-driven problem solving.
Before getting accredited, the department "often operated in a fly-by-the-seat-of-our-pants and putting-out-fires manner," the board's website reads.
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION pulled out of an educational tour aimed at helping people in Mississippi enroll for coverage under the Affordable Care Act, a move Mississippi Health Advocacy Program's Roy Mitchell called "sabotage," Vox reported this week.
MISSISSIPPI SENS. THAD COCHRAN AND ROGER WICKER hope a bill passed in the Senate that includes some of their own provisions will help seniors benefit from cost-effective telehealth by getting rid of reimbursement restrictions based on location. Read more.
WHILE FOOTBALL REMAINS in headlines for other reasons, a study released Sept. 19 suggests kids who begin playing tackle football before the age of 12 are more likely to develop mental and behavioral problems in adulthood than those who start later.
WEST NILE CASES in Mississippi for 2017 rose to 54, surpassing last year's number by 11, after three new cases were reported in Forrest, Hinds and Scott counties this week. Two people have died this year after contracting West Nile. Read about what it's like to live with the illness here.
GRAHAM-CASSIDY, the latest Affordable Care Act repeal effort from Sens. Lindsey Graham and Bill Cassidy, didn't seem to have a chance after being met with opposition from GOP Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, John McCain of Arizona, and Rand Paul of Kentucky.
OK, back to Cody and persistent poverty in the Delta and across Mississippi.
Community conditions: a decline of manual labor, particularly in manufacturing, and a general lack of work opportunities.
Exploitation: predatory businesses that provide goods or services but charge more than they're worth.
Political/economic structures: the shrinking middle class, recessions, a lack of financial services for low-income individuals, underfunded education, the residual effects of hundreds of years of slavery, disenfranchisement, Jim Crow, segregation and continued racism and discrimination.
The research says these are the causes of poverty that fall outside of an individual's control. But if you're still stuck on individual behavior, consider the research on the effect of poverty on the brain and why some seemingly poor decisions are more rational than you think.
It's also important to note that a person making minimum wage in a full-time job makes just over $15,000 a year, below the poverty line for a two-person household.
"That is the ultimate goal, but sometimes there's a process in getting there. You can't do that overnight ... They're giving a simple answer to a complex problem. And the world is not made up like that ... Sometimes, it takes as long to get out of poverty as it takes to get in there."
"We hear this from everybody, 'Folks just need to go get a job.' This young woman lives in one of the highest poverty areas in the state, in the nation, and has not benefited from good quality education that prepared her with the skills to attain employment that pays livable wages. This region of the state has been greatly impacted by job loss because of international trade agreements. At one point in time there were more jobs available for people with low skills."
"We work with women who want to work all the time. Access to transportation — it's a chicken and the egg thing; if you're going to get a job, you have to have transportation and you can't afford transportation if you don't have a job. If you're going to get a job, you've got to have access to childcare. It's like any other normal person who's got children and who goes to work, drops the kids off … If you don't make any money, it's hard to jump start that process … It's easy for somebody to sit back and say, 'Go get a job.'"
"Living in poverty is about juggling — it is about constant calculations: do we eat or do we pay the rent? Do we buy meds, or do we pay the electricity bill? 'Get a job! It's that simple!' But the reality is that it is not that simple. There are structural reasons why people are poor. Minimum wage, for example, does not provide a livelihood for families. It simply cannot. Childcare, food, transportation costs, health care, far outstrip a minimum wage paycheck. Add to that high unemployment, no jobs, especially in the Mississippi Delta, and you just can't make ends meet. For many, there is little way out. The opportunity structure is simply not there."
In understanding poverty, we can listen to experts and examine the research, but nothing takes the place of real stories from people like Cody, who has just about run out of options.
I'm left to believe some people just don't want to understand.
