New Category Proposal


Recommended Posts

Opening or inauguration, are terms used when a public office, a business, private association or other have the official opening of a new location. Usually when this happens a party is promoted to have a opening/inauguration ceremony and normally someone important or famous is invited to make the opening/inauguration, and to mark the date is placed a small monument or a plaque that usually says something like for example:

 

THE BUILDING

OPEN (or) INAUGURATED BY

THE PRESIDENT

MICKEY MOUSE

1/1/1928

 

I find it fascinating to discover those, and see who was the person who opened /inaugurated and when it was.

I think would make a interesting category.

 

Here are some examples that I have photographed:

This is a interesting one because it was inaugurated on June 24, 1996 by the Mayor of the Portuguese city of Guimarães (Today he his still the Mayor but this year is the last) and the Mayor of the Spanish city of Igualada (He was the Mayor from 1995 to 1999).

Sorry for my english.

What happened to this category? Did it not pass the peer review? How is it that only one member bothered to comment on this post yet more than a few commented in the peer review about the lack of discussion in the forums. Seems to me that the opportunity was there and no one took it.
