I've miss several days - due to LIFE (finishing projects), but I wanted to complete my theme Where I live. I live in Davenport , Iowa
Larry and I are from the South. In 1973 Larry was recruited to Iowa to teach at Davenport Central High School . For the last 35 years this is where we call home.
Davenport has a variety of neighborhoods dating back to the 1840s.[20] The city can be divided into five areas for neighborhoods. Downtown, central, east end, near north and northwest, and west end. The neighborhoods contain many architectural designs including Victorian, Queen Anne, Tudor Revival, along with others.[
Davenport's biggest labor industry is manufacturing, with over 7,600 jobs[26] with a vast majority of the jobs coming from the John Deere factory on the north edge of the city.
Some great hills in your town! It's so flat around here that that was the first thing that really struck me when I saw these. Nice shots, thanks so the tour!!
#3 looks like an old postcard. Pretty cool. And Brady looks really steep from that angle.
Oh, and I thought B.J. Palmer started WOC...learn something new every day.
So what is Larry going to do for the next 34 yrs? Get a camera and start blogging?
Great post - these are all such beautiful captures, but I think my favorites have to be 3 and 4! So interesting to read where other people are from! :) I might have to do something like this for my small town one time this summer!!
