Second and Gaines

2008.10.06
The first view of Davenport

A newly erected signage

Traveling on you see 3rd street. The red brick building once was a bakery.. Now it's a bar

This fit the our theme of Street Walking(er)

The building in the backgroud was the tallest building in our city.

Had to post this for all the CUB fans. They lost. I think they'll keep the W up. Wait'lll next year!

Our bench!!

Oldbabe and I took another little Trek.

This time we were at 2nd and Gaines. The view we saw coming across the bridge brought me to tears. The Standard Hotel was in shambles, the downtown area was very dirty and I was crying. Now they are trying to restore the area.

missleah these are all really nice! I really like #2, #5, and #7. and I have to give 'props' to the Cubs flag in #5 (being from Chicago and all, lol). The colors in that one and this last one give me a very fall feel.

KerBear That guy in number 4 looks like he is on a mission... and just as I wrote that I realized the second comment you got said the exact same thing hahaha! It's so sad to see nice areas just fall apart... at least they are trying to do something about it!!... Another great set! Well done! :)

pzf64 Great set ~ love that you guys are doing this! It's a great way to capture all the different parts of the city. I especially like your lunch bench :o)

mowestlan You two are fantastic! Love the pic of the man walking--sort of puts the workday stress into a clear reality, doesn't it?

photopoet It's so hard to see areas get down on their heels. This is fun seeing parts of Davenport.
