Sounds very interesting.<br /><br />rick, there's some interesting stuff out there, but the old sculpted stone facades are really nice.<br /><br />mark, I always enjoyed going into the "city" when I was a kid, too. Mine was Albany, NY. You can imagine my amazement when I got the real "CITY" NYC.

We decided to take a 3 mile trek down Michigan Avenue at midnight during a heavy, swirling snowstorm. The Magnificent Mile was deserted at that hour and foot deep in fresh, untracked snow. By the time we reached the South bank of the Chicago River, our outerwear had proven to be inadequate against the fierce Chicago winds, our feet were cold and wet, but looking up at the spires of the illuminated Wrigley and Tribune towers as the snow fell was a truly magical experience. <br />Thanks for the photos.Dean Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03317311364315454284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-89954188704174145752011-01-11T05:45:35.519+01:002011-01-11T05:45:35.519+01:00Thank you, Walt!

Every now and then, we would have to travel to "The City", Harrisburg to buy something. Seeing a four story building amazed me. I think I would have had a heart attack seeing 42 floors at eight years old.<br />Beautiful photo.<br />Your Friend, m.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01049586061176648341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-85455524694015321262011-01-10T11:57:17.365+01:002011-01-10T11:57:17.365+01:00I long for the days when we constructed ornate bui...I long for the days when we constructed ornate buildings.
