  1. Whoa, I'm only three years behind on this one. Reading is a very urban looking city for being under 100,000. I like the place even though it has some issues. Bellefonte, plain and simple, is a Victorian gem. Love it. State College - even in the rain it's a Big Ten champ. And good to see old Eg in there. Thanks for the tour(s).

    Great tour. I was favorably impressed with Springfield when I visited a few years back. I missed that wall of old ads - a gem. The tall tower is the Springfield Municipal Group Campanile (Bell/clock tower) built in 1913. Great structure. Thanks for the pics.
  3. I know most wouldn't think so, but these pics look beautiful to me. Thanks for the tour.
  4. That was fun. Good to see the old stadium (while it lasts), though I haven't been there in over 30 years. Thanks for the tour.

    Glad this one came back up, missed it the first time. Some great old buildings, and a downtown that doesn't have a bunch of empty storefronts. Love the Clocktower. Kind of different to see the chimney going up through the dormer on this pic (with a window-like opening): Thanks for the tour.
  6. Whoa, some beautiful shots in there. Too many fun/lovely ones to pick out (OK, I'm a sucker for those sunset over the water pics). Looks like a good time was had by all, especially Clevelands own first mate, MayDay. Thanks for the tour.
  7. So much plywood used, looks like a huricane is coming. Sorry, shouldn't make light of a sad situation.

    Looks like some empty storefronts mixed in there, but the public buildings look pretty nice. Thanks for the tour ink.
  9. Very dramatic set of pics. I'm sorry for your family's loss. Thanks for sharing your trip with us.
  10. Not a bad looking town. Can't recall ever seeing pics of it before. Looks like some pretty nice old buildings there. Thanks.
  11. What a treat, and gotta feel love for Cleveland too. I know it ain't hip (especially from an old fart), but bravo MayDay, mad skills.
  12. I like it. A little rough around the edges in some pics, but certainly not snobbish or hip, just a small town gettin' along. Thanks for the tour.

    Ditto. It would be a shame to see such a place waste away. And if it had been a guess the city, I would never have thought of Ohio. btw, doesn't ColDay already have an ice box?

    Film use to be such fun. :laugh:

    Nice pic ColDay. Here's a pic of me (on the left with the cap) and my brother. Oh yeah, this was taken back in '76. (We're both old guys now. :-D)
  16. Whoa, that was a surprise. Great looking town, and in such good too. I love your tours of smaller places ink, thanks.
  17. Looks like a pleasant community, and as noted, in good shape too. Now that "I have eaton there once." reference, yikes. :wink:

    I thought it might be a joke of some kind, but the more I watched, the more he seemed to really be ...... different (and I don't mean that in a sexual way). At the end I just felt kind of sad and sorrow for the guy. Could be a lonely life for him. I hope he can find someone.

    My sentiments exactly. Dandy set of pics. A question about the first pic: just what is it he may do? :wink: :-D
  20. I love every one of those buildings in the 2nd pic. Thanks for the tour ink, good stuff.
  21. So they let you visit Cali eh? :wink: Beautiful set of pics. Quite the contrast in this one: Thanks for the Santa Cruz pics too (don't think I've seen that city before). Always fun ColDay, thanks.
  22. ^ What, no cheesecake? :wink: It seems most of the smaller Ohio cities have impressive courthouses. Good stuff, thanks.
  23. I agree, the library looks quite impressive. Thanks for the mini tour.
  24. Ex-Ithacan replied to a post in a topic in City Photos - USA/World
    Very nice tour. Love all the bricks and rows. If I recall correctly, ColDay's tour was quite as flattering. Still it was fun to see the city, thanks.
  25. Nice tour, and the city looks quite urban for a smaller city. Not exactly sure why, but this building(s) intrigues me: Thanks for the pics. :-)
