Woodstock, IL McHenry County Seat -Historic Square, with a park inside the square. No sidewalk along the edge of the park, just a few paths going through it.

Other businesses line the streets around the square and branch off into nearby streets as well. -Random fun fact: The movie Groundhog day was filmed on Woodstock square ////////////////// Ottawa, IL -LaSalle County Seat -Abraham Lincoln had the first debate with that other famous dude here. ////////////////// Morris, IL -Grundy County Seat

Hazleton, PA + Wilkes-Barre, PA
Hazleton, PA -Population ~25,000 -Luzerne County -Proof that not all Pennsylvania cities are fully intact. -Historically a mining city ________________________________ Wilkes-Barre, PA -Luzerne County Seat -Population ~41,000 -Usually listed second with Scranton in a ~500,000 metro area. I'm giving it second billing in the thread to the lowly Hazleton because right in the center of the city they have crosswalks that only change to allow walk if somebody presses the request button…and some of the time those didn't even work.

Photo: Trying to identify some abandoned rail cars near Chippewa Lake, OH
Looking on the pictures on the museum's site, my guess is that it is this: http://www.trainweb.org/norm/roster/NOTL_1519.htm Or at least that is the closest match I could find.

This train was probably moved to here, so knowing the line won't be too much help. CSX CL&W subdivision. (I think previously part of the B&O line from Cleveland and Lorain to Wheeling.)

Greensboro, NC
Greensboro, NC 1900 population ~10,000 1950 population ~74,000 Today the population is quite a bit more, but it really isn't relevant to the downtown size, so I'm just using the 1900/1950 numbers for NC cities. Currently the third largest in North Carolina. Has an historical marker sign that said Vicks Vaporub was invented 150 yards north of the sign. In a region big on textile manufacturing.

Well, the birds seem to like the waterfall thing.

Rich Blocks, Poor Blocks
Not as low as tract 29 in Lucas County... or 1098.01 in Cuyahoga.

Great Falls, Montana
I like it when a town that makes me get a map of some random state to find out where it is has a county courthouse better than the Ohio capitol.
-
Billings, Montana
I'm thinking this building and the Knoxville Marriott should both be moved to the Toledo waterfront. Time to revive our greatest asset.

Cincinnati: Urban Grocery Stores
One strange aspect of all the former-suburbanites moving into an urban area, is they haven't realized yet that you don't need to fill a huge cart up of groceries every trip. / Anyways, how about Whole Foods...They put stores into urban areas in other cities, couldn't they in Cincinnati?
