Cities with a square, a main street, or an intersection...
Just two quick observations from today: Westerville- main street Worthington- square by intent, but in reality more main street Correct me if I'm wrong; I really have no familiarity with either place other than passing through briefly. Also... not from today, and really of no consequence, but the village of Sunbury in Delaware County is a square town.

Cities with a square, a main street, or an intersection...
I think sometimes the distinction between "main street" and "intersection" can be blurred a bit. I would agree that Delaware, for instance, probably does belong in the "main street" catergory, but there definitely is a central intersection where property values are highest. Interestingly, this is not the intersection of the north-south main street with either of the two east-west through roads (even though one is called Central Ave), but rather the intersection with the street between these two. Also noteworthy is that the county courthouse is not at the central intersection but instead a block away. A professor said that is common (after all, let something that pays property taxes occupy the high-value property); Summit Street or someone else who's been to all these towns can either verify or dispute that. Sorry if I start going on about Delaware too much, but the city is largely the laboratory for a class this semester, so I'm learning too much about it.

Are those flowers in the street? I can't quite tell what I'm looking at.

Where did you find Urbanohio????
So when is the Urbana party girls section going to be added to this site? As for me, I think a google image search for Cincinnati skyline photos got me to cincinnatiuprise.com, and I believe it was when you were just beginning the urbanohio.com site, so I followed your link and found this. But then I sort of forgot about it, and a little while later I first discovered SkyscraperPage independently (that discovery was somehow related to SimCity), which led me back here.

A few crappy pictures of Portsmouth murals
Let me first apologize for the quality of these pictures. In addition to not even attempting to take "good" pictures, I noticed after the fact that the lens on my camera had a big fat smudge which seems to have messed up a lot of these photos. Oh well. Of course, this is pretty much pointless because all the murals can be seen on the official website, but I'll just post my dumb pictures anyway. So here are a few random murals and miscellaneous things nearby. The sinful town of Alexandria feels God's wrath Civil War, churches, firemen and policemen.. Here's a series showing Portsmouth in 1903- trying to stitch these things together just mutilated the town Somethingorother... Hooray for shoes! Hooray for football! Wrath of God again. "Say, why don't we build a wall?" Look out! Hippies! You know what would go great with that shoe manufacturing panel...? This seems to depict the war memorial which orbits the Earth in space The last panel... And now a few miscellaneous things: I think this display is older than I am. D'oh! They forgot to put a building behind this facade! I think someone must have asked for that door... And finally, nothing says "antiques" like a shifty-looking rat wearing a vest and boots but no pants.

Dayton: Reynolds and Reynolds building to be demolished, clock tower to be moved
Yeah, I think it should be downtown, too. Putting it in Huber Heights would suck.
