December 31, 20177 yr Great pics. I always love seeing the small towns with great buildings and quaint downtowns. Mingo Junction needs some help.
January 1, 20187 yr Every single town in the Ohio Valley deserves to be a bright, bustling tourist destination. Maybe one day... “To an Ohio resident - wherever he lives - some other part of his state seems unreal.”
January 2, 20187 yr Great stuff. These are like before photos for Newark, which looks much improved with the comprehensive streetscape rebuild.
January 14, 20187 yr Really good set. I love your choice of black and white for Lexington's 5th/3rd tower shot. Also must say Cincinnati really does have a beautiful skyline but while looking at the set I took a while to try and figure out the easiest, most economical way to paint the handles on the Longaberger basket building. Doing a little research I did not know the building was sold off and now is unoccupied.
January 14, 20187 yr I like the simple and direct "EAT" sign in Maysville. There used to be one at Fuller's Restaurant in Hampton, VA, that was even more to the point: "EAT DIRT CHEAP", it said. Remember: It's the Year of the Snake
January 14, 20187 yr I believe EAT is actually an art gallery or store. They used to advertise at the Esquire Theater in Clifton.
January 25, 20187 yr ... while looking at the set I took a while to try and figure out the easiest, most economical way to paint the handles on the Longaberger basket building. Doing a little research I did not know the building was sold off and now is unoccupied. I was going to ask what will happen with the basket building but that answered my question. That thing will be a challenge for a realtor to rent out unless outside renovation is part of a rental contract.
February 11, 20187 yr Every single town in the Ohio Valley deserves to be a bright, bustling tourist destination. Maybe one day... Agreed. If only it was more temperate here in Ohio.... it's hard to be a year round tourist destination with four seasons. ColDayMan, excellent set! Hard to look at these photos without being astonished by how well Lexington is doing (UK + bluegrass country does wonders for the downtown economy), amazed by what places like Stubenville were, and hopeful looking at places like Georgetown OH.
