EDIT:

i almost forgot..... here's a hometown fellow:



Brown University and RISD



and the state capitol

Adlington:



One of several churches in a really small village. This one has been converted into a tool-hire shop.

This was the whole town in 1914:



Another church:



The other church, slightly down the road from the above one:



Another...you've guessed it...church.



This is a church that used to exist...



And this is the other church that is now an Indian restaurant/takeaway.Excellent food, i know everyone there cos my family are in so often.



Lots of churches in my village.

It's essentially 2 roads between Chorley and Bolton, with a few houses and churches between those roads.

My city:
Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, Germany

gee, it's not everyday I hear that song. Wait, it is.

And really, I live in Parma, about 10 miles from Cleveland, but I can't find any pictures.

Albuquerque Stadium, formerly Dukes Stadium, now home of the Isotopes (whee... )



Balloon Fiesta



Aerial shot of downtown



Nob Hill (a neighborhood in ABQ) - the general hooker area. Used to live at the uni about 6 blocks west of that intersection. The tattoo shop where I got my first tattoo and my tongue piercing is on the corner of the intersection that isnt showing.

And that's all I feel like looking up right now.

Moon over Parma, bring my love to me tonight
Brought her to Cleveland underneath your silvery light
We're going bowling, so don't lose her in soulland
Moon over Parma, tonight.

Long exposure photos...

Me an' my buddy Flip, overlooking the San Fernando Valley at night...


Another shot o' the valley, a little washed out from a nearby street light, showing the fires we had a couple months ago...



And here's a shot of the Valley during the day... not mine, though, and not quite sure which part of the Valley this was taken from...



If any o' you ever saw Three Days in the Valley... don't believe anything you saw. That movie is bull and shit. The Valley's a rather boring place... except for the porn. Chatsworth is, indeed, the porn capital of the universe. If you saw Boogie Nights... that was a little more accurate.

Since Deptford is about as uninteresting a place you can imagine, here's some pics of Philadelphia:



Independence Hall, birthplace of the United States.



Philadelphia skyline from the University of Pennsylvania campus.



View down the Ben Franklin Parkway, towards City Hall. Fun fact: until 1987, a "gentleman's agreement" prevented any building in Philadelphia from being taller than William Penn's hat on the top of city hall's tower. This has the unintended benefit of sparing the city from the horrible plague of glass crackerbox skyscrapers that afflicted the rest of the country in the postwar era.



Philadelphia Museum of Art. Another fun fact: in order to prevent the city from cutting his funding before the building was finished, the builder had the wings built first, then the central temple, figuring not even Philadelphia City Council would leave the museum with two disconnect wings. He was very nearly proven wrong.

Also, the collection is fantastic. Well worth an entire afternoon.



Pat's King of Steaks and Geno's Steaks, on opposite corners of 9th and Passyunk.



The Ben Franklin Bridge, connecting Philadelphia to Camden, NJ. One of Philadelphia's architectural treasures.





Two more images of the bridge, just because I like it so much.



Philadelphia City Hall.

Apparently Columbus will need to be cooler looking before I bother.

Born and raised in Albany, Oregon (about 40,000 people).

There aren't a lot of pictures up of my hometown, though there're probably some pictures out there of Belmont Racetrack that I can't find.

As compensation, I instead present a bit of good old New York City.

Rockefeller Center

Times Square

Central Park

Images of Pima County Courthouse


Tucson Medical Center

This is the hospital where I work. The main hospital is all on one floor because the people who originally built it didn't want to block anyone's view. Needless to say, this means I walk a lot every night at work.

A crapy picture of downtown Tucson. Someplace I only go by accident or for jury duty.



This is just the outside portion of the museum. The Titan missile museum is associated with the museum plus there's still the boneyard at Davis Monthan Air Force Base that you can take tourgs of. It's pretty cool just driving past it..



This is the family dog, Remington, up at Rose Canyon Lake on Mt. Lemmon which is just outside of Tucson. I doubt it looks like this now since the big fires last summer.

Scarborough, wonderful little seaside town. Population: 70,000, IIRC.

Well, I'm in Merritt Island, which has all kinds of interesting things around it.


Merritt Island Airport (KCOI)


This is where I live... j/k. Florida Wildlife Refugee (which happens to be sitting next to......)


The Kennedy Space Center


NASA's Vehicle Assembly Building... huge, I'll find the specs later.

*mumbles something about screwing up url tags and dressing links*
Shows Merritt Island and the like, great arial photos, but focuses on Kennedy Space Center
