Something unique...

[Timmay]

I was just wondering if anything like this has been posted in here before.  What I was thinking of is, could or would you all be interested in posting up a picture of something unique about your town or city?  If it is possible, maybe post a picture of you standing next to or near the choosen object or place?  This could be one of your towns "hidden treasures".  I think it would be fun to get to know a little more about where you all live. Along with the picture, you could add a caption or two with the picture telling us all about your subject and the history of it.

So are you all game??

I would love to do this, will just have to find something cool in my town. I know Bing Crosby is from Spokane but he is dead...Give me a couple few weeks and I can. I have lots of cool pics of me at cool places but that doesnt count, or does it?

I would be game for this, but I am from Oshawa ON, Canada. And unless you want me to post a picture of a crack deal on a side street, there is not much unique about Oshawa lol. At least in the south end where I am from. Thats why people call it "The Dirty Shwaaa!" In Oshawa We call Coffee Time "Crack Time!" LOL Jokes!

Im sure you all can find something from your hometown.

We have one stoplight in our town.  It's on a pole in the middle of the road.  You can see a pic here:

Be careful when pulling a trailer and making a turn around it.  It's been hit many times.

When making a left turn, there's always the question of whether to cut in front of it or go around.  Going around is proper if you ask me.  I don't like the people who cut in front of it.

the first picture is me and some friends under a road in Richmond. The James River runs through Richmond, and runs under sections of the city. There is a "River Walk" that goes a part of the length through downtown. That section we took pictures at used to be an entrance to sewer lines during the 20's-30's.

The second picture (i took it, does that count?) is a friend of mine jumping into the James River from a footbridge that connects the mainland to an island in the river called Belle Isle. The bridge is suspended below a highway that crosses the James. Its about 300 feet above the river.

Belle Isle has been a Powhatan fishing village, a colonial-era race horse track, slave quarters, a Civil War prisoner camp, and the location of a Hydroelectric dam/plant that used to power the trolley trains (since abandoned. makes for really good photos).
