Sorry, I don't want to screw up the "Photo of the Day" format here, but I thought you guys might enjoy a little comparison photo. Here's basically the same shot I took during that massive flood last year. July 29, 2004, I believe.

Thanks gsupstate!

Is that from behind the Poinsett? I'm not sure I've been back there before. I guess I need to explore more.

[gsupstate]

Yes, right behind the Westin, where they just built Poinsett Corners. Feels very dense and urban.

If you think that area feels that way. Then go to Camperdown between River St. and Main. That's coming along really nicely.

I agree with you Majikman! Riverplace is creating the density found in much larger cities.

Nice! I see you wasted no time in getting today's up there

That is a great picture of the Landmark Building, but I must say that it is not a very pleasing building on the outside. I guess it is a product of the bland '60's architecture, yes?

Nice one pacersfan

I figured the weekends might have a more popular response than the weekdays. I went downtown yesterday to gather a few new images myself. I must say I was a little disapointed to see I got beat out this morning.

I just have to share this. I was sitting at the bar in the front window of Meadors having lunch yesterday. Admiring the detail in the windows of the Poinsett. There were families walking around, some coming in for lunch. Many just walking around, looking up, looking around. Generally admiring Main Street.

When I was walking over the bridge, I hard one man comment "this is a beautiful park" not just casually, but with a genuine surprise. It was obviously his first time in the park, and as it unfolded in front of him, it wasn't what he expected.

It was a beautiful day. Had to wait out a passing shower, but otherwise sunny.

What a town
