Just a couple from Broad and 5th Streets in downtown Richmond:

Greater Richmond Convention Center ... At 700,000+ sf, it's Virginia's largest.

Miller and Rhoads (front right) is currently being turned into a 250 room Hilton with 140 condos.

Awesome, guys... nice convention center, coupe. 700,000+ sq. ft. is a VERY nice size.

Here are 3 more from Louisiana Boardwalk in Shreveport-Bossier:

Shaw Center in Downtown Baton Rouge

Wow, those buildings are great. They're a good example of modern architecture. I really like them. When were they built?

The brick building you see in the foreground of the last pic is the old Auto Hotel. It was build back in the 1920's. The glass building was built in 2003-04 and opened in March 2005.

Great photos Byrde. What a view. You can even see Tiger Stadium in the background to the right. The Shaw Center blends in well with the old State Capitol and it's modern architecture. The Shaw Arts Center has been good for the revitalization of downtown Baton Rouge.

Nice shots of the impressive Richmond and the premeir Louisiana Boardwalk.

Here's a shot of a walking trail leading up to the historic Legare-Waring House at Charles Towne Landing in Charleston. Aren't the oak trees simply majestic?

Awesome shots, Krazeeboi!
