Cool shot of the cyclists. And 'Wealthy Street' is quite an interesting name. I'd love to know the history behind the naming of that street.

Nice pic. I was curious if the Wealthy Theatre in an old building or is it a newer building that has some older styles to it?

[Mith242]

Okay one more springtime pic before everyone gets tired of my reptitive theme here. But this time I've gotten away from the historical buildings. Here some more tulips at the Fayetteville Public Library.

Nice fountain Michi. I wish there were more fountains in my city.

[ZachariahDaMan]

ZachariahDaMan, any ideas how old that house is?

Nope, no idea, sorry.

The Wealthy Theatre was actually built in 1911:

The name Wealthy has nothing to do with money. A merchant by the name of Jefferson Morrison named two Grand Rapids' streets, one for himself (Jefferson Street) and the other after his wife, Wealthy Morrison (no joke).

Sounds like her mother had big hopes for her, like Mrs. Smith naming her son or daughter Doctor Smith.

Thanks for the history; it's always good to learn about cities in other regions.

I found this tight shot of Atlanta online.

Everyone in the north should just give up and move south......today.

Nice shot, I like the reflection off the dome.

Based on that picture alone? J/K.

The Providence skyline from Portsmouth, RI, across Narragansett Bay. The distance is somewhere around fifteen miles. This view will change quite a bit in the next couple years, as the city's new tallest will be built between the two tallest towers, and the Westin Hotel (brick tower to the left) will get a slightly taller second tower. If you look closely, the yellow crane is just visible immediately to its right.

Nice pic Gusterfell, it almost seems like a painting.

Nothing against fountains, here is my contribution from my trip to Charlotte.

From a distance, Atlanta's 3 tallest towers look exactly the same.

From this angle, New Orleans doesn't even look American.

[Mith242]

Yeah it does have a European look from that angle. Nice pic Nate.

That's what I love about New Orleans. I've got a photo of New Orleans that I've always thought had a European look to it. I may have posted that one in the set I posted on the New Orleans board recently.

Cool pic, Nate.
