And in some cities, that seems to be <i>all</i> there is. This photo reminds me a lot of the one I posted in v.20 of the Urban theme, and Bethlehem, PA is one of those places that's full of Dundas Streets.<br /><br />And in some places, the "jewel of the night" is, by the cold light of day, just a rock. Maybe a pretty rock, but just a rock. Which is sort of where I was going with this offering:<br /><a href="http://mojo11.blogspot.com/2009/09/thematic-photographic-67-urban-v40.html" rel="nofollow">Thematic Photographic 67: "Urban" v.4.0 - The Difference Between Night and Day</a>Mojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03498213932233245032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-78635170157744212102009-09-20T23:26:04.858-04:002009-09-20T23:26:04.858-04:00Oh I love this photo.

If enough people are willing to see it though...it will work again someday.<br /><br />Our tiny town has had a revival of sorts. A gov't grant helped renew the downtown square, which brought in new business (which, thankfully, kept with the theme of yesteryear).

Landmarks I'd judged turnings by (for the past two years) obliterated.<br /><br />It's all very disorientating and not at all easy.<br />I have "views" on all this....kinda love/hate really.<br />Just a shame the original folk are nt around to be a part of the new stuff....theMuddledMarketPlacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12153750055087770871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-48830319467954924792009-09-20T13:43:52.679-04:002009-09-20T13:43:52.679-04:00The narrow houses are rather charming.
