Your city/town/neighborhood

[matt1168]

Post a picture of an area near where you live, in your city, town, or even neighborhood, so that we can all see what your areas like!

Here's some from not too far from me:



A typical city neighborhood.



Just a couple of blocks from downtown. The city has a habit of demolishing abandoned buildings, leaving vacant lots all over the city.



Along Atlantic Avenue in downtown. Atlantic Avenue is one of the city's major streets.



A common street scene in Philadelphia, where I grew up and I still visit my father often.


Feel free to post your own pics and descriptions!

Is that diner on the left any good? It looks like one of those "small town diners" that everyone says is good.

Herpa,
That's a large library for a small city!!!

I haven't gone there yet, but everyone has been telling me how good it was. I like the friendly service that you get a diners in small towns/cities. For example, near Christmas a couple of years ago one diner in the city was handing out free stuffed animals to all of the small children who ate there. It's kind gestures like that which make you want to come back again and again...

Herpa,

Yes, this city used to be much larger around the time that the library was built. The factories providing most of the employment closed down decades ago and many people left. However, population is expected to boom soon when a new brigade of approx. 5,000 soldiers is formed at Fort Drum (approx.7 miles north of Watertown). Along with the new brigade comes 56 new choppers .

These pictures aren't mine, but they're the best I can find:


This is part of the Mid-Levels, a
residential district just minutes
away from the city centre on
Hong Kong Island.


My apartment block is among the taller clump of
buildings on the right side of the picture, but is
obscured by the buildings in front which block
the view.


This is a photo taken from a nearby
building just down the road from
where I live.


Here is a view of the neighbourhood from the top of the mountains behind.

And the same view by night:


If you watched Tomb Raider 2, you would probably have caught a glimpse of the road I live on.
