My Town

[ishte]

Just too many pictures to steal them... Any of you who want to see my hometown inner city in all it's ugliness and beauty, take a look at the shots this guy has been taking right at the street level from his bike. It's awesome, that he takes pictures of more than just the 'culturally pretty' things and actually takes pictures of things that are literally interesting. http://realdaytonohio.blogspot.com/

He certainly caught the depressing ugliness with the uplifting beauty found in surprising spots.

Thanks for the link to your hometown. I love seeing new places. It looks very quaint if a little bit scary. The power lines are really low and close to the homes and the lack of storm drains very odd. I love seeing all of the old houses, though.

These are the old inner city neighborhoods he's photographing. Some of those areas are very rough now, but some of them are still largely just middle class neighborhoods. I didn't notice that there weren't any storm drains. Now I'll have to go back and look! hahha... Yes yes there are too storm drains! hahaha... in some neihborhoods they are flat to the street though, rather than built into the curb. Especially in the hilly areas.

I'm glad you enjoyed looking though.

Just to clarify... uh... that was ME that said that... I forgot I was logged into Edward's gateways_2_dawn account. And BTW, gateways_2_dawn is only on it's third day in story time. just FYI. We need more people. Really.
