Nashville

Nashville, as seen from the historic Shelby Avenue Bridge.

I like this shot, even though it doesn't show the AT&T building's distinctive silhouette. It has it all-newer, modern buildings (the AT&T and the Bridgestone Arena), as well as the classic 1957 vintage Life and Casualty Building (with it's neon "L&C" sign on the top.) But, you can also see a corner of historic Broadway, and the vintage storefronts along 1st Avenue North. It represents both sides of Nashville's personality-the modern, efficient city of tomorrow and the rowdy, countrified town of yesterday.

#36 Broadway

This is the destination board on an old Chicago bus from the fifties or sixties.I like taking pictures of the destination boards of old trolleys and buses-they're kind of poetic in their own way and are a neat detail. But this one is a personal favorite-I used to take the #36 Broadway when I lived on the Far North Side. It's still a regular route today.
