Like your variety of downtown subjects
2500 pop., a farm town. When we moved here, no signal lights, no town police etc and now nearly 26K and everything old has been replaced and we have more stop signs than cows.

Lol...jacklpine.....I should look up more history; if you look at the mural you see Main Street is lined with buildings on both sides; there was a fire that took out many of those buildings and many were not replaced. We have a short two blocks on Main street that was the hub of our City......now many of the new residents think Main Street is County Road 5 (where there has been new business growth) that runs north parallel to Main Street......

Morning Sher - I will take 19-21 (if still available) and ask for shots of hoggers 'Wild places' - photos like my Moor and Africa shots ... I just love looking at pics of your huge spaces. Of course these wild spaces could be areas of garden/farm too...these at this time of the year wildflowers abound too...
I put you down... Thanks so much

What Carriage Tour saw.
If you go look up history of the city of Charlottetown from the point when the site was picked to be the island capital, you will find that lots were very large compared to today. Homes were built to accommodate quite a few people.
Thus, houses near the harbour are large. I can't tell you all of these are privately owned and used.
& .....the fire fighters station.

Wow...the thing I noticed about the East Coast when I traveled there is the wonderful historical places...it has a totally different mood and feeling than the west where I have always lived and was raised in California. Love the fall colors especially! Post more thanks!!
Today went to the high school to see scholastic awards for my grand daughter. Took the opportunity to shoot a couple buildings Antique..
Here's one of my favs! Built 1857 -called italianate -style-had seven outback buildings-including: icehouse, fruit house, and carriage house.
All these houses are on the town green or close on Main St.-except the one above.
Over 200 yrs. old-Bishop Abraham Jarvis House-has a hidden compartment in the basement where slaves traveling the Underground Railroad reportedly stayed!
Built 1767-Governor Foote House.
Front door of Beach House-built mid 1700-Cheshire's primary gathering place for 100 yrs.

Some of my favorite scenes in my town of Lakewood,Ohio which is situated along Lake Erie, about 5 square miles in size with 51,000 population. It was built mostly in the late 1800s and 1900s with many fine homes of that period. We have history,too, an inlet by Lakewood park was a last "station" of the "Underground Railroad" where slaves were helped to escape across Lake Erie to Canada before the Civil War. If you would like to know more about my town go to http/wwwonelakewood.com.
