Hope I'm doing this right as I have not hosted before...I may need someone to step in on Saturday as my son is on a 600 mile bicycle trip and I think we may head out to find him. This subject is dear to my heart because i am so curious about where everyone else lives. Basically, introduce us to your town...if you live in a very rural area then show us your neighborhood, favorite hang-outs, whatever is unique, different...or what really identifies your home town. If someone wanted to move there ...what sites would you show them?? Even just street shots will work...just try to give us a feel of where you live. Add a description on your posting..maybe some facts ....in any case..Have fun!! And Welcome to Anchorage, Alaska!

Jefferson City is the capital of the U.S. state of Missouri and the county seat of Cole County. A small portion of the city extends into Callaway County. It is the principal city of the Jefferson City metropolitan area, which encompasses the entirety of both counties. As of the 2010 census, the population was 43,079 making it the 15th largest city in Missouri. Jefferson City was named after Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States.

In 2013, Jefferson City was named America's "Most Beautiful" Small Town by Rand McNally.

Jefferson City is on the northern edge of the Ozark Plateau on the southern side of the Missouri River near the geographic center of the state, in a region known as Mid-Missouri. It is at the western edge of the Missouri Rhineland, one of the major wine-producing regions of the Midwest. The city is dominated by the domed Capitol that rises from a bluff overlooking the Missouri River to the north. Lewis and Clark passed beneath that bluff on their historic expedition upriver before Europeans established any settlement there

The second, third and fourth pictures are from the top of the Capital.

I like this subject. Laska always good to view the images from your home area.
My town is Washington Crossing...It is where Washington Crossed the Delaware River from PA to NJ to win the battle of Trenton during the revolutionary war.
This is the final resting place of some who fought and died and went unidentified...there is a lovely view of the river just beyond. Not a bad place to rest for eternity

The River plays a big roll in life around here.

Goodday RIVKA Thanks for this challenge should be fun.

In the early 1900’s the federal government with drew land from the Wind River Reservation, opened it to homesteading and Riverton was born, this year the EPA a federal bureaucracy (note non-elected officials) decided that never happened. Placing Riverton back on the reservation the lawsuits have just started, golly I love politics.

For those who are interested.

http://www.rivertonwy.gov/
duckduckgo or google Wind River Reservation
duckduckgo or google Fremont County Wyoming

A few photos from the archives may get some new ones.

My daughter visiting last Thanksgiving this sign is located west of Riverton so if you are driving in from Yellowstone or Teton parks you pass it.

Why does it say Rendezvous City the site of the last fur trading Rendezvous in the Wind River Mountains is here
