pg 5 - Almshouses were homes provided mostly for the older folk who have fallen on hard times by funds left in trust by wealthier landowners/merchants to allow said folk to stay within 'their' community. Ours are now mostly run by trustees and one has had to live in the neighbourhood and have fallen below a certain income / have lost one's home to apply to live therein.

Praying for your daughter in law - hoping her pain is being controlled and she is more comfortable.

Great photos RR. The prep of the marina (second to last) looks like the mob getting ready to eliminate the competition.

St-Romuald-des-Etchemins. My fave. Sad news though, the City of Lévis decided to take all the small villages under its wing around here however I still live in St-Jean-Chrysostome back up from St-Romuald and we are still small villages but only pay our taxes in Lévis

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.

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!

We live in a small rural community. Platteville, Colorado is one of the oldest community's in Weld County, once the hunting grounds of Nomad tribes and Cheyenne Indians. Founded in 1871 and is located on the east bank of the South Platte river. We have a population of 2,485. Our elevation is 4,813ft and we have views of the Rocky Mountains to the west and vast plains to the east.
