Wonderful work, Jim. I see all sorts of stories oo... (show quote)
Thanks very much for your reply and info, Tom. Would love to visit Amelia Island but at our age don't know if that will happen. We used to visit the southeast when I first retired and loved the Carolina's, Georgia and along the Alabama coast...many beautiful areas. As you can imagine, wished I took many more photos then I did...especially along Natchez Trace. Oh well, the memories are still there!!

Wow, I’m loving this small town series, Jim. When I viewed your “main street” set, I was wondering about the homes in the community. I wasn’t expecting these beauties. Beautifully done.
Many thanks, Joe, for your nice comments. For those of us of a certain age, these little gems hold a lot of charm and character not seem in todays construction. May have a few more to post just for grins!!

Lovely old ladies. In #5, not only the nice front porch, but the mirror arch above it is very nice.

I used to be big in motorcycling....particularly long distance stuff....the longest trip was 2400 miles in parts of 10 different States. On one lesser length trip, I rode the entire length of the Natchez Trace...starting in Natchez and ending in Nashville, TN. Along that stretch, I saw countless huge corn fields. At one point, I parked the bike and walked a little ways on the original Trace that the slaves would use. That trip was in 2005.

Really nice set of series on small towns and the things that make them unique. Love the different architectural styles in both the business and private dwellings. This latest series looks like a lot of Eduardian style homes that were popular around the late 19th century and early 20the century. Not as fancy as Victorian but a lot more solid looking. Lots of Victorian homes in my part of the woods.
How old is Mt Pleasant?

We did Natchez along with the full Blue Ridge Parkway in the spring of 1989. Great trip...also went to Oak Alley and the island where Tabasco sauce is made...escapes me now. We were driving a new F250 Powerstroke with a 11 foot Lance cabover camper. Went all the way down to Key West and had a Jimmy Buffet "Cheeseburger" and kicked some of Hemmingway's cats off the porch to get in for the tour. We circled the U.S. on that trip. When we got home, I hunted mule deer in five states and the next year went to Alaska for the first time on a 24 day backpack hunt. Came home from that trip and hunted those five states again for elk and deer. A flood of memories typing this. America has been berry berry good to me...to quote an old baseball player!!
