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.

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.

Quite nice shots, like the mirror. If you do a shot like that with a cop car and flashers running, you' better pull over

Yeah I do too, as long as they pass north of us.
Be on I-90 Sunday or Monday, I'll wave as I go by. On my return trip I'll drop down to Rt.6
Amazing and unnerving photos!
Colorado is so beautiful, as are your photos, and we are looking forward to getting back there in a couple of weeks. We will mainly be in the San Luis Valley for the summer.
Great photos made even better by those cool edges!
Thank you for the welcome! I doubt I will have time to join in but I really have enjoyed all the wonderful photos.
We are in an RV park where we have lots of friends and play lots of music. I am off to a jam now.
Laska, what a great job as hostess with the mostest and an interesting look around the country and even the world. My town is still pretty rural - population in 2010 = 4,281. At one time, this part of Maine was a territory of Massachusetts. No matter how long you live here, if you weren't born here, you aren't a "native" - even if you were born in another New England state. Yes, there are those who substitute "h" sound for "r" (we drive cahs, and pahk them in the dooryard). People here don't have strokes; they have "shocks". They don't go to the lake or cottages for vacations, they "go to camp" (until I learned this, I wondered what summer camp these adults were going to!) We are about 25 minutes from Portland, Maine's largest city, 20 minutes to the ocean and 30 -45 minutes to mountains and 45 minutes from LL Bean - a famous, historic Maine outdoor company made famous by their hunting boots.
Most folks in my neighborhood don't sit around in yellow slickers, rocking in a chair, showing off their LL Bean boots...
Nor do we eat seafood or lobster for every meal.
Our town was incorporated in 1798
We have 2 libraries - this one is famous because of Kate Douglas Wiggins author or"Rebecca of Sunny Brook Farm" - her former home is about 2 miles from my house.
Library #2 - both fully operational with lots of programs,
Our main store (a supermarket 4 miles down the road) and a pizza joint and mechanic on many corners.
And there are quite a few churches too.
