I agree. Even small cities deserve some promotion on here as well. How many on this forum would have ever heard about Scranton, PA if it weren't for my big fat yap (or "The Office" I suppose?) I never saw an image of Columbus, GA before, so I appreciate that member's work to post them for us. I also just saw images of Johnstown, PA for the first time when mams, another member, posted them about an hour ago. I love learning as much as I can about every city in this great country, big or small. I dream of Duluth and moan for Madison. I clamor for Charleston and envy Evanston. I adore Ann Arbor and gravitate towards Greenville. I lust for Little Rock and opine for Omaha. I've grown to love all of these cities through this forum and this forum alone; the Administrator has created an awesome message board! I can only hope I've made some people on this forum salivate for Scranton in similar fashion.
opine?
lol
also, I like Little Rock's skyline, the bright light names on the top floors add a much needed touch of urbanism in the night hours.
Look at page 6 - underneath the daytime shot of Springfield, MA is a nightime shot of Springfield, MO - that is NOT Springfield, MO!!! I lived there for 6 years and, unfortunately, Springfields' skyline is nowhere near the size of that nightime shot - maybe in a 100 years! Does anyone know what city that really is???
Does anybody know why AFLAC built their headquarters/building so far away from downtown Columbus? The building looks to be about 20 stories tall and really would have helped give a distinctive look to the skyline of Columbus. Currently, it looks as if the tallest building in downtown Columbus is the city administration building at about 13 stories. What a shame AFLAC didn't have more insight. Think of all the workers that would have been downtown and all of the revitilization that could have gone on - businesses, condos for many of those AFLAC workers, etc... It's not like they couldn't afford it! Columbus has an small, ugly skyline, especially for a metro area its size. There is great potential for this city though! Does anyone have a proper skyline shot of Columbus taken from Phenix City from across the Chatttahoochee River???
That's a pretty nice photo, picture quality-wise, but kind of industrial with that old factory and limited in view, skyline-wise. Being so low on the river limits that, though. I'm guessing it was taken looking southeast. Do you have any shots looking northeast that might show more of the buildings downtown to get a more true view of Columbus' skyline? Are there any buildings in Phenix City one can go in or any high vantage points one can get to that would allow for a decent shot to be taken of Columbus? Still, thanks for the effort.
