The Last One - USS Badger out of Ludington, MI. The last large coal fired steamship in the US which continues an almost 100 year tradition of sailing car ferries out of Ludington (at one point the largest car ferry port in the World) Originally designed primarily for railroad cars, it now carries passenger cars, semi-trucks, and passengers and is entering into her 60th year on Lake Michigan.

Now an upscale shopping center, the Old Mill District in Bend, OR is easily identified by the smokestacks jutting from the REI building. Once home to two lumber mills, these smokestacks are an iconic Bend landmark.

The votes indicate that I won, but I don't see an official announcement, unless yours is it. I thought Poncho moderates this forum. Am I wrong? Anyway, if I did, thanks.
