Dunno why I bother w/description. Am someone who takes pictures a lot, often focusing on architecture, old signs and old ads, Americana artifacts, and retail related things. And I love old video games. he/him

Railroad underpass icicles strike again in Chicago. I saw this last night, as I was biking on Halsted. This was at Erie and Halsted, before I get a million questions asking me where this was at.....

You don't need choose between bright & glassy or dark & moody & neony, as Canal Place offers both in one package. It's anchored by Saks, has mostly upscale shops, food court, offices, & Westin Hotel connected upstairs. DEFINITELY take elevator 5th floor, you'll get great New Orleans views.

Lafayette Cemetery Number 2, New Orleans. Didn't want to do guided tour see one(St Louis Cem. Nmbr. 1 already doesn't let you enter, unless on guided tour), so I picked one that doesn't require being on a tour. Was good choice, & wasn't overran w/tourists. This cemetery has 3 sections over 3 blocks

Walgreens and CVS neon signs, both on Canal Street in New Orleans. I unfortunately screwed up and somehow forgot to take CVS neon sign pics during the day, but ah well. Looking forward sharing the NO pics that came out well, from this trip. And still dealing w/my pic backlog from other trips...

Never visit Summit and other SW side neighborhoods often enough. But coming back from Springfield(IL) recently on train, I got off 1 stop early(Summit) so I could go Weber's Bakery. I should go to southwest side much more often. I realize I like Garfield Ridge, & should explore Brighton Park further

Pics I got from the April 2024 solar eclipse, at Reeder Park in Montezuma, IN. I liked its setting on Wabash River, was within 100% totality, plus I worried how congested roads would be if we went nearer Indy. #solareclipse

I think this was the best small town enclosed mall I've seen in a long time. Even has working fountain! Shame Bath and Body Works moved out 1 month after visit nearby strip mall(Dec. 2024, moved in Jan. 2025), as it was nice to see an old look B&BW once again. Cross County Mall, Mattoon, Illinois
