Southern Photos of the Day

[krazeeboi]

I like the statue in front of the museum. What does it depict and what type of museum is the Chrysler Museum?

Thanks richyb83. The Louisiana Capitol is certainly distinguishable.

A unique piece of art on Main Street in Columbia:

It was Independence Day, so that would explain the lack of pedestrians.

That giant chain is awesome! Looks like it's linking the buildings with a greenspace in between. Nice touch and nice photo!

Some buildings in downtown Texarkana, USA... on the Texas side of the line...

And a bonus... an old bell in front of the building at right in the photo above...

Thanks SBCmetroguy. Does Texarkana span the Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas borders?

I'm not Brian but I can answer that. It spans Arkansas and Texas. The Post Office sits on the line so technically it's in both states.

Cool. Thanks.

Yep, and the "ana" stands for Louisiana, simply because it's part of the Ark-La-Tex region and really close to Louisiana, even though it only touches 2 of the 3 states. There's a monument across the street rom this building which flies the Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and United States flags. The city of Texarkan straddles Texas and Arkansas, but is within only a few miles of both Louisiana and Oklahoma as well.

It's a charming little city... well, 2 cities with a combined population of 60,000-70,000 people.

Thanks for those pictures, Brian! Texarkana is a great city, I've always enjoyed it.

Yep, I believe the 2000 census population for Texarkana was around 64,000.

Guess I thought it was a little bigger than that. I thought the Texas side was quite a bit bigger than the Arkansas side.

From the beautiful Rock Quarry Garden, in the heart of the city of Greenville:

Nice pics everyone! Krazeeboi did you check out the link that I posted about the Chrysler museum?

[Hankster]

Here's some pictures of the Chattanooga's TVA complex which is home to more than 3,000 downtown employees!

Also in this picture is the Marriott Convention Center Hotel.

It is larger, but not by a substantial amount. I believe the Arkansas side is below 30,000 people and the Texas side is nearing 40,000.

Another "old to new" shot from the French Quarter, looking towards downtown:

I love this shot of the French Quarter and downtown New Orleans!

[krazeeboi]

Nice pics everyone! Krazeeboi did you check out the link that I posted about the Chrysler museum?

Yeah I did; thanks.

Great pics Sky and Hankster. Hankster, that looks to be a pretty big Marriott, considering Chattanooga's size; I like it.

Nice shot, Nate!

The Avalon Fishing Pier, Kill Devil Hills, NC

I caught 17 fish that day

^Cool photos, Tommy. Kill Devil Hills is definitely a place I don't see much of... and I've always been intrigued by its name.

The Mighty Mississippi River at Vicksburg, Mississippi:

Very cool, man, thanks! I would have seen that exact same view (and taken a photo) this weekend, but Vicksburg and Tyler both got vetoed and I ended up in Texarkana instead.

[richyb83]

Great photo's everybody ! Nice shot of Camp Street in New Orleans Nate.

Thanks for sharing those TUrban. How did they ever get the name Kill Devil Hills ?

Nice shot RestedTraveler of the Mighty Mississippi.
