Here's a shot of part of the New Orleans skyline from the end of the Riverfront streetcar line:

Is this the beutiful building that happens to be a couple of feet away from the Interstate? I was coming from the Holocaust Museum when I saw this building, which I think this is it, and the great urban 17th Street Farmers Market.

It sure is Here's Main Street Station from the Farmers Market

That's a small barge headed downriver.

Great looking skyline shot, Tommy! You're an Emporis photographer, huh?

Haha, thats me

And awesome shot of New Orleans from the tracks

Here's a couple more shots of Chattanooga. The first is a cute, distinctive little building located on Market Street downtown. I don't know it's name.

The second shows some of the wide landscaped sidewalks that can be found on Market Steet.

I've never seen Richmond's skyline from this angle; it's a great one.

Great Shreveport pics, SBCmetroguy. Riverfront Park looks like a jewel.

That certainly is a different angle of Richmond, but it's a good one for sure.

And thanks man. Riverfront Park (officially named Riverview Park though most people don't call it that) IS a jewel. It's always been nice, but it's really nice now.

Here's a street level shot of the Louisiana Superdome, "The Eighth Wonder of the World"

Since this photo was taken, the roof, which is the largest roof in the country, has been completely replaced. Work continues on major upgrades inside the Dome for its nationaly televised September 25th reopening with the Saints playing the Falcons.

I love those Shreveport shots, and especially the Texas Street Bridge. Very Cool!

Here's a couple more Chattanooga pictures for you:

The first shows the Sheraton Read House Hotel which has recently undergone a $9 Million refurbishing, and the James Building in the background.

The next shot show my favorite of Chattanooga Buildings, the Dome Building built way back in 1892, in the background.

Once again very nice pics everyone.

[wrldcoupe4]

Work!

[dimebag1980]

Work!

I love the modern look of those high-rises from street level. Very nice! It's not as obvious when looking at the skyline from a distance, but up close they're obviously very modern-looking.

Looking towards downtown New Orleans from the outskirts of the French Quarter:

I love views that mix modern with old like that in New Orleans.

Hooters is right in that general area. I recall having a damn good time at that particular Hooters.

Great photo, by the way.

The views along the Tennessee River are truly spectacular. Great shot, my man!

Here's a few more downtown pictures from Chattanooga. The first is of the Dome Building in the background. The large building in the foreground is being coverted to condos...very nice.

The shot shows the Chattanooga Bank Building in the foreground and the James Building in the background.

^Man, those are some gorgeous old buildings in those Chattanooga photos. And I love the dense feel the photos give off as well.

A sculpture of Maj. Gen. Nathanael Greene, who led American troops in the South during the Revolutionary War and played a pivotal role in turning the tide in favor of the patriots, was unveiled at the corner of South Main and Broad Streets in Downtown Greenville, South Carolina, USA this morning.

Historians claim Greenville County, South Carolina was named for Greene.

I don't think I've seen any Riverfront pics of Chattanooga in this forum, so here are a few.

TN Aquarium: Freshwater building is on the right, saltwater addition is in the middle, and the Market Street Bridge is on the left.

Are those heiroglyphics on the wall in the middle-right of this photo?

I guess...

I do know that the city paid Cherokee artists to design the art work for the passage.
