Good to see Louisiana representing to the fullest here.

Good to see Louisiana representing to the fullest here.

I was just thinking that! All three of Louisiana's largest cities are represented over the last few days. Nice!

^And of course it helps that we have so many members in the Louisiana forum that love to show off their cities through photography.

Here is another shot of a storefront in the West End Historic District of downtown Greenville. This is the Christopher Park Gallery:

Another great shot from Greenville, Skyliner! I sware, every time I see photos from Greenville, whether they're posted by you, RestedTraveler, or anyone else, I'm that much more enticed to go there. Greenville really just appeals to me.

[krazeeboi]

Whoa Skyliner, nice touch with your "imprint" on the last photo. It fits perfectly.

Here's a shot of EdVenture children's museum (the South's largest children's museum) from Gervais Street in downtown Columbia:

Great angle and a great looking building, krazeeboi.

Here's a shot of the famous Royal Street in New Orleans' Vieux Carr

It IS an awesome photo, and did you see where he put his "Skyliner Photography" lettering on that one? Awesome!

A few quick Christmas-time shots of a Nutcracker character on display in the center of the upscale Shoppes at Bellemead shopping center in suburban southeast Shreveport...

Trustus Theater, downtown Columbia:

Here's one of my favorite pics, why I don't know. It has an urban feel, IMO. It's of a high-rise under construction in Rogers.

I sure am enjoying this site. Didn't know it existed until Tommy mentioned it in the Richmond in Pictures thread.

Great, informative pictures of places I've never visited like Shreveport, Greenville, Rock Hill, Columbia, Baton Rouge and even Rogers, Arkansas!

Thanks guys. And keep posting. Manwhile I'm glad we have Tommy and Wrldcoupe4 to keep everyone up to date on Richmond.

images snipped

Wow, Tommy, VERY impressive train station! The inside shots remind me a lot of the inside of teh Scottish Rite Temple here. Unfortunately I never got to experience our Union Station before it burned down, or our Central Station before it was trashed and turned into a nightclub/home.

GORGEOUS shots, man!!

[TBurban]

Thanks, Brian! Its a shame that anyone would have such landmarks demolished or left to rot. I'm sure back in the day, all of these older buildings must've been grand! At least some people were around to enjoy their presence.

Rockets Over the Red 2006, Shreveport-Bossier riverfront. This is undoubtedly one of the biggest, most impressive fireworks shows anywhere. It easily rivals anything Dallas or Houston could throw out. I have a collection of photos from tonight's event (click here to see them all) but below are a few examples of what I captured tonight:

As you can see in this photo, thousands of people flock to this fireworks show. See all these people? This is only one small portion of the crowd. There were people lined up and down both the Shreveport AND Bossier riverfronts...

[TBurban]

WOW. Very nice!! Those fireworks pictures came out great! Anyone who hasn't seen the rest of his set in his Flickr, I recommend taking a look at it

A few from the new terminal building at Richmond international Airport.

See more in the Richmond in Pictures Thread.

^ I've already commented on those photos in the Richmond forum, but I'll say it again here, you guys have a much larger, nicer airport than I ever would have expected. It's very impressive.

And thanks for the kind words about my fireworks photos! I appreciate it.

[wrldcoupe4]

Nice shots of the fireworks and of RIC!

from this weekend:

[goodbye]

Awesome photos from these Southern cities, everyone!

Here are a few shots from downtown Greenville's West End Historic District:

Love this old sign for Pensacola Beach, FL. It's been up since the early 50's. Snapped a shot while down in Pensacola for Thanksgiving.

[TBurban]

Thats an awesome sign! Great shot!

On the topic of signs...here's one of Havana 59, a restaurant in Shockoe Bottom

[dimebag1980]

Nice old-school shots, guys!!

My contribution for today:

Shreveport-Bossier has been a major hub for movie-making recently.

Over JUST the last year, the following stars have filmed movies in Shreveport-Bossier: Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, Kevin Costner, Jimmy Fallon, Sandra Bullock, Meg Ryan, Antonio Banderas, Julianna Margulies, Ray Liotta, David Arquette, Selma Blair, Guy Pearce, Sienna Miller, John Goodman, Eddie Griffin, Jennifer Tilly, Morgan Fairchild, Jake Busey, Colin Hanks, and so on.

More movies are currently being made in Shreveport-Bossier and in the pre-production stages, including Blonde Ambition starring Jessica Simpson, and The Cleaner starring Samuel L. Jackson.

This year has been Shreveport-Bossier's time to shine and I couldn't be more proud of my twin cities!

Movie crews started to set up today in downtown Shreveport for Jessica Simpson's movie, Blonde Ambition, which will start filming tomorrow. This film will also star Rachael Leigh Cook, Andy Dick, Penelope Ann Miller, and Willie Nelson.

These photos are not mine. They belong to AMWRanes on Flickr...
