As a follow-up to yesterday’s post, about how close we are to our past, I am sharing a photo of an abandoned railroad crossing near downtown Greenville. Click here to see downtown buildings in the background. Also, click here to see a previous post describing how the city has developed a multiuse path from the railroad line … The photo posted today was taken last Sunday evening. I was attempting the catch the evening light.

This photo shows how close to the surface our history is. These cobblestones were mentioned in an article in the Greenville News and I felt compelled to go looking for them.
PS: Check out Rudy’s flickr photo on the subject. Rudy publishes the Antiqua Daily Photo blog.

You may remember my post on January 29th about local support for the O-Cha Tea Bar’s effort to keep it’s doors open. Last night a local reader (Brian) asked that I stop by O-CHA and say hello. The Downtown Presbyterian church was showing their support for O-CHA by holding a reception there. As you can see from the photo a big crowd turned out … Bravo Downtown Pres.

Last weekend during a walk, in the Earle Street Historic Preservation Area, I took this photo of a speed hump warning sign. The difference between a speed hump and a speed bump is the width not the height. They are both about one foot high while the bump is one foot wide the hump is 6 feet wide. The bumps are most common and are a real pain in the you know what. While the speed humps slow traffic down but don’t seem as jarring to me.

On my walk to work yesterday I found the morning light interesting. The building is the restored Huguenot Mill. The architecture is interesting as well.

Yesterday at lunch I took this photo of the elevator at Falls Park. I find the elevator unique in that it appears to be free standing with wings. Falls Park is three levels so the elevator was built to insure access to all. What appears to be white wings behind the elevator is actually a canopy.
