 djkraz says: Yes, it's true, I live in the suburb of a town that has a population of 10k people. The population of cows is probably larger than the humans! That there lumberjack seems to think that his tool is an extension of himself!  It's not Europe, but still looks very nice!  Very nice architecture. Glad to know that the entire US is not being composed of Track Homes and new developments. The types of homes and parks in these photos reflects the architectures of when men knew how to build homes, many coming from the old countries. The stone work alone is great eye-candy and will probably endure another 200 years (unless they are torn down for condo compleses or something) DJ - I would say any place the animals or fowl outnumber the humans is a great place to raise a family and relax. What are housing prices like in that area? Geekette, that may be on purpose. This town started out as logging community, and to this day is a very labor oriented town. You won't find any office jobs here. Anyway, most men around here do feel that the bigger there tools, the bigger there manhood. As for the architecture, it is actually quite surprising how many beautiful homes exist in this town. The average age of homes around here is probably 80+ years with many of these great examples being built in the late 1800's to early 1900's. The T.B. Scott Mansion, is actually a library. It has been added on to quite extensively since the photo above, but is still quite a site to see. The former city hall above sold for $1 to someone... $1!!! Thats so cool. I was digging some of the architecture too; makes for a way more scenic view to wake up to than the subdivision cookies that abound everywhere else. We have our sub divisions to, just in a very different way. I had moved away for a few years to florida, and when i came back, i noticed them popping up. The thing that's different about them, is that they are out in the middle of nowhere. I was shocked the first time i saw one. I was driving out of town, and after a couple miles of farms and fields, there was this subdivision... About 20 houses grouped together sticking out like a sore thumb in the middle of a field. Now there is at least 3 places like this that i can think of. Nice clip, Derek! I'm planning a trip to the Milwaukee area pretty soon...maybe I'll be able to set aside some time to take a tour of the extensive Clipmarks-WI business campus while I'm there. We'll see. Let me know... don't get many of dem visitors in deez parts, and sure would love ta see ya! FYI, I'm about 3.5 - 4 hours from milwaukee, but if you have the time, i'm sure we could figure something out... |
