Bridge to the renovated section...

A poultry sales company...

With a beguiling sign of things to come...

Canada is only as far away as the beer aisle!

'and she could hear the highway breathing'

In the middle of a post-industrial scrubland, shiny silos beckon

Steampunk dreamscape..

Shiny metal thingies

In the window of an old-time Italian specialty foods store...

Ghost sign... Why yes I do needa biscuit...

but what to wash it down with?

Relieves fatigue? Only a nickel! FTW!

Old and new have a staring contest...

Mystery building from the days of a bustling farmers market...

Hardly any building left to be concerned about... and hardly anyone around to pull the alarm at any rate

Up ahead is a stylin' parking ramp

It was built at an odd angle from the street leaving room for this italian eatery...

Uh huh huh huh huh huh huh semen....

Funky angles r us...

Expansion of the Proctor's Theater backstage area...

Where Yolanda Vega calls the balls...

Last remnants of the ill-fated Canal Square developement.

Our journey ends at State Street and what used to be an Art Deco Woolworth's store...
