  1. On a clear day, Helen Shiller can almost see Uptown from her house.

    Beautiful pics by the way.

  3. Great photos that I may post in my Facebook account for friends far away to see (anonymous Uptown neighbor, I promise to acknowledge your authorship).

    The ominous yellow crane, however, is a smudge on each of these otherwise beautiful photos; it shamelessly intrudes in each frame, foretelling the blight to come if the vertical slum gets built.

  5. Thanks! I posted them on Facebook and acknowledged an anonymous Uptown neighbor for the pix.

    I got a comment from a friend who found one of the pix stunning.

  6. Very cool pics from a unqiue perspective. I love the Uptown Broadway building, but I've only been able to see the amazing lobby. I wonder about what the upper floors are like.

  7. ECB -- You can go up in the elevator to the business floors. They're very ... old-looking. You can imagine Sam Spade working there.

  8. Well, I will have to try out the elevators the next time I am down at Lawrence/Broadway.
