Liverpool's Liver Buildings is known throughout the world. It represents our great City. For centurys ships approaching Liverpool would see this Great building towering the Pier Head, the doorway to our port. What is your Town or City proud of.

OK for real here is a tidbit and pic



Calgary: The City of Ceremony

One interesting Calgary tradition is the White Hat Ceremony. The white cowboy hat has long stood as a symbol of hospitality in the city, as cowboys often presented them to important city visitors. Thousands of guests, including Bill Cosby, have been presented with white cowboy hats. Today this tradition continues through the Calgary Convention & Visitors Bureau, and visitors may contact the Bureau to arrange their own free White Hat Ceremony. White hats may be purchased through Riley & McCormick Western Stores for presentation in the ceremony.

My city (more like town) really has nothing to boast except the Colorado River so the city I more identify with is Phoenix, the state capitol. I find the State Capitol Building to be pretty cool looking mainly because of its huge copper dome and the Winged Victory statue atop it.

I can try and rustle up a few off the web, Maccat. I don't have a scanner to post the originals I have. Back in a little bit...:-6

The SECC

"Why not just tell people I'm an alien from Mars. Tell them I eat live chickens and do a voodoo dance at midnight. They'll believe anything you say, because you're a reporter. But if I, Michael Jackson, were to say, 'I'm an alien from Mars and I eat live chickens and do a voodoo dance at midnight', people would say, 'Oh, man, that Michael Jackson is nuts. He's cracked up. You can't believe a damn word that comes out of his mouth.' " Michael Jackson

No problem at all, Maccat! Just wish there were something better to show you but here we go...views of the Colorado River...Highway 95 coming from the south heading into Bullhead City (my town)...and the Episcopal Church.

The one photo shows the bridge that leads from the Arizona side into the Nevada side of the Colorado. :)

Well I live in Slough, so probably a bland, post-modernist office building? Or- Sir William Herschel's famous observatory was built here, so an image of Uranus might be appropriate... seeing as how much crap the town's wallowing in...
