A really pretty shot of Riverfront Park on Water Street.
|
The Main Street Bridge where it meets the South Side
|
Damomics Computer Systems (also clearly labelled). I remember when they opened and it's good to see them still in business.

Looking up Main Street.

The view west from the Main Street Bridge (toward Walnut Street)

Looking east from the Main Street Bridge.

Straight down Main Street to St. Patricks from the bridge.
|
That sign's been there a long time and looks really cool.
|
Kingsbury Cyclery. Another institution, well to me.
|
The Elmira 1-2-3. I saw Star Wars here. It's sad to see it closed.

Once this was the site of the legendary Comics For Collectors in Elmira. One of the best comics stores I've ever seen.
|
The old Izard's Building on Main Street.
|
The entrance to the Clemens Center for the Performing Arts.

The old (to me) Steele Memorial Library Main Branch, now apparently a County Commerce Center.

|
The new (to me) Steele Memorial Library.
|
I just love the name of the Sanitary Barber Shop.
|
The Clemens Center again.

The front of Dunn Field. In my day Southside played their home football games here.

The home of the Arctic League, one of my favorite charitable organizations.

My calculus teacher likes the Popcorn Truck, too. (This is a brick that indicates a contribution to the restoration of the truck.)

Go Amy!
|
The Frank Romeo's Popcorn Truck lisence.
|
The Twin Tier Tire sign. I worked here in the summer of 1984.
|
Twin Tier Tire again, apparently this location is no more. They are still open on Lake Road and in Binghampton.
|
The statue of Ernie Davis outside Ernie Davis Jr. High. (I guess it's called a Middle School now.)
|
The outside of Davis
|
The plaque on the Ernie Davis statue.

Aspen Ridge. I lived on the Southside 17 years and still don't know the story here.
|
Some fellow in Big Flats has a camel (and other things) in his yard.

More of the Big Flats menagerie. I think it's a Brahma bull.
|
More of the menagerie. Alpaca.
