  3. Oh this is wonderful to view. Someday I hope to visit this place, and I understand after it sat vacant they've redone the building and you can tour it? I must check out your other posts.

  5. I loved going back and reading about Ford's Theatre after the fact....I had never really wondered if it was still a theatre, or became a museum, or if it even still existed. Loved that old post, and this one with the really nice photo!

  7. Wow, this is cool! You have actually taken us behind the scenes. I have never seen such a clean and well kept alley. Perhaps the city keeps it that way because it is some kind of landmark?
