Downtown Rochester

Postby Bill_K » Sun Aug 01, 2010 10:58 pm

I did my own City walk downtown on Saturday

Nice photos Bill, It looks like you still can get down to subway, is there still a fence at South Avenue?

great topic idea and excellent photos.
Perhaps some of our other members can start up Downtown "XXX" topics for their own cities?

Thanks everyone for the comments.
Dave, I don't know if the subway is blocked off. That photo was taken from under the bridge behind the Blue Cross Arena. I did notice tire tracks down there and a small pile of dirt. I didn't jump in from there because I didn't know how I would get back out if the end was blocked. Beides, I wouldn't want to go in there alone :chicken:

Great topic. Would like to know more how to get into some of these spots.

Dave the line of arched lights that lead into the subway photo are very cool. Light source and our decaying handiwork intertwined.

This one after the Feb 23 or 26th storm.
