Today and yesterday were pretty quiet. Friday was too, except I took a little trip up to "Historic Downtown Bryan" on a digicam excursion.

Now is the part where I test your will by subjecting you all (or at least those of you who click) to pictures.

On my way up there, I got stopped by the train, so I decided to pull over in front of this shop and take some pictures of it.



And then I pulled on into Bryan and started wandering down the street, taking pictures. I started off right next to this corner of a building, and I liked the way it looked so much, I took 3 pictures of it from different angles.






Another "hotel" (it's currently empty):


A museum and the hypnotizing brickwork in front of it:




An old movie theater:

I played with the contrast on this picture a bit in the Gimp, and it came out really cool, but I'll put it at the end since putting it next to this picture would give me a headache. ;)

A little theater (I have no idea who that is that was there yesterday):


This building looked really gorgeous inside, but it's obviously in disrepair. I tweaked the contrast on last two pictures on it to make it slightly easier to see the since the window I was taking the pictures through was so dirty:






More random stuff:


















The super-tweaked movie theater photo:


And a silly picture as reward for making it through all this:

These were all taken in Bryan, Texas (http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?ovi=1&zoom=2&mapdata=Jl9JS76xNqD33JB%2fxPicsmjjdHvKErzyt7gfdkKVOWdm%2bAXGk4zvHKqEGV3LiVDw%2f%2bZZWaUhBAVl9vgxUpcPbkhSp3q6GqEb1og6MwZ6lE7T6rlR8ON0MnvF2QDvOrzEqXHkoY57kZd2mZ%2b9GlOZrFKeK%2f1z9kuNOButrGMagPFU1z%2fZBL9WAcSLhE2xqp%2bv8qSvPU2PixvL7%2fX3kJ%2bSa%2fRUihhXv7Ai516j1snVzDdOppP3RX0ccuPTXplBn7VlDLaP1j%2fBJNivKHfwCszJEAXLTSBhAzkvb3Yph%2ba3eTsTFE14EtyGJ2xZK5y3gUTfv7SURNC4tZDx2%2bzYPFmkQean1O%2bhbPE5) (which is about 15 minutes away from where I live, in College Station).

And thanks. :)

Those are great, Sar! :)

I think my favorites are the brickwork one and the barber pole...but I like the 'HOTEL' one a lot too.

As for that last one..........*SNORK*

That looks like downtown Bryan about two blocks away from the antique store that has the Bluebell shakes. Did I get that right?

Aside: do you know if A&M has any VT100's left? Last time I was here (95-96) the Blocher lab and most of the dorm labs were VT100's, and I SO wish I could play with them again!

(BTW added you to friends list. If you don't like random strangers doing that I'll fix it. :) )

It is downtown Bryan, but I don't know that antique shop, although I am intrigued by the Blue Bell. <g>

The terminals are gone now. We just have Dells and Gateways and Apples in the OALs now. Even the terminal *emulation* programs (like BONFIRE (http://www.tamu.edu/admissions/records/registration/Bonfire.html)) are starting to get phased out.

And I'm fine with random people via LJ....That's how I got to know [livejournal.com profile] monica and thus all my roommates for this year. ;)
