Rob, it's amazing how much has been torn down in this country.  It's greaqt fun to look at old photos of  long lost buildings, but even more fun to look at photos of places that are still around.

Great old picture.  Can you imagine showing homes while driving your buggy?

Enjoy the fall activities and be sure to have your camera in hand to capture the changing colors of the season.

Rob - that's such a great photo and to think that's what Bristol looked like back in the early 1900. Imagine if those people could see the technology today - Iphones, IPads, Cars....
