signs

I'm more than a little fascinated by architectural lines and signs. They're all around! The humorous and humbling, the stately and sobering. As we continue our southern spring ramble, I'm capturing signs and lines I like.

A charming little well-kept secret lies on the South Carolina coast, away from Hilton Head and Charleston. Beaufort. (Pronounce it correctly: Bew-furt) The church my brother and sis-in-love attend dates back to the 18th century, and some of the residents in the burial ground served in the revolutionary war.




Beaufort managed to escape most of the Civil War's destruction, leaving the city with street after street of magnificent homes and stately live oak trees.




Another southern gem is Greenville, South Carolina.
Here you'll find the best examples of downtown revitalization.



This pedestrian bridge replaced an old vehicle bridge, revealing the beautiful and natural falls of the Reedy River.


Any city with a baseball team is good for me.
