awesome. we need to hang out this weekend. Do you guys want to go to ye olde mideval faire this weekend? I think Lisa and I are going on saturday. If not we can still probably do something...we're picking up the keys to our new place tomorrow, so you need to come see it at least.
Goodness, so much sky and flatness! Some of those give me a particularly unfocused, dispersed feeling (with a tinge of existential angst) -- Pittsburgh is so hilly that you're always in a very focused and somewhat claustrophobic space no matter where you go.
I felt really disoriented when I lived in Richmond...I always felt sort of boxed in and claustrophobic. I miss the sky when I go somewhere else...you can't see it in these photos, but we also get the most amazing sunsets I've seen anywhere. I think I would miss the sky if I moved somewhere else.
I missed all sorts of strange things when I moved here from New Orleans. Weirdly, I actually liked driving across Ohio and Indiana (which seem to be comprised entirely of really long grass which may or may not be on fire, and cows, and uninhabited farmhouses, and signs pointing to Toledo) on the way to Chicago all the time last year, because at least there was a little bit of sky. Just walking around in Arizona was some really amazing geographic euphoria :)
the lamp post is on the corner of 10th and robinson by citychurch...you can see those same lamps from further away in that photo. "Church Row" is the stretch of robinson avenue from about 5th street to about 12th street where the first churches in the city were established in the 1890s, and where many of them still are.

I love that lamp-post, especially... where is it exactly?
And where, exactly, is Church Row?
