Tally skyline

We don’t have a ton of tall buildings but here are some. Linking up for Skywatch Friday.

Empty

You’d never think that this empty lot was so close to midtown, right along a very busy section of Thomasville road, a major thoroughfare in Tally.

Hattie’s Upholstery

This building has been closed for a long time and the only info I can find on it is the first guy’s bio at this site. The building, to me, represents what Tallahassee’s south side looks like. Its brick and old fashioned lettering is what this little city once was: industrious.

City corner

I’m assuming that’s an old water hookup on that building but  my – albeit brief – research, yielded no results.

IMAX Theater

Downtown, we have a true IMAX theater where kids can go and see educational movies but they also show regular IMAX movies too, sometimes. Our regular movie theater has a couple IMAX theaters within it now.

Front door for show, side entrance

I see a lot of older buildings that have been converted into law offices, etc and a lot of them have decorative front entrances… through which you cannot enter!

Skywatch Friday – White fluffy clouds

Was walking across a pretty abandoned campus to drop a book off to a friend and I really liked this shot. These dorms are all pretty new; I think there were some crappy old apartments and dirt lots over here at one point, long ago. Linking up for Skywatch Friday.

Welcome to Tallahassee, Florida’s Capital

Hail! And welcome to the newest Daily Photo blog for good ol’ Tallahassee, Florida.

The city was made official in 1824 when a log cabin was erected for the capitol building. Rebuilt in 1845, the Old Capitol building stands in the center of town and is recognizable by all. The city is best known for not only being the governing seat for the state, but for its rich history and institutions of higher learning.

With roughly 200,000 people, Tallahassee possesses some features of bigger cities while still retaining the small town feel.

The first photo I shall feature is a blending of the old and new capitols (old being in the foreground) the last time my son visited for a field trip:
