Those Places Thursday: Union Station, Little Rock, AR

Union Station
Then, 1905-1915


Now

---

Union Station used to be a very important part of transportation in Arkansas.

When I was a kid, my grandmother, Louise Herrington, took me for a ride on an Amtrak train. We only hit a couple of the whistle stops before going back to Arkadelphia, but I thought we were big stuff...

I should have said this before, but your 'Then & Now' photos are pretty damn cool.

Thank you, sir...and thanks for reminding me - I should have tagged this one Then and Now and I'll go back and do that at once.

Just found two pretty cool photography communities - looks like mostly amateurs - here on DW so I joined up.

I have thousands of photos all over several flash drives...

You might want to check out the links list in my cemetery blog (left-hand side of the journal) for some pretty fantastic photo blogs I've found outside DW.

There seems to be a blogging theme for [insert city] Daily that makes what probably seems to be old-hat city sights quite interesting to those of us who will never get there...the Brisbane, Dublin and Hyde photographers are actually very good.

Single shot - every day.

Methinks Phx would be quite interesting...

Arizona celebrates their centennial in 2012. (notice how I still say 'their' even after nine years here) There have been a few Then & now slide shows on the local websites. I wish to could stand on the exact spot with my laptop. I suppose I could if I REALLY had to.

And you reminded me I have to set up a photobucket account one of these days so i can post pics to DW.

It's really, really easy to find those spots again with GPS...

I'm guessing I can find them the old fashoined way.
