Well done, KBragg, for correctly identifying our last sidewalk photo as Floyd Street looking north between Breckinridge and College Streets in the Smoketown/Jackson neighborhood. Identify today’s sidewalk in the comments.

  1. Too easy, but only because I happen to have band practice there on a weekly basis – Main Street between Wentzel and Campbell, looking west, and right in front of CitySpace on Main.

  2. The link that goes with “Study: Sprawl’s architectural similarity helps mobile Americans stay stable” is the wrong link. Could you post the actual link to the Washington Post article on this topic? I couldn’t find it on the Washington Post’s website. Thanks

  3. In the photo above, the blue building on the left hand side has always seemed like a natural choice for conversion to housing, anyone know, aside from issues related to banks/lending, why this hasn’t happened? If anyone has been in it or knows about it, is it structurally sound? Free of mold?
