2. Kingfisher, Oklahoma
Home of St. Peter and Paul Catholic Church:


Seay Mansion

And
A ton of Grain Elevators.

There's a silo there attached to one of the grain elevators. That was front page news when they put that in, let me tell you. Rock Island Railroad is alive and going through Kingfisher every day a few times.

7. Sit-Ins in Greensboro, North Carolina


In 1960 four black college students walked into a Woolworth store in Greensboro, North Carolina, and sat down at the lunch counter, which was for white customers only. The students waited to be served until the store closed for the day. For the next six days, a growing number of students joined the sit-ins until Woolworth closed its doors. Then the students decided to suspend the sit-ins for two weeks to give stores in the community the chance to desegregate.

They did about 50 of these with all different designs. They allowed artists to make their own renditions of ocala life on them I think representing the fact that Ocala, FL is the horse capital of the country.

25. Pueblo West, Colorado
Edited on Tue Nov-30-04 12:52 AM by CO Liberal
It's a planned community about ten miles west of Pueblo, started by the same company that developed Lake Havasu City in Arizona.

Lake Pueblo State Park is along the southern edge of Pueblo West. The lake was formed by a reservoir that was approved by John F. Kennedy. This is a picture of the marina on the south shore of the lake.

54. Sergeantsville, NJ
Green Sergeant's Covered Bridge, Sergeantsville, Hunterdon County
New Jersey's last vestige of the covered bridge, an original American architectural form, remains in Hunterdon County. The 1872 Green Sergeant's Covered Bridge is a classic whitewashed structure spanning the rocky Wickecheoke Creek. A part of a vanishing New Jersey landscape that should be cherished for its unique beauty.

64. Yep!
The Tohono O'odham Nation (whose reservation the mission is on) used to have an annual Easter festival that mixed in native ritual, where they carried torches to the top of the hill. I just discovered that budget cuts ended the festival, which really bums me out. It was beautiful. :(
