Short Stop at Galesburg, Illinois

On the way back home I wanted to visit a few more places, and one of the first was Galesburg, Illinois. There are about 32,000 folks in the city. Seemed like a nice place (though it was damp), and I wish I had spent a bit more time there. Not a whole lot of pics, but here goes:

Cool tour of an obscure and surprisingly urban little town.

Galesburg as an unusually awesome collection of old buildings for a city of it's size and relative isolation. The courthouse in particular is a stunner.
