Thunder Roads 2011: Many, many cities

Thundertubs · #1 Posted **Nov 27, 2011, 3:40 AM**

2011 saw me on the move again. Lacking the time or will to make threads for all the cities I photo'ed this year, I'm just going to dump the highlights into this one thread. I had the pleasure of driving between Chicago and New Jersey three times. There is a lot to see between those two points.

I guess this is sort of a "best-of" for 2011. It's mostly new stuff after the first few.

I'll miss your industrial strength Chicago threads.

Beautiful, some sweet shots of the East...

Oh yes sir. I dig.

There is a lot of classic American urbanism in this thread. I love all of it but especially the Terminal Tower in Cleveland.

You were in Delaware and didn't let me know? I could've shown you around.

You last picture from Jersey City in August (before the Point Pleasant picture) was taken literally in front of my friends' house. Theirs is the tan one on the left that is cut off.

Loved every photo. Classic examples of classic American urbanism. I can't get enough of those forlorn small Appalachian cities.

Wonderful recap!

Nice tour. Cool to see shots from different locations as well as different seasons.

Not sure why, but the Beach Boy's song "Get Around" kept playing in my head.

I'm lovin' this thread. Sorry to say I don't remember the Columbia, PA tour (quite a surprising little city),

Now that you're on the East Coast, I'm expecting some Upstate NY tours.

Thanks for all the great pics/tours you've shared with us Tt.

I hadn't realized you left Chicago. Great photos!

Good luck in Jersey!

Nice collection! The skyline of Jersey City was also visible from our hotel near Meatpacking district, Manhattan during my visit in August.
