Bridges in Waco, TX

Here: Waco Suspension Bridge and Washington Avenue Bridge (The Waco Steel Bridge)

There is a nice little town between Austin and Dallas - it is the city of Waco in the heartland of Texas. If in Waco visit the Waco Suspension bridge. It might be the most beautiful bridge in Texas with, perhaps, the exception of its elder sister, the Pennybacker Bridge in Austin.

Anyway, walk onto the Waco Suspension bridge and go halfway across so that you can sit on the cables where they dip to their lowest point just a few feet from the ground. Watch the water, watch the mud ducks spalsh, watch the traffic on I-35 and then think back to 1870 when the bridge was opened. Cattle, horses, wagons and carriages, and of course people used this bridge to cross the Brazos River between east and west Waco. Animals and people both had to pay a toll.

Today, it is free. It is at its most beautiful at sunset when the stucco is bathed in a golden glow. Also, look underneath the bridge and you can see the original bricks. When it was built, it had old-timey crenellated brick turrets at the apexes. Now it's all smooth.

Stairway To Heaven In Houston

Houston,TX is a haven for many genuine contemporary architecture treasures. It is a place where a modern lifestyle is definitely celebrated. Architecturally progressive and contemporary structures in and around Houston exemplify modern living.

In the 1960's and 70's, Houston's architecture significantly shifted to reflect the city's booming economy. From the Astrodome to the Museum of Fine Arts to the Rothko Chapel to the terrific modern homes throughout the city, Houston became modern in every way and continues to be architecturally progressive today. Because Houston is one of the top cities for fabrication, architects have direct access to metal, steel, and glass fabricators on a local level, and as a result, have designed and constructed some amazingly creative and innovate works.

Houston's Skyline District holds the Bayou City's finest examples of modern architecture and design. It invites people to see some of the most exciting examples of Modern architecture and design in the nation.

Gulf Building Houston Texas

left:       BG Group Place - Formerly MainPlace, Block 93
middle: 712 Main - Formerly: JPMorgan Chase Bank Building - Formerly: Gulf Building
right:     JPMorgan Chase Tower

Historic buildings are a great way to explore the past of any city, and Houston, Texas is no exception.

Nestled beautifully in the heart of downtown Houston, 712 Main (formerly: JPMorgan Chase Bank Building - formerly: Gulf Building) was constructed in 1929. The property is 36 stories and was the tallest skyscraper in Houston until 1963. Although now dwarfed by much higher neighboring skyscrapers 712 Main is truly a local treasure.

The iconic 37-story Art Deco skyscraper is rich in history and a defining landmark of downtown Houston. It is an explosion of art deco, half way between a wedding cake and a medieval castle. The skyscraper is Gothic in design on the outside and inside. When the building opened it boasted Houston's most elaborate Art Deco interiors. The detailing in the Main Street lobby and original National Bank of Commerce banking hall are still intact.
Texas Commerce Bank initiated the restoration of the building in 1989, in what is still considered one of the largest privately funded preservation projects in American history.

The art-deco skyscraper is very unique. The Gulf Building marked the high point of the Roaring '20s construction boom that was transforming Houston from a Southern town to a major metropolis.

Angel St Louis Cemetery No 3 New Orleans

There is something romantic and intriguing about St. Louis Cemetery No. 3 near the beautiful City Park and NOMA sculpture garden in New Orleans, LA. This graveyard is an outdoor museum of art and history, filled with sacred treasures ensconced in stone, marble and iron.

In N'awlins cemeteries are called "Cities of the Dead", but the past is always a part of the present here. Saint Louis Cemetery #3 is utterly enchanting as a destination for the living to visit. It's the living things here that matter: the people who tend the grave sites, the flowers they leave behind, and the wonderful combinations of light and shadow, heat and cool, wind and calm, that make this one of NOLA's most intimate and expressive venues.

The Big Easy's St. Louis No. 3 cemetery has an interesting mix of personal tombs and "society" vaults. The tombs are shoved together so tightly that they create a mystical maze for tourists and mourners in which they can lose themselves. The plaque near the Esplanade Avenue entrance says: "Here the living find comfort and are consoled by visiting the burial places of their loved ones and praying for them."
We are all equal in death.

Mother Teresa - St Louis Cemetery No 3 New Orleans

The catholic cemetery 'St Louis Cemetery No.3' in New Orleans is eerily pretty. Many old tombs dating back into the 1700's. It is impressive to see the way this "city" was laid out and, as usual, the difference between the areas of the more affluent compared to those of the poorer citizens. The tombs themselves range from shabby to elegant.

There is a lovely statue of Mother Teresa there. She is standing in her peaceful pose. Coins are scattered near the statue, as if people had made some wishes. Mother Teresa's story took place recently! 1n 1910, she was born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu in Yugoslavia, became an Albanian nun and founded The Missionaries of Charity. She spent her entire life helping others.
The inscription on the bottom of the statue reads:
"If you pray you will have faith, and if you have faith you will love. And if you love you will serve. And if you serve you will have peace."

Like so many cemeteries around the Big Easy, St Louis cemetery No.3 is chock full of soaring dramatic mausoleums that have fallen into aging, cracked atmospheric perfection. This place is macabre and magical.

A Green Door In New Orleans

The first thing many people notice as you enter a home is the front door. A door is part of the face of a home. It's just a small part of the house but as an architectural element it says a lot about the times. This is especially true of historic homes. Many times doors were almost works of art in their day. Now they are works of art!

A classic example of New Orleans architectural elements is shuttered doors. Shuttered doors allow the homeowner to let a breeze in, keep the sun out, and combat storm winds. Shuttered doors are found on many of NOLA's historical homes and buildings peppered throughout the French Quarter. The architectural elements found throughout The Big Easy are reason enough for a visit.

Today many old doors are restored to give that feel "hey I did not forget that I am an old home". If N'awlins' doors, walls, courtyards and streets could talk I would love to hear their conversation.
