Some old photos from the city where I live. Things have changed quite a bit.

Very interesting pictures. Seems like it's rich with history and historical buildings. I'm just wondering how many of the historical buildings will be spared as more and more modernization comes to the city. It appears to be an industrial city. Is that correct, Chris?
 
Used to be. Cloth then watches and clocks then bicycles then into motorbikes then finally cars and now, nothing.

Wow, must be very difficult to make a decent living when you remove industry from the mix.
 
Sometimes living in newer cities like in Florida I envy the idea of being able to photograph older structures like that.
