Admittedly, kinda odd, random topic. Wife and I were in Cartersville recently.

This is in the old downtown area. Like many quaint Southern towns, the old business district went dormant for a while, and has since been revived by turning the old downtown business buildings into restaurants, boutiques, such as that. Downtown Cartersville is a pleasant place to go visit, and is very busy.

But they took a section of the old buildings and tore them down (I honestly have no knowledge of what they were, their condition, etc.), and they built a parking deck, which is actually a pretty smart idea, as downtown parking consists almost solely of curbside parking, which can be quite scarce, depending upon what day of the week. But, what made me post this is how they made the parking deck consistent with the look of the rest of the old downtown architecture. The entire front of the parking deck is brick and concrete facade which has the look of being four separate buildings, including having some windows. Check this out, and how it blends in so well with the rest of the buildings.

Kudos to them for doing this. Smart idea.

Very cool idea to make it blend that well.

Cartersville is a great town.  Much better Than the other towns about that size in Ga.

TRD, that is beyond impressive. Seriously, thank you for sharing that. What a ton of interesting information and even more tons of research that made it what it is.

[Milldawg]

that was a good idea, definitely blends in well

[UncleJohnsDawg]

Very cool. Thanks, Rockmartdawg.
