  • Congratulations Andrew..this is the first blog I check in the morning, need to focus these old eyes and pictures are easier than words! It is the history of the city through architecture that I really appreciate.

  • Oh! Six candles to mark the passage of time and one to wish on for the future = 7 candles!

  • Happy Blog Day, Old Boy! 6 years is quite the accomplishment in the Blogging Business. I hope I can pull off that feat!

  • Happy BlogDay Andrew! just wanted to let you know that IM has inspired me with a whole new appreciation for history and architecture, especially in this region. Without your daily snapshot into the past, I probably would have still thought that stucco looked ok. Here's to 6 great years, and hopefully many more to come. Cheers.

  • Great work Andrew and congratulations on 6 years.

    I love this site and to those who it has brought me into contact with. It is wonderful what the blogging community can do when we all work together towards common goals. This site has helped to do that many times.
    Regardless of whether I agree with all posts or not I am glad to have the exchange of ideas and debates with others.

    Cheers to everyone and thanks to Andrew for his hard work and dedication!

  • My hat's off to you Andrew. Your blog is an amazing accomplishment that is changing many people's perceptions of their surroundings.

    Would that I could have 10% of the energy you put into it...
