15 Nov 09 - Did you know that there are 10,466 U.S. streets named Main? If you haven't checked out the collaborative project Mapping Main Street, what are you waiting for?! I've posted some links in a discussion thread (below).

You may also want to check out the Community Heart and Soul Photo Contest (...more info in a discussion thread - below.)

About Main Street, USA

Main Street, USA. Get yours at bighugelabs.com/flickr

Remember the United States of yesteryear, before urban sprawl, before shopping malls and discount chains lured consumers away from once thriving business districts and fading downtown retail spaces? This group features nostalgic, historic and vintage photographs of storefront exteriors and other architecture from downtown USA, be it declining or revitalized. The focus of the pool is older American business districts, commercial and public properties.

Please keep additions to the pool family/work friendly. No portraits, please. Photos of residential/industrial areas or other photos outside the group's focus may be removed without notice by the group's curator.
