That’s a great shot. I wonder if the Riverton Hotel or Lucky Chinese Restaurant still exist?
Thanks for sharing,
Chris
Thanks Chris…I doubt it, but maybe the restaurant does, the majority of the neighborhood has been gentrified…
Looks a little bit run down… 😉 Nice picture! /J
A triangle within a triangle. Nice. 🙂

Cool! I’ll take any prize I can get! 🙂
The first time I looked at it, I didn’t see it. But when I went back for a second look, it seemed so obvious.
I know what you’re saying though, Matt. I love when people understand why I took a particular photo. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, it’s as if you’ve finally found someone who speaks your language….so to speak. 🙂
At last a second language…I failed Spanish & Latin!
Stark, perfect and lonely.
