South Bend - USA

MuddyZehbra32 · April 2nd, 2005, 07:02 PM

South Bend Indiana, is another skyline I did not know about until I felt like going a little off the beaten path coming home from chicago. I think this is Indiana's 4'th largest city, near the Michigan border (The Michiana region of IN). It is mostly a college place methinks.

(the smaller city of Mishawaka is in the backround)

blek, now the annoying 15 option poll

Hey, isn't this where james2390 is from? You should ask him for some photos.

It's a quaint little skyline with some nice density. I give it a 6/10.

MuddyZehbra32 · April 2nd, 2005, 07:21 PM

I remeber that picture...Wasn't their like a black andwhite photo from alongtime that shows an extremly bustling city street with a cool clock?

5/10

I'm actually rather impressed. This is one of those skylines with a single tall building that looks good for it. I seem to see, however, that some nice historic architecture gets lost in the shadow of boxy modern towers, and that's a shame. 6.

Nice clean-looking city. Pretty nice looking buildings as well. Not very much height though.....
The layout of the city reminds me soo much of Roanoke.
Just for that, I'll give it a 8.5

.

8.5/10

You'd think the influence of Notre Dame would be somewhere in the photo. 4.5/10.

Valia · April 3rd, 2005, 03:08 AM

MuddyZehbra32 · April 3rd, 2005, 06:54 AM

***SoboleuS*** · April 3rd, 2005, 09:48 AM

Why because it doesn't have a cluster of corporate boxes downtown? It does well for its size, and for being so close to Chicago.

Actually, Notre Dame has it's own little mini-skyline.

I vote 10/10, because I have waaaay too much hometown pride.

I am!

Here are some more photos...I took em' about a year ago.

As quoted above, Mishawaka isn't actually in the background of that pic, or South Bend would be really small. Mishawaka would be behind whoever is taking the picture, or the opposite direction.

Not bad. 6.5/10. Ryan Newman's hometown. Hello, Newman!

And James2390 too!
