the street running up and down at the far left is king street - the fancy building on the corner on the far left was the old bank, now replaced by that skinny blue glass bank building on the corner of king and james.
Oh good lord. That was all lost for Jackson Square? I knew it encompassed several blocks and dozens (hundreds?) of Victorian era buildings, but the old City Hall looks incredible. What a loss.

Thanks very much, Chronamut! Really appreciate this.
