These were taken early in the morning the Saturday before Christmas. I was heading out of town that day but got up early to take some pics before leaving.
Waking Up!

The Rose Theater. Beautiful on the outside and in. It's a children's theater.
I went to many field trips there.

Landmark Center & Paxton
***DESCRIPTION ABOVE PICS***
Redick Hotel & Barker building. This intersection of DT is becoming very active with the Paxton going condo and new restaurants from high-end to sandwich shops moving in. The Barker is going to be residential but it has been a VERY slow process with the owner/developers.
![](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y195/pkiphd/Downtown/DowntownDec/DT12-42.jpg)
Paxton Block. Work is now done on these buildings. They now house a tanning salon, 2 nightclub/lounges, a cajun restaurant, and a sandwich shop. On the other side of the block is a bank and steak house.

Barker Building. Major potential.
