Main Street, Seattle

A mixture

of old and new

meet on Main Street;

where cars mingle with 

horse drawn carriages,

and popular chain stores

are in century-old

buildings.

Go to a place

where rooms used to be 

75 cents,

where buildings fashionable

in the early century

still live.

Where you can buy

a cup of coffee

and visit funky stores

to see new trends. 

Old-fashioned lamps

light up the streets

alongside silver skyscrapers.

Newly paved roads

run over hills,

racing past an ornately decorated

streetcar stop.

History preserved perfectly

among the proceeding

technology.

A glimpse of the past

and a taste of the future;

a place where time

has no meaning.

These pictures were taken in Seattle. It struck me how amazing the history was preserved here, with many historical sights. The first picture was of an old building across from a park, and the second picture is of another building that used to be a hotel.
