Here's beautiful downtown Denville, NJ.! It's a sleepy little town but has a lively downtown area (one street, actually, called Broadway). I'd characterize Denville as "blue-collar" and family friendly. Taxes are lower than most surrounding towns, due in large part to the revenue base provided by the local businesses. All year round we have street fairs, mini-carnivals, fund raising activities, and general parties that take over the downtown area. The street is closed off to vehicles and the entire town turns out to socialize and partake of the festivities. We have 7 small lakes in Denville, and I live on one of them, called Lake Arrowhead. Much like Willoughby, this is a town where a man can slow down to a walk and live his life full measure

Broadway looking "uptown":


From the same spot as the above pics, the view back "downtown". Pretty small, huh?


Here's what really puts Denville on the map: our own Starbucks!

Schoten from the sky.

The castle of Schoten

From left to right: The library, the police station, some statue, one of the churches and the town hall.

That's the best what Google offerd me.

Schoten is kind of a "suburb" of Antwerp.
Antwerp "skylines": right bank and left bank

My "other town" where I partially live: Carcassonne, that's in the south of France.

Go DURHAM !!!!. I lived there while in college. I really like the the mix of hi-tech & blue-collar feel it has. Most people I was around considered it the dirty @ss of the Triangle ... I liked it alot, though.

... OK, not quite what I had planned (due to linking troubles), but after Pavia, here are some other web-based images, from the city where I work, Milan - few, but interesting beauties, from the "classic" pigeons and cathedral to Leonardo (at the Scala)...:

If you look really closely near the center of the picture, you can see the banjo-playing kid from Deliverance.

Seriously though, Louisville looks like a nice city.
