There is, over at the fascinating Shorpy photography site,this amazing photo (seen above) of the wonderful Main Street Station in Richmond, Virginia (that's R-Va, of course).
The station was the last true landmark before the billboards for South of the Border kicked in on I-95. But...wait a tick. The road isn't in this view, taken in 1905 (no duh).
I took a shot of it in 2009 from the opposite side of the tracks/highway:
They tried to put stores in there. Didn't work. Amtrak rolls through here. It's a train station - in all its grandeur.
