Awesome work Swiney. MtAiry is simply stunning. To think a 2500 sqft home was going for ~200k ~5 years ago is insane...too bad I missed those deals!

Yeah. The photos made me smile. This post made me cry.

This has got to be your best photo tour yet, Swinesel Adams. The colors are incredible. And yet i'm just a little bit disappointed that, in the middle of your tour, you devoted so many pixels to the big mansions at the west end of WMA. There are so many gorgeous blocks of rows and twins where the regular folks live. I find those blocks much more interesting than the big old mansions.

But that's small potatoes. Great work - even moreso than usual!
