I've been occupied with other things lately, so I haven't spent as much time with the website as I would like. Started working on it again and there's lot of new stuff on there. I hope to work on another Elgin website soon dedicated to Painted Ladies. If you have any pictures that you're willing to share, please send them to me.

I also started another website for buildings and companies that are gone. It's Thereusedtobe.net. Take a look and see what you think, and again, if you have other pictures of this sort you'd like added, send them my way.
