Georgetown.
This small town was established in 1870. Like many SA towns the plan was fashioned on Light’s plan for Adelaide. The enclosing terraces of north, south, east and west were surrounded by parklands. But the suburbs never developed! The land was originally owned by Charles Fisher and so town streets were named after members of the Fisher family- Hurtle, William etc. The town soon had a post office (1873), Baptist Chapel (1874), a town council (1876), a courthouse (1879) and three general stores, two blacksmiths, and a hotel. The town was known as George Town until 1979 when it became Georgetown. Before the railway was extended from Blyth through to Gladstone the people of Georgetown petitioned for a railway from Gladstone. This was rejected as it was only 11 kms from Gladstone and this distance was easy for bullock drays to cover in a day’s travel. Close proximity to Gladstone led to other businesses and banks closing around 1900. The railway from Blyth eventually passed through the town from 1892. The town institute was designed by architect Daniel Garlick and opened in 1877. It has now been demolished and replaced. As its potential was considered great in the 1870s tiny Georgetown was the head church of the Baptist Church in the north of SA.
On February 16, 1996 during a snow storm, an eastbound MARC local collided with Amtrak's westbound Capitol Limited which was crossing over from #2 to #1 track at Georgetown Jct on CSXT's Metropolitan Subdivision just outside of Washington DC. The crash occurred just ahead in this photograph taken a couple of months later in the springtime. In remembrance of the lives lost on that fateful day, a wooden cross, painted white, was installed on the Talbot St overpass later.

The old county courthouse in Georgetown, Texas, with Christmas decorations Adorning it and the town square. Georgetown is the county seat of Williamson County, and sits near the geographic center of the county. Its population is about 20% of the largest town, which would be round Rock (pop. around 120,000). In spite of the small population it is a thriving town, and growing rapidly (as people flee the high cost of living in Austin).

Springtime at Georgetown University Washington DC. My workplace is adjacent to the indergraduate campus. I park in a garage just next to this part of the campus. I was an undergrad here and spent quite a bit of time here senior year as I lived on campus. (The Science hall is to the right, and the dorm I lived in are to the left). I know that as a senior I wondered about the future and what my life would be like. As that older self I look at the scene and try to remember back to what it was like, before rushing home for dinner. We only have THIS moment.
