Springfield Mall is gone and in its place is now Springfield Town Center. It's pretty dead but with nearly half the mall still empty, it's no surprise. They do well considering. I love the changes they made to the place. The interior design is amazing and closing the openings in the floor of the upper level has made it feel more spacious. It's beautiful!
I learned some new contrast overlay editing tricks, it really brings light to certain areas of the image, this is now a very sexy picture!

Springfield Barnes Farm - the farmer was Mr David Fleming who had a fine dairy herd of Fresians plus a few Ayrshires through the 60s, later a beef herd of Herefords.
In 1986, a BBC Domesday project visited the farm where the dairy cattle had already gone; at that time Chelmer village was to the north of Sandford Mill Road, towards Cuton Hall and the Fleming land was still being farmed by Robert Fleming. The Marriage family departed in 1918. Now a pub cum restaurant, surrounded by late 80s - early 90s housing and trading estates and retail developments.

Springfield is the capital of the U.S. state of Illinois and the county seat and largest city of Sangamon County. The city's population was 116,250 at the 2010 U.S. Census, which makes it the state's sixth most-populous city, the second largest outside of the Chicago metropolitan area (after Rockford), and the largest in central Illinois. As of 2019, the city's population was estimated to have decreased to 114,230, with just over 211,700 residents living in the Springfield Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes Sangamon County and the adjacent Menard County.
Present-day Springfield was settled by European Americans in the late 1810s, around the time Illinois became a state. The most famous historic resident was Abraham Lincoln, who lived in Springfield from 1837 until 1861, when he went to the White House as President. Major tourist attractions include multiple sites connected with Lincoln including his presidential library and museum, his home, and his tomb at Oak Ridge Cemetery.
The city lies in a valley and plain near the Sangamon River. Lake Springfield, a large artificial lake owned by the City Water, Light & Power company (CWLP), supplies the city with recreation and drinking water. Weather is fairly typical for middle latitude locations, with four distinct seasons, including, hot summers and cold winters. Spring and summer weather is like that of most midwestern cities; severe thunderstorms may occur. Tornadoes hit the Springfield area in 1957 and 2006.
The city has a mayor–council form of government and governs the Capital Township. The government of the state of Illinois is based in Springfield. State government institutions include the Illinois General Assembly, the Illinois Supreme Court and the Office of the Governor of Illinois. There are three public and three private high schools in Springfield. Public schools in Springfield are operated by District No. 186. Springfield's economy is dominated by government jobs, plus the related lobbyists and firms that deal with the state and county governments and justice system, and health care and medicine.

The Illinois State Capitol, located in Springfield, Illinois, houses the legislative and executive branches of the government of the U.S. state of Illinois. The current building is the sixth to serve as the capitol building since Illinois was admitted to the United States in 1818. Built in the architectural styles of the French Renaissance and Italianate, it was designed by Cochrane and Garnsey, an architecture and design firm based in Chicago. Ground was broken for the new capitol on March 11, 1868, and the building was completed twenty years later for a total cost of $4.5 million.
The building contains the chambers for the Illinois General Assembly, which is made up of the Illinois House of Representatives and the Illinois Senate. An office for the Governor of Illinois, additional offices, and committee rooms are also in the building. The capitol's footprint is cross-shaped, with four equal wings. Its tall central dome and tower roofs are covered in zinc to provide a silvery facade which does not weather. Architecture scholar Jean A. Follett describes it as a building that "is monumental in scale and rich in detail." The interior of the dome features a plaster frieze painted to resemble bronze, which illustrates scenes from Illinois history, and stained glass windows, including a stained glass replica of the state seal in the oculus of the dome.
A studio portrait of my brothers Loyd and David (twins), around one year old. We lived in Springfield, Illinois at the time. I have a home photo from about the same time, but my brothers' hair was neatly combed for tis occasion.
This photo is an indication of how my father's fortunes had improved in the years since I had been born. A studio portrait was something of a luxury.
