Wisconsin State Capitol Building on the Capitol Square in downtown Madison.
The building is a geographical one-of-a-kind. It’s the only Capitol Building to be built on an isthmus in the world.
Does everyone remember what an isthmus is from 5th grade geography? Hmmm.
Little Boxes on the Main Street

Main Street in Nassau, the Bahamas.
Such lovely houses with bric a brac and hidden architectural beauties. Reminds me of the song about all the houses…
“Little boxes on the ‘main street.’
Little boxes made of ticky-tacky,
Little boxes, little boxes,
Little boxes, all the same.
There’s a green one and a pink one
And a blue one, “brightly painted ones”
And they’re all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same.”
lyrics by Malvina Reynolds (1960)

Stained Glass Window in Christchurch Cathedral, Bahamas © 2008 Bo Mackison
Some see these beauties every Sunday morning. Others of us have to be satisfied with a photograph. Christchurch Cathedral, a short walk from Nassau’s Main Street, is a haven from typical tourist fare. The original Gothic structure was built in 1861. Besides its beautiful stained glass windows, it has embedded stone memorials and epitaphs of church members – civic leaders and seafarers alike – that cover the church’s interior walls.
