Downtown Paducah - Maiden Alley

One of the beautiful little spots full of character and charm in Downtown Paducah is Maiden Alley. It's known for it's cinema - Maiden Alley Cinema, the brainchild of the Paducah Film Society.

I don't know if Maiden Alley was known as "Maiden Alley" prior to the arrival of the cinema - but that's something that has now sparked my noggin - so I'll try to find out for us...

You can click here to learn more about Maiden Alley Cinema, itself.... It's a deliciously cool place!

Three of my favorite faces! This year we did our second shoot together in April while these three siblings were together for Spring Break... This shoot took place in Downtown Paducah - our last shoot took place a couple of years ago in Metropolis...

Giraffes and Bridges and Sunsets... Oh My! - A Downtown Paducah Photo Blog -

***

I had the opportunity over the weekend to make a spin through Downtown Paducah with a friend and take a few shots. I love Downtown Paducah - it's such a quaint little place - very rich in history ...

I took a few unplanned shots while crossing "the blue bridge"...
I'd give my eye teeth to get in the middle of that bridge for about 20 minutes with traffic stopped...

The two-span arch bridge is the I-24 bridge.
In the photo below you can barely see the trusses of the Metropolis Bridge (completed in 1917).
If I'm not mistaken, the smoke-stacks are Electric Energy, Inc - (Coal power plant - Joppa, IL)

My favorites came from Downtown Paducah though ...

my initial intention had been to shoot the Irvin Cobb building and the steeples with the sun setting, but my chosen perch left me with a multitude of telephone poles and wires in the shot - and with the sun setting fast, I decided I would have to wait for another day to get the shot I'm after...
