1. I live in the 5th largest city on the continent

a city I know like the back of my hand. And this theme intimidates the hell out of me. But I do like a challenge.

4. Population of my town 420....we have 1 traffic light in 687 square miles.....

5. I grew up in a town about that size

Gather everyone under the traffic light and have 'em stand around the firetruck and have a grand ol' time takin' pictures of it all.

While your there, mail a letter or two :-)

Can't wait to see what ya come up with...

This could have been my grandpa's barn.

10. Technical detail question:

Does it have to be some place called "Main St." or is the theme that we're to take a photo of the main drag through town? There is no Main St. in my town. :shrug:
