I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. COURTS_130303_001.JPG: Court Square: Of the four original municipal parks laid out by city planners in 1819, Court Square is the only one left in its original form. Ironically, no courthouse was ever built on Court Square... it was on Exchange Square.
2. COURTS_130303_108.JPG: James H. Malone Oct 31, 1851 - June 29, 1929 The 35th mayor of Memphis, 1906-1910, author of "The Chickasaw Nation". He shared a legal office on the 11th floor of the Exchange Building, overlooking Court Square, with his younger brother Walter Malone, judge of the Second Circuit Court of Shelby County. Walter was a writer and author of the famous poem "Opportunity". Mayor Malone said, "My great regret in leaving this office is the pleasure I have had in watching the pigeons and squirrels in this square. I am glad I have made it possible for them to be fed daily." This memorial was placed by Alba R. Malone 1991
3. COURTS_130303_148.JPG: In memory of Walter Malone Erected MCMXIX OPPORTUNITY They do me wrong who say I come no more When once I knock and fail to find you in; For every day I stand outside your door And bid you wake, and rise to fight and win. Wail not for precious chances passed away! Weep not for golden ages on the wane! Each night I burn the records of the day-- At sunrise every soul is born again! Dost thou behold thy lost youth all aghast? Dost reel from righteous Retribution's blow? Then turn from blotted archives of the past And find the future's pages white as snow. Art thou a mourner? Rouse thee from thy spell; Art thou a sinner? Sins may be forgiven; Each morning gives thee wings to flee from hell, Each night a star to guide thy feet to heaven. Laugh like a boy at splendors that have sped, To vanished joys be blind and deaf and dumb; My judgments seal the dead past with its dead, But never bind a moment yet to come. Though deep in mire, wring not your hands and weep; I lend my arm to all who say "I can!" No shame-faced outcast ever sank so deep But yet might rise and be again a man! Dost thou behold thy lost youth all aghast? Dost reel from righteous retributions blow? Then turn from blotted archives of the past, and find the future's pages white as snow. Art thou a mourner? Route thee from thy spell; Art thou a sinner? Sins may be forgiven: Each morning gives thee wings to flee from hell, each night a star to guide thy feet to heaven.
Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
