Thanks for the clarification. Apparently that change was made after I had gone pro, so I wasn’t aware of it. When I first joined in 2005 I don’t think they could.

Nice summary of the Flickr changes. I agree with the angry online mob the distinction between two different Pro users is bizarre.
I do have one correction. Non-pro users could upload full-size images, but what they couldn’t do (until yesterday) was view the images full-size.

Mark, that’s the school I remember seeing, and it’s probably the one Thomas meant. The old two-story school is the one that’s no longer standing.

Money was approved by state(SC) in late 2012 to construct a takeout area at the SC Hwy 39 bridge…Cannot wait to see construction begin, as it is certainly a challenge to get the kayaks out…Paddled it twice last year and hope to again when wx gets warmer…

That school is still there(LARGE BRICK STRUCTURE) and they have had some small reunions….U.S.Post Office is still operational and a nice country store is there also.

Sad the line has become a rail trail. Shame it could not be saved or have some tourist line potential.
