Wordless Wednesday - May 13, 2008
(click on photo to see a larger version)
One of my favorite restaurants in Monroe is the Warehouse No. 1, which locals refer to simply as the Warehouse. It sits on the Ouachita River and serves wonderful steaks and seafood. It is exactly what the name implies, a converted warehouse. I took this picture over 20 years ago with my old Olympus 35m film camera shortly after I got the camera. The drive is not accessible to the public. I climbed over a restraint to get to the point where I set up the shot.
I just recently scanned this photo and one other black and white shot I took at the same time of the railroad bridge, which is one of the bridges in the background, in to my computer.
If you're ever in Monroe, Louisiana and are looking for a really good place to eat, I highly recommend the Warehouse.
As for Wordless Wednesday, I'm sorry, I just don't think it is in me to be wordless!

Your efforts of climbing over the restraint was worth it...great shot...and perfect that you chose to present it in grayscale! Thanks for the tip and happy WW...

Beautiful in understatement.

I absolutely love this shot! I'm hungry now.
Awesome photo! It looks like you just drive off the road into the water. Beautiful black and white.

What was stored in the warehouse before it became a restaurant?

What a cool picture! My daughter just graduated from nursing school May 3rd. She will be taking her Inclux soon. She starts work in June at a big hospital working in labor and delivery.
We also have a town called Monroe in Washington. It is also on a river, the Skykomish, but no Warehouse restaurant. Nice shot. MB
That is a cool picture and thanks for the background and recommendation!
Thanks for stopping by my WW.
Tink, I haven't a clue as to what was stored there. I don't know who owned the building prior to the restaurant going in.
Great shot! I love the composition, (plus I have a thing for old buildings!)
Beautiful picture - this is something I would hang in my house.
Great photo!
Happy WW!

That looks like a place with wonderful atmosphere.
Beautiful! That's definitely somewhere I would want to visit. Wonderful shot.
I have to remember that if I'm ever in Monroe, LA. Have a great WW!
Wordless is hard, isn't it? What a wonderful photo. I bet the restaurant would love to have a copy. You could take then and now photos and maybe they would feed you free for life... ya never know....
Great photo! I've always had an appreciate for B&W pics.
Oh wow, what a great photo. If I ever happen to be in that area, I'll be sure to check it out.
Thanks for visiting my site! Happy Wordless Wednesday :)
What a great shot - the black and white was definitely a good choice - and I love the character in the "Warehouse!"
Happy WW!
Gorgeous shot! I love black and white photos.
I'm not very wordless either. It's hard for me NOT to write something!
Thanks for visiting my site today and leaving a comment!

As you've seen, I never do a "wordless" post for WW. I love hearing the stories behind the pictures. I enjoyed this image today. And I love it in b&w.
Sweet picture!! I really like old photographs in black and white.

I love your photo. Black and white pictures give a classic illusions.

you've found a vintage shot and a vintage resto.
I love the black and whites! You were quite the photographer even 20 years ago.
Love the photo. If I'm ever in Monroe, La, I hope I remember this place.
Hi Marsha, Yes, I have a friend in Monroe, LA. That is a wonderful-looking photo! Reminds me of a restaurant my huby and I went to in Isla Morada, FL last two yrs ago- it's like that by the ocean side. :)
