Pics of Carleton Place and statue of Roy Brown

I was out yesterday and took a few pics of the town hall on the Mississippi River in Carleton Place, and a new statue of Roy Brown who was a local war hero in World War 1, given credit for shooting down the Red Baron with a total of 9 aerial attributes/credits.

I would have never guessed that was on the Mississippi River! I grew up in southeast Iowa, in a town right on the Mississippi River. Such a difference from American architecture.

Edit: I looked it up; I didn't realize there was a different Mississippi River in Canada.

@Byron8by7 sorry, but it's not the same Mississippi. In order to do that, it would have to loop very far to the west.

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP Yes, I understand now.

@Byron8by7 It's a fairly large tributary of water, definitely not as big as the great Mississippi in the US. I've posted pics of it in the past and some individuals from America were surprised we had our own one here in Canada.

@sensualbeauty1 I have learned something new in geography. Thanks for posting.
