places we love: This Place Matters celebrates valentines day!

As Valentines Day approaches, we're looking for love in all the right places. You know - that place where you met that special someone, or where you first realized that she was more than just the girl next door.

So what do you say, America? Let's hear from you! Send us a picture of the movie theater where you first shared popcorn, the street corner where he (or she) popped the question, or the place you said "I do".

We're hoping to collect 100 love stories to celebrate the role that places play, not just in national history, but in our own personal histories. Upload your photo to our This Place Matters photo pool, then tell us your "love story" and what it means to you. We'll select our favorites and showcase them on PreservationNation on Valentines Day!

Check out the places that have been uploaded so far and comment on the photos!
