Just walking around town, Part II

After we left the place with the beautiful flowers, I just had to go back and check something I thought I'd seen on the way over. Sure enough, there was a smoking trash bin. It was enclosed, it wasn't out of hand, and there was nothing else close by to catch fire. So I decided to just take some pictures of it.





The alleyway was between some old factory buildings. I don't know if these turned out as well as I'd have liked, but it was the rust pattern that intrigued me.




There was a pretty good-sized tree of heaven growing here.



And somebody'd been hanging out back here.



Then we went over to a spot where feral cats were living. We'd seen them in there with empty cans and paper plates from people feeding. I was disappointed when we got there and all of the cats were gone. They were being live-trapped and taken to a shelter. But here are some pictures of where they had lived.




The little pink spot on the door was the note to not feed the cats anymore.


I think this is kind of a neat mural.



This place calls itself a Bar & Grill, but it's mostly a bar where the girls who work there wear bikinis, hence the name Tini Bikini's.



I just liked these old Liquor/Food signs.



Dodd's is the only going concern in this building. He's ancient and has had this business forever. He sells CDs but he also has hundreds of vinyl records. As old as he is, he's really sharp, and knows a lot about the music he has there. The Downtown Market, mostly a liquor store, on the right was in business when we moved here but hasn't been for quite a while.



I hope you've enjoyed the rest of my walk through town with me.
