An Ordinary Town Isn't Really Ordinary

2008.05.16
I passed these two chairs outside the back entrance to a bakery.

A local second-hand clothes store—

The thrift store piled the sidewalk in front of the store with items on sale. While I photographed this sofa someone offered the owner $45.00 for the sofa and two folding chairs.

Do you think these lobsters have only one claw?

An ancient ruin?

Where's Tom Sawyer when you need him?

This is part of a discarded machine—

It left me wondering what cost $3.29.

There are several churches—some in buildings and two in storefronts.

Monogramed walls.

A tree in front of the Town Hall.

A cluster of mushrooms near the police and fire department.

I found this outside a new restaurant.

It still works—on the side of the Congregational Church

Outside someone's house.

I love to walk around the downtowns of small towns and look for the unexpected—
I admit to usually passing by the manicured, well-finished, scrubbed down look—

I once sent a dozen of my friends a telegram saying 'flee at once - all is discovered.' They all left town immediately.”
