Ness City is the kind of place where there’s a building nicknamed “The Skyscraper of the Plains.” And it’s four stories tall*.

To be fair the SOTP is a pretty fantastic building, made from stone and full of grand architectural details. There are other once-elegant buildings in town which makes me think the place was once a wealthy town.

So of course I spent most of my time in town checking out the truck with a carpet, carpet padding, and a chair. It was very nice.

*Or three. It depends on which Wikipedia article you’re looking at. The SOTP also has a basement, so who even knows what’s going on with the floor-count.
