protective
Honestly, in spite of a festive street fair going on at the same time we were there, this town gave off some really creepy vibes.
Like these awnings, which made me nervous even though their ONLY JOB is to protect the stuff beneath them.

ring light
Barbershops fascinate me, for reasons that I can’t figure out.
But anyway, I can’t recall seeing one that had such modern lighting. (Also I did enjoy the way the two capes were draped over the chairs.)

yes, yes they are
I will ABSOLUTELY agree with that sign: every macaron in the case is definitely gluten free.

dancing feet
I was walking toward the mural to get a photo and noticed the reflection in the car window; my trip was halted right then.
Sometimes I can be easily distracted…

nazareth hospital (and barbed wire)
At some point this was a hospital – the Nazareth Hospital – and then at a different point it was abandoned and had sheet metal over some of the windows and a barbed wire fence around it.
Here are some things I learned from the internet.
The place opened in 1937; in 1931 the Holy Sisters of Nazareth purchased it and renamed it. It was used as a hospital until 1970, when a new facility was built. After that, the building was used for a variety of things until it was abandoned in the early 2000s.
And now, for $99 you can spend six (after dark) hours inside the place with “experienced paranormal investigators” and discover the “secrets” of the place. The fact that the website promoting this adventure misspelled “skeptical” makes me, well, skeptical about the whole setup.
