Intersection

I really do like brick streets: they have more character than asphalt paving. Also, they provide some helpful leading lines in this shot of yet another abandoned gas station.

(Don’t worry if you’re driving through Olney and are low on fuel: there’s a Shell station over on the main road.)

Howard

Howard’s place isn’t looking so great.

But what this image made me start thinking about is how, when that metal building across the street from Howard’s starts to fall down, it won’t look nearly as interesting as this.

From the looks of things, it took that chair three years to move four feet to the left.

Toward the end, things were falling apart

This place is falling down, from the ground up.

And, to be honest, it’s also falling down from the roof down.

It’s another verse in the same song out here: another small-town business is gone.
