Shadow Line

There is a surprising amount going on here, from the four circles to the one a/c unit to the stone trim to the boarded and bricked windows to the rhythm of the tiny arches.

But the best part was the shadows slanting away from their source.

If you need a sofa

Maybe, after all these stay-at-home months, you’ve gotten weary of your place. And maybe you’re thinking a change in furnishings might be just what you need to lift your spirits. And maybe you’re thinking specifically of acquiring a different sofa.

A pair of shoes and a flyswatter

If conditions permit, I will always peer inside an out-of-business business: I have a strange fascination with seeing what things were not important enough to have been taken. The best things I spotted here were the flyswatter hanging on the wall, and a pair of Crocs.

But that wall just behind the Crocs has a story, too. Someone had really good intentions – they framed it and installed the gyp board, but somehow the taping/floating/painting steps never happened.

Shade-tree Mechanic

The place is more or less equipped to fix your car, right there between the vanishing sign and the road, and (if you get there in the morning), you can even wait in the shade.
