A tidy town
I like the way the squares and rectangles in this building line up. But mostly, I like the use of different arches – a couple of high ones, a few lower ones. And it all combines nicely to be a very tidy building, and the citizens of Alliance, Nebraska, ought to be proud.
Other images from Alliance include the Zesto sign, some (mostly) vacant storefronts, and another tidy building.

(Maybe I ought to go back to Alliance!)
August 18
Let’s say, hypothetically, that you and your writing partner time your departure from your writing retreat at Windbreak House, near Hermosa, South Dakota, in time to be in Chadron, Nebraska, for lunch. Because – again, hypothetically – you’d stopped at the Bean Broker on the way up (just for coffee, though) and had decided it would be a perfect place to have lunch on the way back home.
That would put you in the neighborhood of Alliance, Nebraska, around mid-afternoon. Hypothetically. And you decide to take a gander through downtown, because why not. Turn on the right combination of streets, and you’ll see this. Hypothetically, which I may have mentioned.
