If you need to stop for the night
Say you’ve decided to check out the West Sweden Cemetery for yourself, and need a place to spend the night. You might check here first, seeing as it’s got refrigerated air as well as vented heat. I’m not all that sure what “vented heat” is, but it must be nice if a fancy place like the Hi-Way Motel has it.

There’s just the one terminal
Well, sure the sign DOES say “Terminal A.” Good luck finding Terminal B, though, as there’s only one terminal, and it only has one gate.
The good news is that baggage claim isn’t very far away.
Oh, and the runway is listed as “gravel/grass.”

The night door
Next to this building, the soft light of the frosted-glass door spills out onto South Congress Avenue. I had to time the shot to occur during gaps in pedicabs heading down the sidewalk toward the more lively parts of South Congress.

Dirty windows
Just like this place, I have the idea this vacant building won’t be around too much longer. It used to be the location of a very interesting furniture store, but it’s in sort of an awkward location – across the lake from downtown, too far up Congress from the hip SoCo neighborhood. I hope that the stonework survives whatever comes next. And that someone washes the windows.

Please don’t block gate(s)
Third in a series of signs telling us what not to do – this time we are not supposed to block the gate. Or gates. Take your pick, I guess, of the two messages.
The place looked like it had been abandoned for a while, so I am not sure why it matters if the gate(s) is/are blocked or not. But still – it’s probably for the best if you heed the warning.
