Allsup’s. Or the Steak House Cafe. (A couple of options in town. Pick the Steak House Cafe. Trust me.)

non-united

I’m not even going to attempt to explain the Methodist church and the fissures that are now creating the Global Methodist Church from certain previously-affiliated United Methodist congregations. You can Google that on your time.

The not-very-neatly-applied duct tape on this sign sort of told me what I needed to know here.

cinderella

I was at least 100% certain I’d never been in Hagerman before. I would have argued with anyone who tried to convince me otherwise. However, if the files on my computer are to be believed, I was there on May 10, 2014.

On that forgotten visit, I failed to photograph the Cinderella shoe left behind in a storefront display, but I got it this time around.

bar

I guess there *is* such a thing as “too early to drink”? But an open door into an empty bar did provide a lovely photo opportunity.

slide damage

I have a small body of work that includes playground equipment. Slides are particularly well-represented, for some reason.*

This slide, which looks to have had an encounter with a vehicle, is my current favorite. (And will be, too, until I the next time I see a playground that needs photographing.)
