tin ceiling

Winter got to Joplin the very same day that I did, so my photos were made on very short walks. One of these walks (a walkette?) I happened to see what I am sure started its life as a car repair garage. Currently it is a restaurant supply place and kudos to the current people for keeping those old tin ceilings. That’s a nice bit of history and nostalgia.

celebrating years

I love how the Munger Moss Motel is proud of being on Route 66, but also sort of shy about announcing just how many years they’ve been there. I mean, I get it: I’m of a “certain age” myself and would prefer to have to say that big ol’ number out loud.

So, same, Munger Moss Motel, same.

Pinga’s

I haven’t been out shooting new stuff in a while, so here’s some older things (but never before edited, so they’re also new).

This restaurant in Missouri didn’t make it, even with the decorative saguaro painted on the building. It’s a shame.

tiny rivers

The only reason I saw these tiny rivers easing their way from the puddle behind them is that I sat in the drizzle and took some time to look around me. You know: just being a photographer.

“espresso shots”

Yikes! There’s a lot going on here. But my favorite (and the reason for the photo) is the paper plate that’s serving as a sign on the wall of this bakery.

But I do wonder what exactly is the difference between regular espresso shots and their offer of “espresso shots.”
