there used to be a grocery store

Of course the grocery store has closed. That’s, sadly, a common thing in these rural towns out here.

They’re replaced by nothing or by convenience stores or by dollar stores, none of which completely fill the gap, but all of which contribute to the rise of food deserts.

pastor’s parking

The pastor over at Evans Chapel gets to park right there in front of the church, which is probably pretty convenient on a busy Sunday.

municipal trident

I sure enjoy finding disused municipal buildings with the dashed dreams, the obsolescence, the broken windows, the non-operational signage, the random tridents….

is it, though?

Sure. The sign says the place is open. But all other context clues tell me otherwise.

cone trio

I’ve been busy for a while doing other photography stuff, and this was the first day in a while that I’ve been able to get back to my old-school methods of wandering around rural towns. It felt good.

And it felt especially good when I turned down an alley and saw three orange cones ahead of me. (It really is the small things…)
