Parking is Available
By now, you are all aware of my strong affection for parking garages, aren’t you? Empty ones, in particular. And empty ones at night? Photographer’s heaven!

I think I found Dan Fogelberg
This fellow seemed familiar, but I couldn’t quite place him at first.
But later, it came to me:

A lot to offer
There are some records that this little town was settled as early as 1793, although Wikipedia hedges a bit: The community known as Chataignier had a beginning, but its age will never be determined. The age of a community is a nebulous thing, depending on whether one uses as point of inception the date of the arrival of the first settler, the establishment of the post office, the coming of the railroad, or any other such memorable happening. Resources for determining the historical origin of a community such as Chataignier are limited. For such information, one must rely on a few recorded instances coupled with the reliable knowledge of the elder members of the community.
(That is actually the most amusing town history I have ever read. Thanks, anonymous Wikipedia person!)
And none of that really even matters. What I wanted to say about this is that there is a strong likelihood this store carries whatever it is you are looking for.

Joubert
It was very nice of the roof to fall apart the way it did, so that a bit of additional light fell onto Mr. Joubert’s name.

Ghosts of Bad Vacations Live Here
This place? Yeah, I have no idea what was going on – there were hundreds of travel trailers, in varying degrees of falling apart, parked side by side by side. (You can see an aerial view here. And now there are even more trailers than this view shows.)
Not all vacations end well, I suppose.
