feels like desperation

 

I could feel the owner’s increasing desperation as I read the signs painted on the windows at this abandoned place.

But I am also entertained by the phone numbers, which seem truncated so that only the locals will be able to call. I’m not in real estate or anything but it sort of seems like if you’re really wanting to unload your property and there are only 580 people in your whole town, maybe putting a complete phone number would be advantageous.

only slow

My hotel room was billed as having a “city view” and I guess that it did, technically. I mean, it wasn’t a skyline view or anything like that, but everything I could see from the 7th floor was indeed part of the city. Including the newly-painted street directions.

after-hours bar

There was something about that fruit, left over from the night before, that called to me. And then, when I saw that red towel, I was unable to resist making a photo. (Although, if I am being honest, I would have made it without the towel.)

the town with no perspective

This place (apparently) has lost all perspective.

I’ll wait here until you notice why.

Oh, just playing around with my camera while the home team lost the game. What did you do the other night?
