You know how much I love old, ragged buildings, right?

Earlier this month, I was in Austin, Texas, and decided to drive around some nearby small towns, seeking some photogenic (to me) buildings. However, I failed to account for the revitalization of places like Kyle and Buda. I mean, they are nice enough if you are looking for a town with a pie shop, or a store that sells scented soaps, or even a day spa.

But they just don’t work if you want something that hasn’t been (or won’t ever be) fixed up.

The town of Uhland, however, was perfect.
