I thought I would share some more photographs of the little town I live in.
I took these yesterday about three streets over from my house. Most of my neighbors are rather quiet.

thank you ThriftyGypsy
Your neighbours must be quiet, if living here they would be mice :)
I love the effect the three photos convey, almost a ghost town, but very beautiful and nostalgic, so many memories in these old buildings. How many people in your town, I imagine they run to the window if a car drives by ?!~
I find it ironic that the last "house" has a satellite dish on the roof in the upper right hand corner.
Thank you very much PhilDavidAlexanderMorris, cogito, tlmbaran, ThriftyGypsy, Vontrike & olegaclockman47. I am not really sure of the population, the high school graduating class averages about 35 each year. We have one stoplight, a post office, 2 convenience stores, 2 restaurants, 2 bars, a tire fix-it shop, a bronze foundry, storage units and a hay sales place.
Yes, the satellite dish gives a great look!
Yes, the
I always wished I lived in a very small town. Maybe in another lifetime !~
