This is not open now, as so many small and local businesses are shut down. But, they were selling coffee. The building needs some TLC but it isn’t abandoned. I like the old stops along main streets in small (very small in this case) towns. One thing I noticed here were the birdhouses nailed up … Read more
Today I noticed this artwork of North American birds, by Michelle Scribbles. I see birds when I explore old places. Most birds avoid people but some will follow you, and attack you too.
