Through Your Lens - Day Two

My friend Jenny (originally from Daily Dose of Motherhood) started a new blog for the new year and to showcase her amazing photo talent. through jenny's lens is a fun blog with new photos everyday! Best of all she's got a photo project going on right now!
Day two's theme is Something in Your Town.
Come along a journey through our Town

When you first arive in town, you'll come to our only source of gas, and munchies. The local C-Store lies right behind the above sign and is open from 6am-8pm all week long. They have some good pizzas if you're looking for something quick to feed your family. On a lunch basis they've got incredible specials! You'll turn on to Main Street, except it's called Pine Street because you see here we name our streets after trees and women. Main street offers the most you'll find in town. There's a bar, a bank, a style shop, a hardware shop, an insurance agent, an auto mechanic, the local villiage office, and of course the local post office.

Take a closer look at some apartments, and the local harware shop. I know you're not thinking hardware shop, but you see we've got a handyman on wheeles that has a shop uptown! If the white truck is sitting on main street, the handy man is in!

The local post office is where I'll be found every Saturday morning from 7:30 am until 9:30 am. You see my part time job is working as a PMR(post master relieve), and I LOVE IT!!!! I love my Post Master, and I love talking with the people of this town!

On your drive out of town you'll notice the local Coop. It's where farmers bring their hard earned harvest at the end of the year. But if you're an observer you'd have noticed it on your way in, considering it's across the "main road" from the little Gas Station!

Thank you for visiting our small town of 250 people, where 6 blocks by 7 blocks is enough to keep you satisfied!

Want to participate! Head on over to Jenny's Blog to play along!

  1. Your town is so nice! It might be smaller than Firth but it seems like you have more businesses than us. I can't wait to see Gresham in person someday. :)

  4. Apparently, somewhere along this blog journey I missed the "small" part of your town. 250 people! And I thought I grew up small with 1100. Hmmmm. :)
