Hey tweeps -- heading south on the train on a gorgeous fall day, so will be posting occasional photos of lovely things and abandoned stuff.
First up, Powell's Creek, where it enters the Potomac.

Chopawamsic Creek -- which is a great name
Places you wished you lived as you fly past
And fall colors that look like paintings.
America is beautiful
And we don't look around enough
Always love the houses by the rail lines -- especially in the south and across farm country.
Is it any wonder everyone fought to come here?
Just a farmhouse by a road somewhere.
Scenic mainstreet of a once-town. 4 of the shops in the photo are empty.
Another nowhere-town ...
... That once had a mill
Next town down the line, a town that once had a fine store
So, with the caveat that on the other side of this track is a huge new sponsored arts center -- the entire main street of Rocky Mountain NC is a ghost town.
And on both sides
But "Towel Town" 100% reminds me of the abandoned department store where they find Moon in @StephenKing's The Stand, so had to post.
Btw my niece made me a "snack" from her Halloween haul. She gave me all the Mr Goodbars because she doesn't know what they are, so I totally scored. Mr Goodbar is totally underrated.
Purple haze of cotton waiting for harvest.
Just went by a prominent Confederate flag, but I'm not posting that seditionist garbage.
Arriving imminently in Fayettenam, but if there's still something you don't understand about Irish music, you should have this song.
LOL they've made the arrival vista to Fayettenam even worse somehow.
Also it is still summer here, which I am totally done with.
