Small Town America – Rurality Blog Hop #28

Downtown LaCrosse WA - Whitman County

Small towns used to be the backbone of America.

:  :  :

I said used to be,

but in my heart I hope it still is.

Where community really means something.

If you want to hide,

move to a big city, where most people don’t even know the names of their next door neighbors.

In a small town,

you know and are known.

I like that.

:  :  :

Here,

in the very early morning,

just about twenty minutes after sunrise,

the shadows are long, the streets were quiet and deserted,

with the exception of one lady.

She was already busy watering the many pots of blooming flowers

around the short downtown main street of LaCrosse WA.

I wonder if she is the spirit

and effort behind the lovely flowers gracing main street.

:  :  :

I liked the play of light and shadow across the street.

Highlighting the LaCrosse Cafe and the Pastime tavern,

with the grain elevators towering over it all.

Of interest,

if you look there is the outline of a star atop the elevator,

I surmise it is lit up at

Christmastime.

  1. A familiar sight – West Virginia is built on one small community beside another small community; even our large cities are small by comparison. This is a comforting shot – a relatable spot where you can catch your breath and ‘fit in’.

  2. Madge, this shot could have been taken right here in Indiana. ;-) It reminds me of the small towns we drive through just north of Lafayette. I love the early light you captured.

    Didn’t have time for a new post this week, so I’m linking to one from earlier in the month.
