Williams Street

My journey started early one morning after several cups coffee.
I thought "finally a nice fall day for a bike ride".
So I headed south along the Ohio River.
After a hour or so of I came upon a sleepy little river town,I needed a break and more coffee.
When I parked the bike I looked up and this is what I saw.



And I thought hmm that name seem familiar and went in the corner store for a drink.

When I came out of the local quick shopp it struck me...viola.
And yes this is Kentucky we pronounce that work just like it's spelled.

Andy from Dgrin of course...duh

So I thought I would check out Mr.Williams street.(with my camera of course).

Here's a IR shot of Mr. Williams entire street.
Two whole blocks.



First thing I noticed was the people on Williams St. sure are a patriotic bunch.







Next I could see there was lots of beautiful fall colors on Williams St.







Now this was a surprise...I thought this was in Iowa...nope right here on Williams St.



There seemed to be everything you need on Williams St.
If you need car parts no problem.





Lawn care equipment.
Need more storage for the garage here you go.
How about exercise equipment?

And yea even the kitchen sink.



And if you’re thinking of causing some trouble on Williams St. don't bother.

Here's the jail.





And finally across the tracks and at the end of Williams St. was a nice little house.



There sure was a lot to see on such a short street.

Hope you enjoyed my journey down Williams St.
Hope you liked it too Andy

Fred

Great idea Fred! I thoroughly enjoyed your venture....some really great shots. I especially like the porch with the pots of flowers and the gate. Amazing what one can find on one street, isn't it? (Of course, it wasn't just ANY street!) No sighting of Mr. Williams himself, I gather?

Thanks Susan,
For a street that's only two blocks it sure had a lot of stuff to shoot.
Very cool river town to explore too.
