Here are a few picture of New Town. I’m still a bit doubtful frankly... of either the town or my photography abilities, or both. These were taken on my bday as part of the quasi adventuring meant to spruce up the day. Many signs of spring abound. As well as some desolation in so many empty and/or struggling storefronts. There are more faded signs on brick buildings, more architectural details to cover. And let’s not forget the Tobacco District. I’ll get there someday. It’s a photojourney, or somethinglikethat.
Historic bldgs. Part of some tour?
Episcopalian church that I attended a few times.
Outside view of the post office, which btw is not v. clearly marked. I finally found where it actually says “post office.” Does not exactly stand out when driving by in one’s car.
Love these. However. at least one of these places hosts skeezy clientele. So I hear.
Whimsy.
Children.
Uhh… deer? And some sober words.
Streetviews.
There’s another wig shop right across the street. Seriously.
And yet this entire panorama of stores is abandoned.
Glimpse of aforementioned Tobacco District.
J.Lo’s office building. And the historic marker out front. We hope not heavy with symbolism.
Next door – justice.
True story ~ K.Lo: “Mommy, how did that man get turned to stone?”
Another side street.
And the magic of tutus, striped socks and soccer cleats.

I love K.Lo's fashion choice and stone question.
There's charm here, for certain. Perhaps the emptiness will be filled again soon. I'm intrigued by the tobacco district. All that lovely brick...
Dear K.Lo, He was VERY bad and didn't listen to his mother. Let this be a lesson. heh.
Nice job. it's nice to see where you live. I've been through towns like this, where there are really odd shops surviving and others completely gone. It's sad, but kind of interesting too. Like a mystery.
Nice photos! Bummer about all the empty store fronts (although maybe a great deal if you decide to start your own business), but nice to see the valuing of the history.
