We have often commented when driving through small towns that many of the Main Streets in these old downtowns look alike. Yet, each has its unique identifiers. So, borrowing some of HMC’s ideas, we will be publishing a series of Downtown USA photo puzzles. From the posted coordinates, walk just past 1 full block north and 1 full block east, on both sides of the street. The pictures are not in any order. Hope you find something new.
