I'll bet if those tracks could talk, you'd be listening to stores for a long, long time!Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14555472024981357622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091482938936227290.post-37808727735454784632011-07-30T11:23:59.224-05:002011-07-30T11:23:59.224-05:00Hi Russell good to see you back on the blog.

No much going on in Stanwood but not too many empty shops either. <br />Thanks for visiting my blog.<br />MBSmall City Sceneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12307313549480618415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091482938936227290.post-16999412122150739962011-07-30T08:36:38.223-05:002011-07-30T08:36:38.223-05:00Hi Russell!

Maybe a small cafe remains open, filled only with old men drinking their morning coffee, or an occasional couple having a sandwich at noon. Or there may be the local watering hole, also mostly empty. Schools are consolidated, post offices are closing, and everyone has gone to Walmart in the closest larger town. <br /><br />So sad.Margehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15398347951744910818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091482938936227290.post-66169498622044324042011-07-29T08:22:22.818-05:002011-07-29T08:22:22.818-05:00that's a very sad looking pics. it's deser...that's a very sad looking pics. it's deserted... but at the end you give life and light by seeing and capturing that rainbow.<br /><br />have a great weekend ahead...<br /><br />JJRod'zJJ Roa Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11501127870785148555noreply@blogger.com
