Mowyrstown, Ohio

Good morning,

We are still on our mini road trip in Ohio.  We passed through Mowyrstown, Ohio, when we passed through the only intersection in town.  When we realized we wanted to get pictures of that corner we turned into a parking lot next to the church to turn around.  Directly ahead of us was a back yard clothes line with three quilts blowing in the breeze.  The above image is taken through the windshield from quite a distance away.

It was quite a windy day to be replacing the roof on the three story U.S. Post Office, but these men were hard at work.  Every time there was a gust of wind, more shingles brought themselves down to the ground.

And, it is quite a long way down.

 That stop light up there is the center of town.

 Across the street is the Presbyterian Church.  I wonder if that is home made ice cream for sale. :)

 What a lovely church.

 I wonder how many people worship here from the many nearby farms.

We had parked in a gas station to walk around and take these pictures. 

 I don't have pictures of the gas station, but directly across the street from it, on the fourth corner of the town is this row of stores.  There wasn't much happening in town other than the few cars that went by and the roof work.  These stores appeared empty except for that doorway on the right.

 As we pulled out of the gas station and on our way toward Hillsboro, Ohio, I could see into the entryway of this building.  It appears someone spends some comfortable time here watching the traffic in the center of town.

This was a quiet place and a bit eerie.  There were traces of people, but very few people here.

Tomorrow we'll move on to Hillsboro.  I hope you'll join us.  :)

Best,
Lois
