From Lois' Hands: Out on the Town in Ripley, Ohio

Out on the Town in Ripley, Ohio

Good morning,

Today's images are from Ripley, Ohio, and the newer entertainment establishments we found there.

The turtle above is out in front of the Snapper Saloon.

This place is new since we were last here a couple of years ago.

On our last visit we stopped in here for ice cream. Yum! This time, though, we had just eaten so passed on the ice cream.

This little row of buildings is overlooking the Ohio River. Flood waters have found them many times since they were built here.

This little town also has flag-lined streets as do many others on our mini road trip through Southern Ohio. Love it!

Enjoy,
Lois

Lois Evensen said...: Hi Everyone,

We do have a grand time on our road trips. This trip is all within a day's ride of home. As much as we travel long distances, there is so much to see close to home.

Thank you so much, everyone, for stopping by and for your kind comments.

Very best,
Lois; August 18, 2011 at 11:17 AM
