Spent some time wandering around Staunton, IL today. A small town of ~5,000 residents, about 45 minute drive northeast of St. Louis.
We get up here occasionally, my wife hits the quilt shop(s) and I wander looking for photo ops. I think this town is slowing fading away, which is a bit sad. In fact, today's trip was to hit the quit store before the owner retires and they close.
Anyway, I found this entry on once of the side street, thought it was interesting.
