The daylilies that were planted last summer along the Rose Walk leading to the Pigeon Depot Museum in downtown Pigeon are a blast of color this week. Pigeon's Farmers' Festival starts on Thursday and downtown Pigeon looks pretty spiffed up.
A white pickup from Trost Farms is headed south on Main Street past the Pigeon Inn, one of several bars in town. The railroad track cuts through downtown from east to west, running past commercial buildings and residences.
More small town ephemera in this photo:
++ The classic red fire hydrant -- What would Main Street America be without these?
++ The gray and white garage type building in the right background is the old "Baerwolf Den." Once home of a collection of antique cars, now it houses part of the growing Agri-Valley Communications staff.
++ Overhead utility poles -- One of my father-in-law John Eichler's big dreams was getting rid of all of the poles and wires and paraphernalia hanging overhead in the downtown area of Pigeon. Dad Eichler has been gone since 1988. The poles are still here.
