Boyer Road

A year ago I stopped at the Thriftway to pick up my morning caffeine hit (an RC cola) and proceeded to drive around the block--a country block--to look for photographs. On Boyer Road (pictured above) I found a bean field (the day's other outtake).

These countryside-receding-into-the-distance pix are the photographs I do best, I think. You'll see more.

The 366 Snaps photo (it's below) is of the automobile body shop that's kitty-corner from Mulliken's store. Within my memory it housed the local auto parts business, Sharp's Supply, but they moved into a storefront down the road about 25 years back. The big grey building's still part of Sharp's, though; they do body and mechanical work, and general automotive restorations. Some of the restorations are pretty exotic.

My 1895 plat map tells me that the building was originally a school. But gosh that's a big school for a very small town out in the middle of nowhere. Most of the surviving local schoolhouses around here were one-room joints; this baby dwarfs those. I need more history, here....
