^ Nice photos as always, Mindfulness. In my book, Waterloo wins as looking more interesting than Columbia.
How do you choose the towns you feature here? Is it by random clicking on the internet, or are you telling us a tale of your travels round the US?
To answer my own question, I saw Marion, N.Carolina, on t.v. and was struck by how attractive it looked:-
...and why was Marion on tv ? According to the "Cold Case" series I was watching, within the space of a year, two members of the same family were murdered in different incidents by different perpetrators. I wonder if, as you drive into town, the sign now reads, "Welcome to Marion - unlucky for some."
