TOWN LIFE 13

More town photos... John has come to pick up his pregnant wife from the Cut and Curl beauty shop. He waits for a tour bus to pass by before getting into the car. When Myra became pregnant, he had to trade in his old Mustang in for something bigger, hence the station wagon. But, of course, they both miss the Mustang!
The top floor of the Kibri Apartments trades the bay windows for outdoor balconies. The three residents enjoy the air -and the view- frequently during the warmer months. Eventually, the building's owners plan to install roof-top HVAC units to provide better temperature control for the occupants.


Meanwhile, in front of the building, a grandfather takes a photo of his daughter and grandkids. Of course, after the shot they'll realize that a better photo would be in front of the flower shop!


Once again, it's trash time! City workers pick-up in the alley behind the pharmacy.


Miss Martha pushes her cart past the Salvation Army Thrift Store. She'll be back later for a hot meal and a place to stay; the upper stories are the soup kitchen/homeless shelter of the local organization. While the recession has increased the number of people in need of a meal, fortunately it hasn't lead to a big increase in the homeless population.
