The view up Main Street in Saint George
Sighted between Saint George and Wamego
The main drag, Lincoln Street
Our new Coffee House, Lincoln Perk! Yum, Mocha Latte...
Buildings on Lincoln Street
This is the town centerpiece, the historic Columbian Theatre
Nothing like down-home vittles at the Friendly Cooker
I could not resist this sign on Main Street
A Wamego institution, Duckwall's General Store
Dollarless since the days of the Dalton Brothers
An FHA Senior project of the long gone Saint George Senior High School
Re-furbished. No gas, someone's office space

Finally a place worthy of my Coffee Jones

The second floor is a B & B (one of the oldest in Kansas), the Eagle View Inn which is named for the fact that it is right across from the Columbian Theatre which is topped with the huge concrete eagle.
Yeah, computers and internet go together, but cattle feed too? What's up with that?
Reminds me of the dime stores that I frequented as a child. Those of you who only know Walmart as a general merchandiser, I pity you...
