Denison, Texas - driving through BIG little city of Denison offered a couple drive-by shootings of 2 murals & a nice “Welcome” sign to go with their water tower … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabSmallTownUSA #rabWaterTower #WaterTower #rabMurals #MuralsUSA #rabMurals #MuralsUSA #rabWestwardHo2022 #rabUSroute69 #USroute69 #rabTexas #Texas Thursday 11.17.22 (at Denison, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClGz6aKuBhL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Trenton, Texas - I always select the Business Route … otherwise the route bypasses the town & it’s people … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabSmallTownUSA #rabWaterTower #WaterTower #rabMurals #MuralsUSA #rabWestwardHo2022 #rabUSroute69 #USroute69 #rabTexas #Texas Thursday 11.17.22 (at Trenton, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClGxqvfuPfu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Celeste, Texas - another small town (population 822) has a really nice mural on an old bank - now Town Hall … lots of empty store fronts … another victim of the Interstate system … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabSmallTownUSA #rabMurals #MuralsUSA #rabWestwardHo2022 #rabUSroute69 #USroute69 #rabTexas #Texas Thursday 11.17.22 (at Celeste, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClGwS6Tul2F/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Adrian, Georgia - traveling US Route 80, I discovered a place to eat in Adrian - the “Farmhouse Cafe” … my after lunch walk-about was relaxing … the RC Cola machine is a nostalgic memory … the local police station, the water tower & several abandoned downtown buildings added nostalgic smiles to my visit #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabSmallTownUSA #rabWaterTower #WaterTower #rabUSroute80 #USroute80 #rabGeorgia #Georgia 06.08.22 (at Adrian, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CejVBF5OUzB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Emporia, Virginia - downtown Emporia is pretty darn cool ... I will return for a hangout visit ... main street is the “Lawyer Zone” #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2021 #DUSA2021 #rabSmallTownUSA #Emporia #rabVirginia #Virginia #rabRoadTrip2021 #rabLifeInQuarantine 03.10.21 (at Emporia, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMR80BFhe3A/?igshid=1l5dog14pvvzd

Ida, Louisiana - leaving Ida I saw this cool Ice House ... complete with mural and 1897 city date ... what I was REALLY surprised to see was stuck on the door frame - “Run-A-Way Bill” was here! before ... I forget, but smart enough to KNOW I forget, so DUH 🙄! #RunAwayBill #RunAwayBill #rabRoadTrip2021 #rabSelfies #rabSmallTownUSA #rabMurals #MuralsUSA #rabIdaLouisiana #IdaLouisiana #rabLouisiana #Louisiana #rabLifeInQuarantine 01.21.21 (at Ida, Louisiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKUDI9ThY3h/?igshid=1apu15blj1h8i

Ida, Louisiana - the 1926 “Carroway’s General Store” supplied the oil boom town of Ida in 1930’s ... groceries, hardware & even haircuts ... a place where famous politicians spoke from the porch (Huey Long has a NOLA Mississippi River bridge named after him) ... today “Carroway’s” is a reminder to “SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BUSINESSES!” - they may charge more, but the “tradition of small town USA” is worth it ... the SNOW PEOPLE poster quote gives hope to all “GOOD overcoming EVIL” (so timely) #RunAwayBill #RunAwayBill #rabRoadTrip2021 #rabSmallTownUSA #rabSelfies #rabFlo #rabGoWithTheFlo #rabLouisiana #Louisiana #rabHistorical #rabLifeInQuarantine 01.21.20 (at Carroway’s General Store) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKT-deUBMmp/?igshid=3j1fhiq6lmtm

Summerton, South Carolina - I discovered another interesting travel tidbit ... I am a fan of driving US routes and IS Route 301 runs from Delaware to Florida ... I started driving US Route 301 through Summerton, SC ... another sad “small-town-USA-dies” courtesy of the Interstate system #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2021 #DUSA2021 #rabRoadTrip2021 #rabSmallTownUSA #rabUSroute301 #USroute301 #rabSouthCarolina #SouthCarolina #rabLifeInQuarantine 01.10.21 (at Summerton, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ3rSBLhi5E/?igshid=10ns9ok8n7g11
