Main Street U.S.A.

Friday's Main Street

Our first little mountain town Main Street is in Marshall, NC.  It runs along the French Broad River and railroad tracks. The picture below is the Court House.

Going across the bridge to "Blannahasset island".  It's residential, very hilly and the old high school is also there.

 When the new school was built the old school was turned into a number of artists' studios.  Wouldn't it be fun to take a peek inside?  Several of the studios are open to the public.

This piece of artwork is of Main Street, looking across from the bridge, you can identify the different buildings.  There is a stand in front of the piece which will be a description of the scene, artist one day.
Coming back to Main Street from the "island"

 Back on Main Street

More of the metal artwork

This is the Presbyterian Church (one of 3 on Main St.)  As I was taking pictures the Pastor came out and asked if I like taking pictures of churches.  I explained that we were registering our cars and that I love Main Streets in small towns.  To my delight I was given a tour of the church, and in the Fellowship hall (which is ceiling to floor of the most beautiful mahogany wood that I have ever seen) looking out the side window, inches away is the mountain that was blasted to erect the church.  It was a little frightening to see the blasted stone so close to the glass window.  The original building dates back to the 1800, this "new" building was built in the 1950's.

 This is the north side of the Church, see how close the mountain is, there is a little garden in the corner.
