If there's one thing I've learned about people in small towns, it's that as a whole they are patriotic folk. Take the residents of L-Town, for instance. Many adorn every possible spot on their houses, in their front yards, even on their vehicles with American flags and decorations in red, white, and blue for Independence Day.
The 4th of July celebration here takes the form of Heritage Days, which this year stretched from Thursday evening through Saturday night. Three nights of live music on the street next to the courthouse, a flea market, and random other events were among the highlights.
The live music was fun, the flea market a total bust (Conservative Family laughed when I said I wanted to go, and now I understand why—someone was selling bottles of mustard, if that tells you anything). One of the better sights of the weekend? The antique cars that lined up around the town square. What can I say? I'm a sucker for old cars. Here's are some more shots, in case you're interested (and if you're not, pretend you are for a second, OK?):
(With that store front–one of my favorite L-Town shops, by the way—doesn't this shot look something out of an old movie? I love it.)
