Thanks, Bob, Jeffery, Jack, and Dan. Abandon Church is a favorite for me, but Goat Taco is right up there. Darrel loves the sign, "Soup coming soon"--that sign really cracks him up. The morning I took the storefront pictures, we were probably driving at about 30-35 mph, with quite a bit of morning stop and go; we'd left the north side about 7:15 a.m. Stop and go traffic doesn't really help much-- the car never seems to stop where and when you'd prefer. Still, it's a fun challenge for a photographer. Cheers, Christine
