One More Day Exploring Maysville
Paintings on the floodwall and old brick building
View from W. Third St
Spent another day walking parts of Maysville, I wore my poor doggy out yesterday with way too much walking, I think, so we took it a little easier today. Explored the west end of town, walking up and down Second and Third streets. Amazingly historic, awesomely interesting. It was garbage day today so there were cans out on the sidewalk, lucky people in rowhouses who just put them out front of their homes. I watched others dragging cans up and down numerous steps to get either to the street in front or behind their homes. I still haven't tried to drive up the steep, in town hills. I feel much better just walking! Although some of the sidewalks are simply dizzingly crazy with narrow walks and drop offs on one side, the street on the other. For a flat-lander, this is quite an adjustment!
I love the colorful rowhouses in the last picture, pink, purple, orange.... Wow!
My dog and I spent time relaxing at the River Park watching the river and a big coal barge that slowly passed down river. I'd like to see the town at night with the bridge lit up and houses lighting the hills, but my hotel is up on the hill where the new shopping district is. This could be anywhere USA out here at the hotel, all the big box stores, chain restaurants, 4 lane busy road, it's nice that it is totally separated from the old part of town which has retained its historic identity.
Thank you again to all the wonderful, friendly people who shared so much useful information with me and made me feel welcome in their town!
