Main Street

The streets of many of New Zealand's small towns and settlements have changed little since the 1950s or even the 1930s.  No shopping malls, just shops - single storey buildings of traditional wood construction or of stone, often fronted by a simple arcade, lining the streets;  here, in Lumsden, South Island.

A much more peaceful and quiet time, I think. I good look into times long past.
That's why we sought out a small town for retirement - very tired of the "City" hassle, traffic, air quality, and congestion.

Ian, my immediate thought was a small town named Benton in Nevada. The couple buildings and the street gave me an immediate thought of that similar site there.
Only change for possible improvement was to swing ever so slightly right to include the extended end of the street light hanging out there.
