After being sidelined for one week due to the Street Glide’s dead battery, we set out this weekend for Huntington and Wabash Counties. Huntington was our first stop. Since Huntington has the one way streets, a railroad track very close to the courthouse, and some odd merging intersections, I was glad to be here on a Sunday when there was very little traffic. With the lack of people in midtown Huntington, one would expect it to be quiet, but Huntington was anything but quiet. There were speakers playing music, a train racing through town, and one passer-by even stopped to chat and recommended other notable places where we might enjoy photographing. I think this makes Huntington a friendly place to visit where there aren’t too many dull moments.
My chauffeur waits patiently, with Black Betty, while I snap photos in Huntington, IN. The cornerstone for the Huntington County Courthouse was just a bit difficult to read. Something has filled in the letters (maybe dirt?). Since the cornerstone has been in place since 1903, 110 years, maybe it deserves a little TLC rather than a good cleaning. Railroad tracks run a few yards south of the courthouse. While we were there a train came through. We were amazed at how fast this train sped through the middle of town. I thought this war memorial plaque, on the side of the courthouse, was very interesting. It refers to "The" World War. I assume it refers to WWI. I hadn't considered it before but, at the time, they had no way of foreseeing there would be a number 2. odd fellows hall Hmmmmm, Flint Springs. What do you think, should Huntington change its name?
