But, honey, it's for the calender...seriously!

OK may as well get this started

Believe it or not this used to be a 9 hole par 3 golf course with a pool and community building. First they filled in the pool. Then abandoned the golf course and finally tore down the building. Mother nature has taken it back over.

a few years ago this was a thriving pony keg down in town. Been abandoned for a few years now. Just one example of a lot of dead businesses down in our little river town.

A little further east along the river was a nice little bakery/coffee shop/deli

not enough people appreciated it

At one time this old barn housed farm equipment, maybe stacked hay or tobacco, and might have protected some livestock in better times

Mmm, this is gonna be a sad theme November. :-/

For the November challenge, it's your bike in the frame with someplace or something that has seen better days. Ideally, it'd come with a story too (but doesn't have to). For example, this place was a local bar just a few miles up the street up until 2011. The story is that it somehow was associated with a couple of murders. Then it sold to some younger couple who had plans to renovate it. There was a building permit issue, and it's been falling apart ever since. Too bad because it was a popular joint for the old-time locals that have been here long before suburbia encroached.

Hope this qualifies ...

Yea things change over time. Like an old forest, it gets struck by lightning, burns down, opens up ground to the sun, and new plants grow. Pretty soon a thriving new forest.

There are also new vibrant businesses that have opened up in our little town. A couple of restaurants with live entertainment/outdoor seating, and a coffee shop

Interesting.

I wonder if that rope keeps people off the lawn?

It’s attached to my Honda, for days when I have trouble keeping my balance.

The Morristown Hotel is about 50 miles west of Phoenix, Arizona, USA, on highway 60. It was built in 1899 and is on the national historic register. It was a hotel before there were cars, a store and a gas station. Like me, it has seen better days. Sorry I didn't get a better shot of my bike, but this was taken from the middle of what is now a very busy highway. Better planning for the next attempt.

Good pic Nachodaddy. Bet that was really something at one time.

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

That is a wonderful snap and background story Nachodaddy.

This was a stop I took earlier in the year. An old farm cottage that has seen better days. These are dotted about all over Ireland, often homes or just shelters to farm workers from a good while back.

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

Looks like a [home] builder's opportunity Tev, maybe if it wasn't so close to the road?

Nice capture.

Beautiful photo, Tev62. Imagine the work that went into finding and placing the stones for that lovely little cottage.

nice shot. Looks like you’re riding exactly my model and same color, just one year younger. Does your ‘red’ have that golden sparkle in bright sunlight ?
Any chance you’ll ride her in continental Europe one day ?

The paint job does have that lovely sparkle in the sun, it looks well. I doubt I will ever make it to mainland Europe on the CB. I love it for day rides but my Tiger 1200 does the longer days for the added comfort, the difference is significant. I have a pretty screwed up back and motorcycling in general is tough on that for me. The Tiger has superb WP adjustable suspension and I definitely need it for multiple days on the road.
