Petersburg, Texas, In Scale And Detail

Now we are getting to the interesting bits.












Here are the hidden treasures, lurking in alleys.











It's so easy to overlook things like this.







We like to zooooom in. 







We will finish this series with a few humble homes-- next time!

A Festival In Petersburg

Some of the small towns in this area struggle to survive. I don't know whether that is true of Petersburg.








They did put on a nice little festival. They tried their best.







We enjoyed the old cars, lovingly restored.







Some people even collect and restore vintage tractors!









Next time, we will feature some of the buildings in Petersburg, some commercial and some residential.

A Festival In Petersburg!

Yes, not so long ago we journeyed to Petersburg, to attend a little festival there. It was a little cool and a little rainy, but we took some photos of the event, and whatever there was of interest in the small town. But we did not get there early enough for the parade.








There was music, and food, and there were equestrians giving free rides on their trained horses.







We were there for the old cars. They had some nice ones.











The owners of these vehicles were not afraid to get them out on the road. Not one of them arrived on a trailer. 

Packard knew how to make really strange looking cars! And then they went out of business.
More to come. More Petersburg for the people, yes.
