Tagging and street art in Detroit 48202 - Part 2

Here's some more of the photos I took after a morning at the VA Hospital in Detroit.

I went up to the train tracks to have a better look around. They are about 30 or so feet above street level.

So I walk across the tracks and see this (next two pics)... a couple hollowed out buildings with some brightly-colored street art on the inside.

And I had to get back across the tracks before this rolling train cut me off from my car.

My next couple posts will be what I saw in the hollowed-out buildings on the other side of the train tracks.

Tagging and street art in Detroit 48202 - Part 1

I was down again at the VA Hospital in Detroit, I brought my camera along, and I took a drive to see what was around there to see and I found some nice tagging and street art.

Through Southern Indiana

These are photos from southern Indiana during the last day of my trip from Detroit. I woke up that morning in a rest stop somewhere in Tennessee and drove further north till I found a place for coffee.

I had left Detroit on January 14th (1st post about my trip) and it was the 20th and I was headed back. I had driven the back roads of six states and Indiana was going to make seven.

Along US 70 West in Tennessee

It's still Day 3 of my trip south and  it's still morning in Tennessee. I'm now traveling west on US 70, going from Dickson to Huntington. It hasn't warmed up at all from the previous night of freezing rain which hit western Tennessee; the storm even dropped some snow in northern Mississippi.

The day before I had driven through Kentucky and couldn't really find anything I thought was Kentuckian. Most everything looked like something I might see in rural Michigan.

But this home and property seemed like Tennessee to me. 

Still cold, about 20 or so degrees as I recall. See the drips of ice?

And an out building for power equipment, tools and such.

Here's a small house I liked.

The Dixie Radiator Service in Waverly, Tennessee

This trailer was across US 70 from some railroad tracks.

I like house trailers so I pulled over to take a look. Because of the location it may have once been used as an office or a work area of some kind. I like the built-on in the front. Anyway, now it's just some junk storage for someone.

This is from the Broadway Street/US 70 bridge going over the Tennessee River just west of New Johnsonville, Tennessee.

I was plenty nervous up there. It was cold, windy and that railing was low, probably only about 3 foot high. I was parked on the side (the shoulder was wide) and taking pictures while trucks rolled by. I didn't get too close to that edge.

The rusty superstructure is for the train tracks below.

And Bogle Motors in Bruceton, Tennessee caught my eye as I drove by.

The lady who was there to open up the place pulled on the lot in her pickup and we waved to each other as I drove out. If it was a few minutes earlier we might of had a nice chat but I'd been on the road for awhile and I wanted to hit Huntingdon where I was going to turn south towards Mississippi.
