Shiner, Texas

Shiner, TX, has more than just it's brewery to be proud of. I thought the little streets and building were very appealing and it made me think about what it is that makes one little town, with old buildings, look so appealing, where another little town might just look shabby.

Some of us has to do with the maintenance. . . fresh paint, not allowing the city to fall into disrepair. . . .


. . . attention to detail and actually using downtown space for small little enterprises. . .
. . . . a spy, or two, with a camera. . .

. . . . and of course, making sure the town has the wonderful Doug to grace it's space with his presence!

What a cute little town. My favorite is the photo of the bench. Really? There was actually a pillow on that bench on the sidewalk? THAT is cute. :)

I agree that Shiner is a neat little town. They sure keep it clean and nicely maintained!

With the shapes and designs of the buildings - it puts me to mind of a freshly painted Western movie scene. The citizens of Shiner do a good job keeping up appearances. Speaking of which, very nice job of photographing Doug. Love the wheel spokes in the background.

Very cute and appealing! They really like their star, huh? I've noticed it in a few of the recent photos, this time on the stained glass . . .

Any place with wonderful Doug in it is a better place . . .
