Today's Journey

All over the world in stories, but just along the Ohio River in reality. A few pictures of the trip below:

Chester Bills' store in St. Mary's is a junker's delight. Mr. Bills can tell you where every single thing is inside and outside his store. I've spent a few dollars here, and more than a few minutes in good conversation.






Willow Island Memorial. 51 men lost their lives on April 27,1978 when a cooling tower under construction at Willow Island Power Plant collapsed.

Twenty years later, a boy doing a social studies project spearheaded a drive to establish a memorial to their memory.



The power plant with reconstructed cooling tower #2 (on left) stands sentinel over the memorial.








A pretty, deep hollow along Highway 2, near the Pioneer Community Road. I love road names--today I passed Adonis Next Road too. Where on earth did that name come from?
