Chamber of Commerce

Located across the street from the now closed milk processing plant. The sign above the Chamber's door reads - 'Community Services Agency'. Above that is the building alarm. (I'm not sure what that's about)

Tomorrow, we turn around to view, The Dairy.

Curious sign, seems almost hand made. A very small and old building. Is it anything still working in here?
Thanks Stephen

@Rui: The Chamber of Commerce sign is not just hand made - it's crafted with good old 'magic-marker'. This little shoe-box of a store is a perfect metaphor to the whole town. Working businesses include 'The Gilded Rose' bar, a small market, and the cheese shop...

LOL I love it, has to be the sweetest chamber of Commerce I've ever seen :)

@Lorraine: I like this place a lot. The whole little town has a sweetness about it. The folks are friendly. It is very peacful - surrounded by lush green pastures, dotted with dairy cows.

What a nice little building, is it a store or an official building. I think the top looks like something from the wild west. I'd much sooner live here than some big metropolis. Where I live is only a small village too.

@Observing: Well - since the sign reads 'Social Services Agency' - it would be an official building now. What it was initially I can't say.
