Small Towns and Old Churches

Welcome to Downtown Troy Idaho....population aprox:728
How sad a once was community church lays abandoned and in disrepair.
I spotted these cut mailboxes on a side street...I think I need a cute mail box!
Troy is a small community that lays south of Moscow Idaho, probably one of the many logging communities that were on route/Hwy 8 in Idaho. But as the logging industry changed so did this and many other communities.
But they manage to survive, and have their own special quaintness....
I love quaint towns, with their juxtapose of old and new,...just trying to survive in a world that has sort of forgotten them, left them behind for the modern technologies of today.
I love getting "off the interstate" to explore....and when you do, you meet the most wonderful people who know how to slow down and chat....

  1. If I lived closer I would buy that old church and fix it up! Also if I had gobs of money...I've fixed up quite a few "money pits" in my day but nothing gets my attention like a sad old farmhouse or building that has SO MUCH POSSIBILITY!!!! It looks gorgeous there....

  4. Wow, Troy looks a lot bigger than it was the last time I went through! lol There is just something about small towns. I love them and all the history, seeping out of the old buildings.
