Sometimes when I'm walking around I notice the dirt and the grime, the cracks and stains, the rust and the just plain odd. And, I think it all has it's own unique charm. Here are some examples of Covington's charm, up close and personal. This is not meant to showcase anything bad, just a different way of thinking about it. This is a more abstract post, so think outside the box.
P.S. If you think you have a guess about what or where something is (or
have no idea and would like to know), leave a comment! (Hint: I was in
the Seminary Square/Westside neighborhoods for most, and a few are from
around my house.)
