Gotta love them palm trees!

It's still fun to see model trains running on tracks inside.
Had some friends who were into model trains. They cut holes in various walls, ran train tracks ... one never knew if a passenger train would roll through or a cargo-hauling train. The landscaping details, etc., was really something to see!

That looks like a lot of the Mexican restaurants in the Midwest.

There are a quite a lot of hacienda-style homes in the Midwest as well. Over the years, however, many of those homes have replaced the flat roofs with framed roofs (flat roofs just don't last long with the various changes of weather - or heavy wet snow piling up!). The stucco exteriors have also been replaced. The owners do try to keep the hacienda look, tho.

Isn't it something the way communities have grown into cities, with the need for more and more schools to educate the young!

I think about those single room schools, where students from all the grades were taught. Amazing the transition. And it hasn't been all that many decades ago for some areas.

We have a relic.I have posted that old Indio School house.it was used up to 1930.it still has chalk boards .

There are a few of those old 1-room school houses still in existence around the Midwest. Typically, the buildings have been moved to parks or next to museums.
