Views of the Neighborhood – Nashville Indiana

I am in Nashville Indiana to attend the High School graduation of my granddaughter. This week’s Views of the Neighborhood will give you a small taste of the town.

On the outskirts is the Bean Blossom overlook

Spectacular view.

Another View.

The reason for the trip. My Summa Cum Laude grandaughter. Pay no attention to that old guy beside her.

The state bank building which is now a shop.

A view of the main street.

The county courthouse.

A memorial to those who gave their lives in service to America.

Another view of the main street.

 Peaceful.

Beautiful old building.

    What a beautiful place, and just as beautiful as the weather, John. I love the state bank building. Do you know how old the building is? For some reason, it reminded me of Bonnie & Clyde, but that’s my overactive mind at work. 🙄

      The bank was built in the 1880’s Hugh. Does look like Bonnie and Clyde.
