Vigilante??? Hardened criminal???

Haha just kidding! I found this is my brother's car. Who knows what he was doing with it....

Yikes!

Weatherford has virtually no transportation, and gas prices make owning your own vehicle pricey.

Farmer's Market

Healthy, homegrown food that supports local farmers and provides jobs for teenagers. A win-win for everyone.

Uh-oh!

These are the monstrous stairs leading up to the entrance of a popular Sunday-lunch restaurant. Many patrons are older and have to enter through an entrance in the back.

Holistic Living

Many people seek spiritual fulfillment, whether through religion or other forms of spirituality. Church functions as an outlet for worship, communion, and benevolence.

Construction Zone

If you have ever tried to stop on South Main in Weatherford, you know how bad the traffic is and the never-ending contruction that adds to the chaos.

Recession

Due to the recession, many business have been forced to close their doors.

Groceries?

This may not need explaining...people need food....people use grocery stores such as HEB to obtain food.

Trash pick up vs. No trash pick up

This is a picture of a trash pile in Kenya, Africa. Homeless children sleep on the piles at night because they give off heat.

I borrowed (with permission) this picture from Gayla Herrington. It was taken last summer.

Recycling

There are several community recycling centers across Abilene. While mandatory pick up would be more convenient, recycling is helpful for everyone- especially future generations.

Water Drainage

After a day of raining, Abilene streets are flooded with water. For this town, the drainage system is something that seriously needs updating.

Le Metro

Paris has a strong public transportation system. Every few blocks there is "Le Metro", an underground and above ground train station that can take riders all over the city. Trains run every few minutes and tickets can be purchased easily. This works especially well for crowded cities, where there is not much room for parking and many people who live in the city cannot afford cars.
