Scenic Kentucky: Halloween-ready

Robert found this old house while out scouting for photos recently. He writes, "The sign on the door says 'Dead Inside'."

We can't tell how current the decoration is, but, like the old saying about a stopped clock, it's guaranteed to be seasonally-appropriate at least once a year.

Travel: Main Street Square Reflecting Pool

2026-10-14 - Houston, TX - Photo by Trey Stephens
Trey writes, "The view looking down Main Street in downtown Houston shows how different a street can feel when cars are removed. While most surrounding streets are busy one-way roads, Main Street features only light rail tracks and sidewalks, creating a calmer and more welcoming environment.

The street is also lined with restaurants, bars, businesses, and other economy-drivers, helping turn it into an entertainment district in the heart of Houston."

The METRORail and fountain water jets are the focal points of the Square, with trains running through a 250-foot-long, eight-inch-deep reflecting pool. (downtownhouston.org).
