Ready for Christmas on Halloween in Cynthiana, Kentucky

While on a road trip to Louisville, I took a short detour through Cynthiana, Kentucky. It was afternoon of Halloween. Most of the houses were decorated for Halloween, but not this one. They skipped directly to Christmas decorations. I was amused that the owners of this 1950s bungalow had already adorned their home with wreaths, manger, and a gingerbread house.

Randolph School-Pass Christian, Mississippi

Harrison County

Built in 1927 for $24,000, this six-teacher type Rosenwald School is in Pass Christian, Mississippi. Hurricane Katrina badly damaged the school, and it was scheduled for demolition which community organizers rallied to get the building saved and restored. It now serves as a senior center. The day I took this photo the parking lot was full, so I was pleased that it’s a building being used.

It is listed as a Mississippi Landmark.
