do not block alley

 

The sign on the corner admonishes motorists "do not block alley."  That's because what appears to be a ghost sign actually advertises a working dry cleaners.  There is easy access in the alley to the door as well as a 24 hour drop box. I found historic downtown Coleman quite interesting and well-worth the detour from the highway.

Except today in Coleman, Texas!  There was a Piggly Wiggly in this building at 114 Pecan Street in 1929.  The popular grocery chain started in 1916 and has 600 stores in 17 states, just not Texas! The second story of the building was the Central Hotel.  The fancy ironwork on the fire escape and sidewalk railing are neat.
