Driftless Books & Music

I’ve been walking around Viroqua this morning and into the early afternoon, trying to 15K steps in today. for the @actifit/@blocktrades SteemFest contest. Probably won’t make it. 8K so far but I need to get back to the bed and breakfast to shower and change for the wedding we’re attending later today. First time I will have worn a suit since my own wedding. ;-)
Odd factoid noticed while walking around town: Metal roofs are really starting to catch on. We had new shingles put on last year but in retrospect maybe metal is better in the long run.
I found a great bookstore a few blocks east of the main drag in an old warehouse from the era when southwestern Wisconsin was a significant tobacco-growing region.



I love rambling jumbled bookstores like this. They’ve got a bit of everything. And you feel right at home.

The brass instruments I banged my head on:

Tall people beware.
Never know what you’ll find posted on the walls:




Beer can collections and even some 8-track tapes:



And on my way back, a lone boot on the sidewalk. Who loses track of one boot?


What a cute town! Yeah I’m going for the 15k today and tomorrow as well for the @actifit / @blocktrades / @anomadsoul / #steemfest challenge.
If you don’t get 15k today, at least you have quite a few weeks of opportunity! Have a wonderful time at the wedding.
