The State of Ohio painted a bunch of barns in honor of the state's bicentennial in 2003. The state, courtesy of the Longaberger Basket Co., also put up a whole lot of historical markers. The markers came in handy as I'd take a picture of them to better remember what I was looking at.
On the other hand, the bicentennial license plates, which had a design sort of like what's on the barn, lost a vital piece of information -the county where the plate was issued. When I spot a car with Ohio plates I want to know where in Ohio it is from. I mean, there's a big difference in seeing a car from Paulding vs. Cuyahoga County. At least, last I knew, Nebraska has kept the county number prefix on their plates (but to know the county you have to know that the prefix corresponds to the county rank based on number of vehicles registered in that county in 1922).
You may recall that I visited the Big Well in Greensburg, Kansas a couple of years ago, and that Greensburg was all but destroyed by a tornado last year. Flyover People proprietress Cheryl recently visited Greensburg and has current photos of the Big Well and other sites around town. This lonely building can be seen on the right in the first photo in this post.
I love this photo. Are you going to upload it to Flickr so I can mark it a favorite?

On Rt. 22 about half-way between Circleville and Williamsport.
