This is Stroud, Oklahoma. The downtown area is very typical of small Oklahoma towns. The prosperity of the 1920s looks frozen in time. These towns derived income from traffic of Route 66 passing through. Now they are just exits off of the interstate.

Love the big white puffy clouds.
Interesting street scene. It great to see how different places are.
Sydney - City and Suburbs
Stroud has had some hits in the last 15 years but it keeps hanging in there. Okies are tough. Great clouds.
It also looks like some of the little towns along US 90 in northern Florida. Once I-10 opened in the late 60's and early 70's, time seemed to stop for them too.
Interesting shot. I could almost see a whole movie unfold there.
I very much like the wide streets in western towns. They make the town seem so inviting.
Exits worth taking though!Really nice photo , thanks for sharing.
I like U.S small towns, they look exotic to me!
