TGIF: West Union, Iowa


Been a very quiet dark and cold day along with another inch of snow.  No wandering about the countryside.

From a earlier quick journey to West Union, Iowa. The declining city is the county seat of Fayette County with a 2026 population of 2,435 and a poverty rate of 12.78%.

Red Heart Pizza, now closed, was a local popular Italian-American restaurant.

   West Union, Iowa.
 
What captured my attention was the 1874 date on the Bank Block.  Struck me as really early for this part of the country.
