A New Project

I live by a small town, Nowata, in Oklahoma. I have had this idea for awhile now, so I decided to act on it by February 2007. The idea (business) is a blog about Nowata, with details and stories about the places and people there.  The name is: Nowata, Oklahoma, Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. Every place has a rich history and interesting people, sometimes it just requires a little digging.  Yesterday it was very nice weather so Alex and I spent time taking some pictures. The pictures below are of a mural on a side of a building in Nowata. I think a group of high school art students did this mural. I will check on the history and publish that in the Nowata blog.

Many of the streets in Nowata are still the brick lined, thus many intersting patterns. There have been several brick plants around Nowata in the first part of the 1900’s. Can’t wait to start to research all the history and publishing the facts.

As with many a small town across America, Nowata has lost business and had hard economic times the past 15 or so years. I hope that with this blog, somehow, someway, it helps build Nowata and the pride the citizens have for their town.
