Hastings, Minnesota

In a previous, I wrote about Hastings, Minnesota and the neighborhood that I drove through in looking at a house we wanted to see.  Most of those houses were cookie-cutter type houses.

I drove back again with a different “eye” to see what the town looked like.  The town itself sits on the banks of the Mississippi River and has approximately 23,000 residents.

There are a lot of homes that are different than what I saw before.  More colorful.

The downtown area reminds me of the town in the Andy Griffith Show.

And, of course, every older town has to have large church buildings.  This one is the Berean Bible Baptist Church.
