This past Saturday, I drove down to Waxahachie, TX (about 25-30 miles southeast of where I live) with my friend April for a Meetup.com event - dinner at The Catfish Plantation restaurant (see tomorrow's post for details on the actual event). We got there about an hour early, so we decided to explore historic downtown Waxahachie (pronounced Wocks-a-hatch-ee). April is also a tourist-type like me and likes to take pictures of random weird things - we had a blast!
Here are some of the oddities we found in that hour:
This is April and I at the best sign in all of Waxahachie - Pimpin' Cowgirls! And that's what we were!
These were signs outside a cafe - I thought they were funny!
Here is an old barber shop - been in business since 1920 and even had the barber poll!
Here is the Ellis County courthouse - VERY big and beautiful! 
And me in front of the entrance to the courthouse:
April and I playing around at the courthouse......
April almost stepped on a tiny, itty-bitty baby bird - here he is! We're not sure if he was injured, but he was sitting on the street right in front of a parked car's tire.....imminent doom.....but we didn't want to touch him either....He was such a sweet tiny birdie!
How's this for a cool , funky gate???
And some of their stores are very uniquely named - I liked this one!

You are such a good photog!
Great Pictures! The baby bird appears to be, a baby Killdeer.
The mother might have been close they nest on the ground and when a predator is close, the mother will pretend her wing is broken to lure you towards her and away from her babies.
