First off.... yes, you are breaking a rule by posting 8.

Second... Rules are made to be broken.

Third... I didn't ever think of Cypress having an Old Town.

Fourth... I like these a lot.

Very nice

Cool. I'm not into taking this type of photo nowadays, and don't really have an appreciation, but like you said altogether these make for a compelling portrait of a down and out place. Well done.

These are a great series.

The interesting thing Jim is that Cypress is a very well to do town, a rather sought after location on the edge of Orange County here. The houses there are $100,000 to $200,000 more on average then just a mile down the road in neighboring cities. Dave did a great job in finding a small pocket of the old Cypress in these photos.

Thanks everyone !
This is a weird find, its literally the last pocket of the older era of clean, safe sleepy cities in OC,
(Garden Grove, midway city, westminster, laPalma, buena park, etc... they used to be quiet and safe and clean, now they are almost all noisy and dirty, cypress is still one of the nicest ones.
