Dry pasta in front of the Library
First we find Fritos dumped on the Post Office floor, and now dry pasta in front of the Library?! Apparently peanut butter was also smeared on the door.

Esso relic?
This base for a lighted sign on the NW corner of Simpson and Summit possibly dates back nearly 60 years ago when the current vacant building on that corner was originally opened as an Esso gas station.

The Little House in McCleary
Construction house on Rabbit Hill, Cedar St. This little place probably has the best panoramic view of the whole town.
McCleary has been going through a major building boom. One house appears to be nearly completed on Rabbit Hill and several more are planned.
It's Miller Time!
Someone left a full bottle of Miller Beer as a memorial token on the headstone for Russ McMillan (1920-1998). The number of people around McCleary who remember the colorful Mr. McMillan has been rapidly declining.

Waterhole 1
The main tavern on Simpson Ave. has had several names over the years. One of the former names, "Waterhole 1" (or Waterhole # 1) was used in the 1980s, I think. The name is still above the padlocked door. McCleary has been without a tavern for what, three or four years now at least.
The Waterhole issued wooden tokens. I still have one.
