It’s always something…
WEEK 43 – Covington Kroger Closing, Set 4
Greenhouse stores have traditionally been, for me anyway, rather difficult to photograph – for a variety of reasons, to be sure, but still, the consistent result is that I’m never able to really get that many great pics or angles on the buildings. Here at the Covington store, which was situated on a lot all by itself without any neighbors; had trees that were not monstrosities eating up my sightlines; and sat underneath, on this day, a cloudy sky, meaning I had no sun glare to contend with… you’d think my luck would have been pretty good to finally have a chance of getting some really great, varied greenhouse façade photos. But alas, as you can see in this pic – which I resorted to having to take from the rear window of my dad’s truck – there was a man, perhaps a Kroger employee on break, who remained steadfastly stationed in that spot, seated beneath the Kroger signage, and sure to watch every move I made were I to walk around the property, particularly this left side where the logo and other signage resides, taking photos. Sigh.
At least this shot didn’t turn out poorly, but I wish I could have taken so many more…
If nothing else, we can see in this pic that the brick façade was literally just that – a façade – as it did not actually wrap around the sides of the store; those appear to be constructed in the same concrete block we've seen on many a greenhouse Kroger in other locales.

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
