Valley View Motel is located along Lake Ave. in Celina. While it's not a major road out of town anymore, I believe the road is an old alignment of highway TN53. Despite not being on a major highway, it's still in business, so I guess they're doing something right. Normally, I only upload the older signs with the neon tubes still intact, but I thought this place looked nice.
Title: In September 1975, Miss M. E. Bone, principal of Alma College, welcomed Mrs. Ellen Wilkins, 83, left, and Mrs. Agnes Russell, 80, both of St. Thomas, as the first residents to move into the satellite residence of Valleyview Home. Up to 42 people could be accommodated in what was the newest residence on the campus. Peter Laing, left, Ivan Patterson, administrator, and Bob Holt, assistant administrator were also on hand for the occasion.

I got caught snoozing on this one. I was going to get dog food...always seems to be that way...I crossed the tracks and noticed the green light. The arms and bells went off and here she comes. Dashing to the side of the road, jumped out and fired off a few shots when I saw the Ferromex. Too darn close...chase it! According to my dash I only had enough gas for an 18 mile chase, stopping for gas would have ruined it. Luckily it stopped 4 miles down the line and I was able to get it all from the road. Below is the Ferromex.

Can you see it? That little building near the base of the hill is where the Valley View Hot Springs are located. (We forgot to take a picture while we were actually there, hence the far away shot.) Our photographer recommended this place, which was halfway between Buena Vista and Durango. When we arrived, we were told that clothing was optional. So yeah, we basically visited a nudist camp. :) It was pretty sweet though, the hot spring pools all had fabulous views of the mountains.

I found that this locomotives cab was smashed and rebuilt. That would explain the discoloration on the nose.

Faces of Valley View in 2019. This photo taken in May 2019 after heavy snow melt. Shot when shooting the Dogwood Tree blooms.
I heard Camp Chase go by my house so I gave a leisurely chase. The orange paint is bright and difficult to shoot in any light.
Here they are passing their hopper storage siding nestled between N. Eureke Ave and Hague Ave. They will go in reverse all the way back to the elevator on Sullivant Avenue, which now is behind the new casino.

My first shoot in yosemite with JavFoto and Rich Capture. With cold feet, sensor dust and lacking of filters I made my shots. Learning lots and having fun. Made up for some beginner mistakes by trying out NIK color Efex pro plug in for Lightroom (15 day Demo)

This school house was built in 1906, the area was Garfield township, Newburg township and in 1919 became Valley View township. It was used as a shool until a new school was built on Schriber Rd. it then was used as the Village Hall and police station. In 1940 it was sold and used as a house. The current owners bought it in 1945 and still live there today. They raised the grade of the land about six feet and added the new foundation because of frequent flooding in the area.
One of the employees told me that it takes them two months to set up the Christmas displays here at Valleyview Farms. There must be literally thousands of lights in the ceiling. It take them two weeks to dismantle everything afterwards.

The True Spirit Of Christmas
Here at Valley View Farms, we know a thing or two about Christmas. We've been Christmas enthusiasts since, well, almost day one. Three years after we opened as a small roadside produce stand, we ventured into the Christmas biz selling ornaments on consignment. We had such a passion for the season that, here we are 48 years later, one of the largest, most awe-inspiring Christmas shops in the country.
To us, Christmas is much more than just a day in late December when presents mysteriously appear under a tree; it’s the magical journey we take to get there. Our ride into Christmas actually begins in August (if you can believe it) when we move our spring garden displays to make way for over 125 decorated Christmas trees. Working under a canopy of 50,000 twinkling lights, our talented elves shape, light, and decorate the trees in themes such as Ravens, Gingerbread, Elvis, and 70’s Retro. Our selection of over 6,000 holiday ornaments and gifts are guaranteed to appeal to young and old alike. We have everything you need to bring the spirit of the season into your home – artificial, fresh cut, and live Christmas trees; artificial and fresh cut wreaths and garland; lights; ornaments; and gifts.
As the weather gets colder and we sip hot chocolate waiting for the first snowfall to arrive, we get more and more excited about inspiring our customers. Early in November, from dusk until closing, Valley View Farms outdoor Christmas light display illuminates the night sky with over 100,000 lights. The entire valley is set aglow with a sea of twinkling star-like lights that dazzle the mind’s eye with inspiration. We can’t wait to show you what we've done.
If you love Christmas as much as we love Christmas, start your family holiday traditions here. If you’re not a fan of the holidays, aw c'mon, who doesn't love Christmas? Stop by to see us and we will put you in the holiday spirit. Welcome to our whimsical world – our winter wonderland.
