I’ve been back to Jeffersonville, Indiana, and got so many door shots, I have to break it up into two posts. I love it when that happens!
The reason I went was, again, a book-selling event. This one was the Kentuckiana Authors Book Blitz. Way fun!
Here’s the front. Innit pretty?
Inside the lobby it was like this:
There was a courtyard, and more doors!
We went out to lunch and saw this.
And this.
We didn’t eat there, either.
Across from the Yeti is this awesomesauce public park, with bike sculpture outside of it. Jeffersonville — this part, at least — is very bike-friendly.
Here came a couple of bikers, possibly having ridden across the Big 4 Pedestrian Bridge just through that arch, which says Big 4 Station.
We had our hearts set on eating at Schimpff’s. Alas for us! It was Sunday, and Schimpff’s was closed! I’ll post about Schimpff’s another time, and about where we did eat, but now for more doors.
Lots of painted cast iron trim along here.
And a clock. Because clock.
Random insurance offices.
And, driving home, I had time at a red light to snap this at a poor angle.
A very happy day, other than not getting a Schimpff’s fix.
This has been a part of Norm Frampton’s Thursday Door link-up, where the other participants are probably stunned that I’ve actually featured doors on this week’s post! Go to Norm’s, view his wonderful pictures, click on the li’l blue froggy, and see what doors are in store for you around the country and around the world.

September 22, 2016 at 7:07amLove these doors . . . .and that ghost one is intriguing. Like the fact though it has been blocked up in such an interesting way rather than breeze blocks

September 22, 2016 at 8:52amI loved that, too! It’s like, the bricklayer said, “We can’t get that exact match,” and the owner said, “Well, use something similar, and then call attention to it with fancy brickwork.”

September 22, 2016 at 8:08amNice trip!
Love the clock. Now when I see those I think of Lyons. Before that, I’d never noticed them.
The Red Yeti, eh?
I loved drive-by-bad-angle door and trimmed-in-red-door — both so striking 🙂

September 22, 2016 at 10:05amWe had our hearts set on Schimpff’s. By the time we found out they were closed, we were closer to O’Shea’s. 🙁 But O’Shea’s was good.
The Yeti wouldn’t take a selfie with me, since I wouldn’t eat there. Maybe another time. heh

September 22, 2016 at 8:42amNot many cities or towns still sport such clocks. Thanks for the photo visit.

September 22, 2016 at 10:10amIt seems to be kind of A Thing in small-town Indiana, Roy, for which I’m very glad. 🙂

September 22, 2016 at 9:28amOOh, lots of character in those Jeffersonville doors. Interesting the method used to brick up the ghost door…a great contrast to the wall. I rather like the red light door, what a portico!

September 22, 2016 at 10:07amThere was some beautiful painted cast iron trim along that street. The archigeek in me was in heaven!

September 22, 2016 at 10:05amOoh you did hit the motherlode on this trip didn’t you.
I like those green courtyard doors, and the Red Yeti, and of course ghost doors are always cool to see. Great post 🙂
Marian Allen
September 22, 2016 at 10:08amI sure did, Norm! I love how Thursday Doors has opened my eyes to interest and beauty I overlooked before.

September 23, 2016 at 10:49am….and a selfie! 🙂 I loved the Red Yeti! Was hoping you ate there, alas you didn’t. Loved the clock too, and that grey, red color scheme where I spied you in the glass.
LOVED that building with the 4 doors-insurance co?
Looking forward to part II!
Marian Allen
September 23, 2016 at 3:28pmOne of these fine days, I will eat at the Red Yeti!
Yes, the building with the 4 doors is an insurance company. I don’t remember the name, but I remember that. 🙂
