Tampa

The sign on the main road advertises this as "The Other Tampa" and touts the fact that it's on the Santa Fe Trail.

It's a charming little community where lots of people have taken pains to make the town appealing and well-maintained.

There are many well-preserved homes, with a few going to disrepair, as is common in rural communities here. 

The park is located near a sign commemorating Tampa Rural High School, which was demolished in 2003. The kids were delighted that the basketball hoops were adjustable. 

Downtown, there's the Santa Fe Trail Café, a library, a strip mall with some cute shops, a senior center, a vintage gas station, and Tampa State Bank.

There's also a grain elevator, as well as a cemetery about a mile out of town.
