Spencer, IA: Just off Spencer's main street. Still more shops and plenty of greenery!

Spencer: Along Spencer's pristine museum-street, a bakery vents the beckoning/irresistible aroma of rich pastry, forcing nearby residents to zombie to its service several times each week. (Note, to the viewers' left, the street's stylish pole-lights - reproductions of the models employed during America's art deco period; a grand choice, provided by this city's foresighted managers)

Spencer: The chiseled-in-stone declaration states "Hotel Tangney" while the contemporary awning sports merely: "The Hotel." Regardless of its legal moniker, this multi-story abode locates itself on Spencer's main street, with the entrance shown, serving as its side door. This prestigious establishment also features a gormet restaurant, serving three-course dinners until ten.
