Side Streets
The side streets of Anchor Rock might be considered part of the town centre in any other place, but with a community this small, one doesn't have to walk far at all to find themselves in an area distinct from the centre proper. The buildings are not empty here, but it is clear that they were once more full than they are now. Still, the paths are worn with use and life— it'd be hard for them not to be, given that the majority of Anchor Rock's residents either live here or pass through regularly. Sure, the paint may be peeling, but all this really serves to do is to make the side streets feel even more quaint than the rest of the town.
The grass that grows only semi-mowed is dotted with wildflowers, and an old bicycle free of rust (its rider's pride and joy, almost certainly) leans against railing of stairs to the porch. To the eye of someone not accustomed to life in a place like this, these roads might seem no different to the central cluster of buildings at the heart of Anchor Rock, but those who have lived here longer know better. It's not that it's quieter here but that it's softer, slower. The door of the building stands unlocked, not quite closed as if in gentle invitation to all who pass by on the street. Come in, won't you? You'd be the most exciting person to cross the threshold all day— but then again, it's only noon. There's still time yet.
