Route 66 still runs the width of Davenport, brick storefronts on one side and Lincoln County post oak closing in past the last block. October here is copper and low sun, the Deep Fork bottoms east of town letting their leaves go in a rush. Bentons New Image Lawn Care runs mowing, edging, trimming and leaf cleanup along the old highway and out the county roads. On a street this narrow the finish is public — every straight edge is readable from the sidewalk. That alone is a fine reason to make them straight.
