Shepherd is only one of several bit players in the cinema verite unfolding at this particular American crossroads. The set: a cement driveway, four pumps (ethyl, regular and lead-free), two tiled bathrooms, two mechanics' bays and a battery of U-Haul trailers for rent.

...could go on a regular Crimson Key Tour. These are very nice, very traditional (your uncle who went here probably led them when he was an undergrad), but after all, sort of bland.
