Hanging Out in Niles

 


I went over to Niles which is a part of Fremont. Before the 1950's, the city of Fremont was actually five different small towns and Niles was one of them. The Niles section is known for being quaint and its antique shops and its general small town feeling unlike the rest of Fremont:








It still keeps its railroad heritage:




It has a lot of cool shops to go into:






And Charlie Chaplin hated the place because it was so rural but shot one of his most famous movies there-The Tramp but Niles still remembers him:


I love walking around Niles and need to do it more since it is about 15 minutes from my house.

    Niles is such a cute odd little place. For about a year I lived in Fremont (long story), but Niles seems like a different town altogether.

    Those are such fun places to visit. Love the yesteryear places. I miss how our town use to be and especially the passenger trains that would take to places. No longer a stop here.

    That is so cool and that gas station looks like something straight out of Cars, the animated movie. I'm also a fan of Charlie Chaplin. It's funny how he wasn't a fan of Niles! Thanks for linking and commenting so faithfully on my blog, Amanda's Books and More.
