It’s not spelled the way it’s pronounced. The locals call it “Darty.” (We asked.) There’s not much there anymore, but it used to have a school (through grade 6, then kids were bused over to Floydada), a dancehall, a grocery store.
But now it’s got this skeletal building, slumped against the other one.

The larger building appears to be much more formidable – I hope it lasts!

Very beautiful image.. I have to wonder how long ago classes were held at this location.
