Yes. Littlefield IS a dying town. It’s a shame, too, because I know for sure it used to have a vibrant (and award-winning!) downtown. My grandpa lived north of town and a big deal for us was to go see him and sometimes meet up with my Aunt Elizabeth and my cousins – who drove in from Earth, as one does – to go shopping in downtown.

But don’t planning your own shopping trip: practically all the buildings along Phelps Avenue are occupied by only debris and pigeons.
