We buy

What remains behind when a business closes down interests me.  Almost never do I encounter an empty, but clean, building.  Variations on this scene are common.

So, this place. I guess they bought grain and feed.  Purina was involved. What happened next?  I don’t know.  But whatever it was, it’s been a while since it happened.

This

Another shot from Sudan, just a couple of blocks from the yard sale sign. Kind of a mystery, I think, about what “This” refers to, but I like it.

This entire block of buildings had once been busy; I saw evidence of a beauty shop, a video store, the Eastern Star place, some offices, and so on. But now: nothing was still in business and the roofs were caved in.

Good for photography; bad for the town.

It’s that kind of town

Yes, it is that kind of town.

The kind of town where you can put your church’s yard sale sign on a box in the middle of the main drag on a Saturday. And where people see “FBC” on the sign and automatically know that’s the Baptist church.
