That is what looked like from the street anyway.<br /><br />I couldn't help but think it was an ominous sign. Sigh.<br /><br />I attended school from 1st grade through high school. The town seemed reasonably stable until it was bypassed by that highway (and even then the instability didn't hit until after I left apparently). I don't recall ever seeing any businesses being boarded up in my youth.Stagflationary Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04568993350246477976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515247115132134144.post-39420172227212438192014-12-16T06:04:40.948-08:002014-12-16T06:04:40.948-08:00Those small towns are fascinating.

It's strange to see shuttered up theaters, restaurants and museums and to think that those places once had more than just retirees and the occasional wheat farmer.Karlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15647211317186049289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515247115132134144.post-1071568152272001762014-12-16T02:28:06.162-08:002014-12-16T02:28:06.162-08:00Who Struck John,
