All across America there are thousands of small towns that look empty to our eyes. We are used to our generic "big box" stores where we can find anything our heart desires. We do not have to make several stops; to the grocery, hardware store, or clothing store. Instead we can do one stop shopping now. The "big box" stores have moved in and the result is that the small "mom and pop" businesses are out. We are losing flavor. We are losing variety. We are losing our Small Town, USA. So I found myself taking in the remnants of what was left in this particular Small Town and found so much to appreciate. Support the small businesses of your community. They are us and they are in danger of becoming extinct.
A couple of brightly colored signs advertising children's art classes and supplies pops out encouraging the arts.
STP Wagon
A child's bright yellow antique wagon stands out in contrast to the drab surroundings along the small town sidewalk.
Coca Cola Sign
Delicious and refreshing antique Coca Cola sign has developed a patina of age, but is still relevant in our time.
