Come Back Again

This storefront in Odin, Illinois, has the look of having been abandoned given that all the blinds are drawn and in disarray. Odin is the junction of the former Illinois Central mainline between Chicago and New Orleans with the St. Louis-Cincinnati line of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. In fact, the junction is just across the street from this storefront. At one time, when railroad travel was king, this was probably a prime piece of real estate to have. But no trains stop in Odin now and far fewer people travel by train. Whatever business used to be had here is gone.
