Reclamation

You don't have to travel far from the riches of Bentonville and the Walmart HQ to find small towns struggling to survive. The town of Sulphur Springs is less than an hour away from Bentonville. It has several historic attractions that led me to want to test out my Kodak Vigilant there, after I had done some home-brew CLA work on it.

 

I was surprised to see a lot of folks out and about when we arrived at the park. There was live music playing, and people enjoying time outdoors with their families. However, it was a little sad to see all of these old buildings downtown. They were either abandoned, lived in, ran down, or some combination of these. I think there was only one Cafe (from my previous photo) and a laundromat left surviving.

 

I don't know what this building was or currently is, other than being reclaimed by nature.
