desolation boulevard...

Field on the outskirts of ghostly Dickens, NE. circa 2010. Dickens was never a big town,but was big enough to have a post office, school, and a small main street at one time long ago. The town became famous for being accidentally "bombed" on a practice run by the local air force base back during WW II.Apparently the lights of the town looked close to the actual bomb site. The "bombs" were full of sand and did little damage thankfully. But what a story!
