Sundown on a Rural Town
Literally and figuratively.....Butler Indiana...... Commerce in rural towns have been decimated by emigration by the young and the proximity to a Walmart. The 80% of the downtown buildings sit vacant, are condemned or been burned down. The beautiful golden light is made possible by the demolition of the buildings across the street to the West. There is one small grocery store that sells food at twice the price of Walmart. It has a Dollar General Store and The International Monster Truck Hall of Fame...oh and a cop to resident ratio that is off the charts. The police cars are emblazoned with the
american flag and remaining buildings have flag murals. Needless to say Trump is worshiped as a god. There are no union factories in the County. Although a very rural area it ranks as one of the most polluting counties in the most polluting state. The takeover of the Democratic Party by the Neo-liberals since 1992 is as much to blame for this state of affairs as the Republicans...............................................
... In this area and much of the state if you disagree about politics you not only hate your country but are trying to destroy it out of evil and malice. See Butler album for more images of this odd place or unfortunately not uncommon
....As I shot this the Dylan song "Sundown on the Union" became an ear worm that lasted for days. Yes, that is a Christmas Tree in August in the window. I have been arrested for taking pics in public places several times and talked to by the cops. People shoot in my direction, call me a pedophile and post it on facebook or follow me around in a threatening manner with firearms.. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukLtIRw71tE
