16 - empty
February 16 - empty - I visited the town I grew up in this past weekend. Founded in 1938 by the family-owned Gilchrist Timber Company, Gilchrist was a small company owned town located in Oregon. The saw mill has long since been sold off along with all the company owned houses. The population of the town continues to decline and most of the company owned buildings (which were all painted this same color known officially as Gilchrist brown) now stand empty and run down much like this old movie theater where we use to watch the latest movies when I was a kid. It's sad to see an era come to an end.
