Lebanon, Kansas rests two and a half miles south of 'a tiny rundown park, an empty church, a pile of stones, and a derelict motel.' This is the center of the lowers 48 states. This is almost all of Kansas. It is much of America.
We have moved on from churches and stones, from motels - just as we've moved on from grain trucks, service stations, and small towns.
In my photos, I am not holding up this era as when we were great. This is not nostalgia. I don't long for these times to come again. My photos are not snow globes.
If you feel a wistfulness looking at them, that's on you (though I honestly don't see how you might). These were rough times. And looking that places like Lebanon now, it didn't work. We destroyed cultures and societies many thousands of years old so that we could plant wheat and raise cattle for a hundred years or so.
It's obnoxious and absurd. In every photo of an abandoned house, a broken car, a vacant storefront (that will never be anything again), this absurdity should shine through. It is the true meaning of these dying towns. We ultimately did this for nothing.
Our empty churches, our piles of rocks, our derelict motels are monuments to our inhumanity and carelessness.

Lebanon has suffered from a civil war and a subsequent war with Israel. The latter ended with a cease fire, much like the Korean War, and technically the two countries are still at war. There are occasional skirmishes. The downtown area of Beirut, once a scene of heavy fighting, is adorned with police fortified posts. From these protected positions, the police could maintain control from a protected position and return fire when needed. These structures exist to this day and are maintained in the event they are again needed. The first picture, top left, shows a buidling riddled by gunfire. The 2nd photo shows a heavily armed Lebanese police officer. They are, in a word, everwhere. The security presence is both stifling and yet reassuring. The next 3 shots depict the various styles of fortified positions. The lower left show an armored vehicle. These are deployed all over Beirut and in the outlying areas as well. They are visible in sensitive spots. They are also amassed in numbers just off the main streets for rapid deployment. The bottom right shows a police checkpoint, complete with several reinforced positions and the customary concertina wire. This checkpoint is near the town of Baalbeck, which is the home of UNESCO ruins, as well as a Palestinian refugee camp, the latter being a Hezbollah stronghold. It is an area with tremendous potential, great people, and yet lingering regional tensions that can't seem to be resolved.
