No matter the prosperity of the town, or county, the local seat of government is big, white, and has all kinds of columns.
Coming from ‘away’ I always find these buildings to fit my preconceived idea of what a small southern town should have.
I question now if I were to go back up to New England, and photograph their town and county buildings, how would I see them.
Not giving up…
These are part of a series that began almost 10 years ago.
Main Street photographs here looks the same in New England, the Southwest, and here in the south.
Each year brings small changes.
Nothing permanent though.
An observation…
Old soda fountains do exist…
well, they did until recently.
A big sale…
A short series of images from a walk… make of it what you will.
Lone Star is an unincorporated community in Calhoun County, South Carolina.
Not much left of the town. There is a few homes, empty buildings, and an abandon Railroad station.
It sits on four corners of a road, everything passing right by.
A few buildings were salvaged and moved elsewhere.
Everything else sits there waiting for people like me to stop by.
The building above was the Atlantic Coast Rail building. The abandon gas station, barn, and a repair shop still stand.
