Pushing Potwin

The town appears to be doing what it can do to survive but it doesn't look as if it will. There are many Kansas towns in this situation.

Great find Neil! If you see the sign, you already know it V

Hope the buildings are in better shape than the sign, but I guess we are about to see in this series...

Nice photograph but a very sad situation .
Hope it makes a turn around .
Maybe a large company will move in.

This is a fascinating opening into what I feel will be a wonderful exploration into the town of Potwin.
I cannot wait for more

A powerful image. Usually in thriving places there is more development around signs like this. Their isolation speaks volumes.

Carol says it perfectly. It is sad to see these small communities withering away.

The same happens here in some areas of Castille in Central Spain.V.

The straggly bushes seem to suggest neglect, a sign of a town's imminent demise. It is sad!

High impact and great tones ~ emotive of a very grave situation playing itself out in many places! V
