Shrinking Towns

Davidson, Oklahoma
Too many buildings on the plains these days have reached this sad sort of end. Owners have become unable to or uninterested in upkeep and have let homes and business buildings go to ruin. As farming has changed and manufacturing jobs have been shipped overseas, rural towns have shrunk, leaving them unable to support the types of economies they once did. My hometown, to my understanding, has shrunk about 25% over the past 20 years. Still I'm convinced better people can't be found anywhere.
