The whole story is amazing. It sounds similar to the town I'm from in VA. Everyone who went to high school there remains close even though we are scattered about the country. It's a shame life has changed so drastically and our kids will probably never experience the simple small-town life of days gone by...<br />I'm glad your dad was able to be a part of the celebration.<br />BUt I'm really bummed that they sandblasted the brick wall!!!<br />Love your artwork since I visited last. The Giver is gorgeous and love ch ch ch change.<br />Great stuff!

Now I know when you've gotten your generosity of spirit, My Friend!<br /><br />As far as the sandblasting - there are no words to describe how I felt when I saw those pictures. You were in the right place at the right time on your last visit, Marsha, and managed to capture not only a piece of Americana, but a piece of history. <br /><br />Enjoy the remainder of your stay, and have a safe trip home!

How great that your Dad has helped to build this wonderful tradition. He should be very proud of all his hard work. This is a place where people are an actual community, in the real sense of the word. It makes me smile to know it is there. I had that in my old Topanga life, but it's very hard to find where I live now. Thank you so much for sharing this! As for the coke mural - it breaks my heart - but I think some little fairy must have tapped you on the shoulder the day you took your picture. Thank goodness you did!

What wonderful memories for you, and how proud you must be.<br />As for the sand blasting of the mural, I can't believe what short-sightedness brought that to pass. My home town (Pontiac, Illinois) just added 17 wonderful nostalgic murals to beautify its downtown area just off old Route 66. There is nothing like rural America!indybevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05505539407819784525noreply@blogger.com
