And how did people get to this village in order to stay in this mysterious hotel? I saw no railroad tracks, and there’s only one road running through town.
I can hardly look at old towns like that without being overcome with a sadness that’s difficult to explain. What are the stories of those forlorn storefronts? Why did people come to that little town and stay in their little hotel? What about the rusty skeleton of a combine on the edge of town, its bones bleaching in the sun?
Perhaps that’s why my artist friends find old buildings and farmsteads so intriguing. There’s definitely a sense of mystery about them—stories that will never be known. On that much, we can agree. But no one can convince me those lonely scenes are picturesque.
could have been said to be in the middle of nowhere, this little town was it!
The garage implied the town was still alive when cars came into general use,

I don’t know, and I never will—and ghosts don’t talk. Just don’t try to tell me that such a scene is something I’d want to hang on my wall and look at every day.
