small town texas
I graduated from Corsicana High School in 1979 - 30 years ago - so I made the trek for the reunion this weekend...here are a few pix of the town...
I remember going into Dyer's and dreaming about actually being able to afford a new shirt or dress while the sales ladies would look down their noses at me. I always felt I wasn't worthy to even window shop there. But now to see it abandoned, with the awnings ripped and a busted out window...i dunno - it made me a little melancholy.
the town has definitely seen better days and i was very surprised of the number of my fellow students that never left or left and came back.
some of the streets are paved with bricks
the banner says -
Historic Downtown Corsicana

this was really sad for me to see -
Dyer's was "the place" for the rich folks to shop.
