An interesting moment in US history and an interesting part of the USA.

Arghhhh, this one's a lulu. Nearly drove me birdshit trying to find it.

12/14/????!

Answer by posting the more interesting of the two photos at this place on Google Earth.

But it was worth it, right? That has to be one of the greatest pieces of legislation in US history!

Who knew that a century would go by and the economy would turn south?
