The Square

Sitting on the very old court house square New bank facility on the corner Massive structure, commanding, once bare This square once small stores center People came to shop, talk, and visit Some would go to the corner drug store From the fountain get a shake and sit Now that drugstore is torn down, no more The grand hotel on another corner Beautiful brick simple design square Non-operational now vacant In limbo waiting for revival

Sadly, those days are gone. Materialistically times were harsh and much worse then, but socially, emotionally, times were so much better. God bless. Vince
