The title of this photo has a double meaning. First of all, this is a deserted, abandoned, crumbly strip of three buildings. It looks like it could fall apart at any moment. Secondly, it's in the old business district of Adams, TN - the town made famous as the home of the Bell Witch. It makes you wonder what the builders of such a place would have to think if they saw it today. If one more person threw a rock on the awning of the Robertson & Co. building, do you think it would fall in. On the side of the building is the county's most famous graffiti. "In Autumn Geronimo Weeps - No Pony With a Blanket" - Kerouac. That's too Beatnik for me. I have no idea what it means.
