Hey America, I think you've lost something...

After spending a week traveling through America only a little above walking speed, we have found that the USA has lost, or is in the process of losing some things.
Someone has stolen their public pay phones. I suppose no one noticed as everyone has a cell phone but they have all been taken. We spotted two remaining at South Mills, NC, obviously overlooked by the thieves.

Sidewalks are disappearing here too. In many places they are absent, others they are hidden under encroaching grasses and over grown tree branches. The masses driving by in their automobiles seem to have missed this.

For some reason, the downtowns of every American town we have visited is also missing. Well, the buildings are still there but the businesses are gone. Boarded up and vacated. People seem to be missing from the old downtowns too.

I guess America has gained a lot though. Weight, chronic cell phone addictions, and big box stores.

I guess that's a fair trade.
