Over on Urban Decay, Andy Morang has just posted pictures and an article about Margaret's Grocery, which is something of a landmark in Vicksburg, Mississippi. Andy has a number of pictures taken in the 1980s and 1990's that show an ordinary country store transformed into a work of folk art. Read the story here.
I took the picture above while visiting Vicksburg in December 2007.
Interesting concept, similar to the Heidelberg Project in Detroit. Folk art lives on.
ReplyDeleteMargaret's Grocery is n longer in service. It lies now in ruins. It's a shame because her husband spent many a year building it for her. I pass by it many times a month and can only just feel sadness.
