Faded glory

Took a drive out to Tuskegee, Alabama, site of America's first black university started by Booker T Washington. Nice campus, but no town anymore. Just a lot of run down, burnt out buildings - most of which stand empty. Another case of the rich-right -next-to-the-poor weirdness of the States. And lo and behold, no Walmart.
