The title of the post tells it all...or most of it. I found this advertisement painted on the screen door of an old general store in Dewitt, Missouri, just north of the Missouri River. At the time I was there, none of the storefronts downtown were in business anymore, and the place had the lonely, alluring feel of an abandoned ghost town somewhere in the American West. While photographing, a woman drove up and told me some of the history of the town, including a massacre of Mormons that took place on a hill just outside of town. I didn't go look at the place that she mentioned, but I did stay long enough to photograph an old gas station and a billboard. Then I continued along 24 highway.
