this place has been falling down since i was born

Today I took pictures of some of my favorite buildings, currently in a state of ruin, located in my childhood town. Every few years when I make it back to this part of the country, I always like to see how much more they've collapsed since last time. Here is the former Prairie, Mississippi (yes, it is really called Prairie) postal office, code 39756, in operation until about 1980.
