Notice the flood victims in their nineteenth-century style dresses.
When I visited the area in 2008, I went into a food store and all the women were dressed in postbellum outfits--long dresses with long sleeves, mostly in solid colors, but one girl wore a gingham dress with a checkerboard pattern. Interestingly, they were all 20-somethings. The few men that I saw were much older and all were wearing Western-style shirts. I felt like I had gone through a time warp back to the days of President Garfield, Arthur or Cleveland.
Interestingly, for a town that small and remote, many of the houses in the residential neighborhoods seemed unusually large. I wonder why?
