The American Legion bar/post in Girardville, in eastern Pennsylvania’s hard coal country. ▪️ If you’ve ever found yourself in some small rural town you’ve never been in before, kind of late in the evening and a cold beer sounds like a good idea til you realize there are no bars in town, well then the warm glow coming from behind the American Legion post sign on the edge of town would’ve been a really welcome sight. It happened to me in rural West Virginia, not Pennsylvania, but I imagine it’s a universal game that plays out: You shuffle about outside the front door (since it’s for members only), hoping that some kind vet will take pity on you and that you look trustworthy enough that they’ll sign you in on the guest book, and once you’re in, you buy your host a beer — $2 only most likely it’ll cost you here — as thanks. #ipulledoverforthis #myamericanvision #ghostsign #anthracitecountry
“Look at the damage / The fortunes came for the richer men / While we're left with gallows / Waiting for us liars to come down and hang.”* ▪️ Old storefront, Minersville, PA. ▪️ I have conflicted feelings about taking photos of the ruins of someone else’s hometown. No one needs another reminder that their town has seen better days. But I suspect that 50 years from now, someone just might want to see what downtown Minersville looked like in late 2020. And I’m just as sure that no one’s going to be searching for images of the super gas station convenience store out on the interstate exit that I didn’t bother to take any photos of on the day I was here. *”American Slang,” the Gaslight Anthem #ipulledoverforthis #myamericanvision #anthracitecountry
