Now only 2% of the population does. Many, many "last towns", which is sad. The good news is that you can live in the nicest house in town - like my hosts last week!<br /><br />Li'l Ned, I have one word for your plastic cheesus night light: EBAY!!!Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15461386564339879940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014005277153555622.post-3259709898349572692010-08-28T12:13:59.016-05:002010-08-28T12:13:59.016-05:00I love the photo of the Last Town.

Last Towns seems to be an iconic image (and presence) in the American West (and I include Kansas, even though it is currently 'MidWest' because for a long while it was the western frontier). Are there Last Towns in Pennsylvania? Illinois? Massachusetts? I am thinking of all the 'eastern' states I have been to -- not that many! But especially in the arid West and apparently, Great Plains, there are a lot of Last Towns. I am so glad you found one to take shelter in, amid non-ax-murderers, no less. <br /><br />And thanks for the clip of the Handsome One singing that great song. Reminds me of the Plastic Cheesus night light I found at the Saturday Market in Eugene OR many years ago. I bought one for my sister and regrettably, passed up the opportunity to get one for myself.<br /><br />Your description of the smells and sights of that prairie night made we want to head .... well, east! to get a taste for myself. Someday .........Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239798951473493987noreply@blogger.com
