This should be one of those whimsical Fedi fascinations:

This one is in Grant City in NW Missouri. I’d guess the hydrant is at least 80 years old.

As a renovator/restorer for many years I find that quite sad.

Exactly. Fortunately, the house is already a total loss 🙂

My first thought is, how long it would take to remove a rusted and painted plug and attach a hose. 🫤

Grant City is the county seat of Worth County, Missouri, which voted 81.8% for tRump.

There is definitely a connection between having a failed social, economic structure and support for a hateful leader who blames problems on minorities and immigrants. Add evangelical Protestantism to the mix and you’ve got tRump’s base. Lots of large tRump banners on houses in this town.

In contrast to the previous house, the yard surrounding this one has also been abandoned to the will of trees and brush. A small redbud tree is making use of the opportunity. (In the same small, impoverished, depopulated, deteriorating town.)
