So our very first impression of the town was wonderful. The live shot happened right around sunrise. We were in the middle of a gorgeous landscape, surrounded by farms and this quaint village of 167 people.
Our energy raced that morning, Justin rushed to get as many beauty shots of the town and landscape as possible while the lighting was right (there's no better time to shoot video than right around sunrise and sunset, it just looks great.)
We hadn't made it to downtown yet though.
After the sun made its way up full, we drove into the center of town. Not exactly a downtown, but a "main street" more-or-less. It's where the post office was, city hall and the volunteer fire department were right across the street.
Then the empty shells of what was once the center of commerce.
There's only one business in town: A tractor and small engine repair shop run by a father and son who have both lived here their whole lives.
Very nice group of guys, with a heart wrenching/warming story about the struggle of their town and their fight to keep it alive by staying in business.
