With a Population around 55,000, Rocky Mount is a City in a downward spiral.  While our Federal Government has spent $1.28 Trillion of Taxpayer Dollars on the failed, "War on Terror" since 9/11, American Towns and Cities have lost millions of jobs overseas.

Since the year 2000, the Non Hispanic-White Population has decreased by 5%, the Non-Hispanic Black population has grown by 12%, and the Hispanic population has more than doubled.

The Poverty rate of children attending public schools in the primary years is an astounding 75% of Hispanics, almost 80% of Non-Hispanic Blacks, and 67% on Non-Hispanic Whites.  You can only imagine what percentage of Rocky Mounts population is on OBAMA care.

So... while our Fine Federal Government doles out Tax Relief for Corporate entities wanting to save a few bucks by shipping jobs overseas, and spend Trillions (mostly borrowed),boosting their egos by playing War Games, destroying Countries and then trying to rebuild them in our image...

Well yes, you get it!  Americans are last on the list .... and it's our Freakin' Money !!!



Note:  these photographs were spontaneously taken in 1 hour and 15 minutes one afternoon.  Time allowing, I could have taken thousands more.

And many thanks to the Folks @ PurplePlanet for the wonderful soundtracks.
