Grady

Most people drive right past the small town of Grady as the hurry by on Hwy. 65. In fact a lot of people might remember Grady since it used to be a pretty notorious speed trap. I got caught there too, way back when I was in college heading down to New Orleans for Spring Break. 

Grady sits within the Arkansas Delta, and is surrounded by flat fields that are dotted with grain silos. I pulled off of Hwy. 65 and made a quick stop at this one, which was reflected in a large puddle. It was a stormy day and dark clouds were overhead.



Spring is almost here, and the barren fields will soon be growing soybean and rice and cotton.



The old high school in Grady was built in 1915, and was used until the school district was consolidated with Star City.



And just down the road is this old house:



And just outside of town was this abandoned farmhouse:



Also nearby is this old church, almost hidden amongst the trees and overgrown brush:



And a quick peek inside. It looks like the floor is about to fully collapse (I wasn't brave enough to step inside):



And one last shot, of another abandoned house that stood out thanks to its bright paint:
