USA 2025 - under new management and doing great!

“And as things fell apart
Nobody paid much attention”

(Nothing But) Flowers - Talking Heads
Photo of a small, abandoned, and decaying retail building with a tattered “under new management” sign in the window. Tall weeds grow around the building and trees encroach behind. Superimposed on the image is a quote from the song (Nothing But) Flowers by Taking Heads - “And as things fell apart / Nobody paid much attention.” The text is from a photo of the cd liner notes.

They forgot or ignored what little they had ever known of the Guardians, and of the labours of those that made possible the long peace of the Shire. They were, in fact, sheltered, but they had ceased to remember it."
