On May 2, the Birds Point Levee along the Mississippi River was blown as part of a plan to prevent further flooding downstream. Half a year later, the town of Pinhook that sat behind the levee sits empty as residents look for a "new Pinhook." Check out the great article that this piece went with in the Columbia Missourian.
Well done Ben. Very moving. I would be interesting to visit this site from year to year to see how it weathers as a ghost town.
