I drove through southern Arkansas last year. Some "homes" were so far gone that the only sign they weren't actually abandoned was the brand new quad cab parked next to them.

Went through one town whose economy was an ice machine in an empty lot with an extension cord running to the nearest house. The town gubmint's only revenue source was a radar gun. Luckily I was a few minutes behind the kids in the VW that paid that day's toll.
