Huntsville, AR, has a couple of roadside attractions I really like. For one, this derelict, ruler-edged gas station on Main Street. Note the service bays, and pumps without card readers. Catch these rarities while you can. Downhome Auto Repair folded, but one hopes the next tenant keeps it up instead of levelling it.

Another sight is the international-flavored "Dennis" house just South of town. For rural North Arkansas, this is as modern as it gets. Minimalist, elevated, and shamelessly...brown. The Renault-esq Murano parked below (which now "imparts a modern art feel" per Nissan) is not a bad choice. Probably more practical in Winter than a Citroen DS, at least. And how about that Highway 23 address sign? Great touch. Bauhaus meets Hog Haus.

One more thing that caught my attention were these anachronisms. Payphones? Really? Add big blue bowl housings, and quaint becomes mod-cool next to Highway 7 in Jasper, AR.

Well said, and I agree.
