Vicksburg, Mississippi: Folk Art Grocery Store Ruins
The Rev. Herman Dennis promised his wife Margaret that he'd build her something incredible. It involved a lot of colorful cinder blocks and big signs. After they died, Margaret's Grocery fell into disrepair, but a nonprofit group has begun its restoration.

A man built a church and a tower on US-61 north of Vicksburg. Actually, the sign says that this was the only church that Christ built. It's also the home of the "Double Headed Eagle," whatever that is. And all Christians and Jews are welcome to worship here. Put another way (on another of his road-side signs): "God have no white church and he don't have no black church." There's also a pink school bus parked behind the church. Overall, it has a...busy... appearance, but then, that's obviously what The Lord intended.
