On Sunday afternoon, I took a walk through downtown Farmington, Missouri. There was practically no automobile traffic, and there was even less pedestrian traffic.
Downtown Small Town, Missouri still shuts down on Sundays.
As I walked down Main Street, the occassional driver passing by in their truck or car craned their necks to stare…
What is that woman taking pictures of? I imagined them wondering as they gazed through their windsheild at me with my digital SLR.
If only they’d get out of their cars and take a walk, maybe they’d begin to discover the beauty in their own small Missouri town. Until then, this smalltowngirl is trying to capture it for them, one black and white photo and one Small Town, Missouri blog at a time.

Love the photo, and I think I’d thrive in a small town! The peace and simplicity of it
Funny enough, Farmington is the town I really love walking around in, and in fact prefer it to driving. Maybe it’s that I walked there as a kid, and moved before I was ever able to drive myself around, but still when I go “home” to visit “family” (none of whom are related), it feels wrong to me to find them in my car.
Downtown Farmington IS amazing! I am so glad you are capturing this! It makes me wanna take advantage of this incredible weather and find an outside cafe and sit down and sip a cup of coffee!!! I think I will!!!
It’s interesting to see our town in black and white. I had to pay closer attention to the picture to figure out where it was taken. Great pics!
gorgeous pic! do you have more (she asks while smirking, because she already knows the answer)
Maybe it’s time for another Downtown Farmington post. I have a handful a really nice black and whites of downtown.
