I had an opportunity to photograph Jefferson City’s downtown, which is centered on High Street.
High Street illustrates the pluses and minuses of a downtown that remained semi-viable through the suburbanization of America. One one hand, the buildings are occupied, but unfortunately they are often plastered with ridiculous vinyl and metal coverings–to make them look “modern.”
Admittedly, some of these 1950’s sheathings do have their kitschy appeal.
