Day 256 -- Pattonsburg


The town of Pattonsburg, Missouri, experienced terrible flooding in 1993, so bad that they actually moved the whole town three miles, to higher ground. They weren't able to move the school at that time, because insurance didn't cover it, but three years later, there was a fire. Above, you see me in front of the burned out school building.


Having the opportunity to start from scratch, the people of Pattonsburg did it up right. Here you see their "Monolithic Dome" school. Is that a cool looking building, or what? And, as you see below, it's just as cool inside. This is the kindergarten room. The various domes hold the different grade levels, so the kinders don't have to share a hallway with the high schoolers.
