On the road: an anguished wake up call

There's a howl of distress in the land. This chair sat in the window of a vacant storefront on Main Street in Dunsmuir, California, a tourist town that was once an important railroad depot. It's a charming place. There appeared to be more vacant storefronts than working ones.

From the seat back:

Why are we so complacent?
What happened to the American spirit?
What will it take to wake up?
What happened to the American dream?
How can we be so complacent?
What happens to America?

You can read the seat.
