Byers, KS. With a population of 35 (fifty percent of whom are 45 or older) this place isn't long before it's completely dead. Unfortunately there is almost no information about it on the internet.
The hunting lodge is for sale. It appears that they got their benches from a Braum's.
City Hall. It doesn't seem particularly likely that this town is still incorporated. There aren't even those proper green signs announcing the name of the town when you enter.
I like old grain trucks.
It's rare to see a church abandoned in a small town but when you do it's a sign that the town is well on its way to oblivion.
"Reserved for Pastor." These days the Pastor has his pick.
There are many uninhabited dwellings here-- quite a few more than inhabited ones.
My grandparents operated a little general store in Byers briefly during the 1950's. At that time I believe the population was around 100. Desolate as it is, I have fond memories of the place.
