Rural Missouri is defintely close to my heart and makes me homesick every single time I stop and reflect in places like this.
Just a rural ‘blocked’ door photo from Bahner, Missouri. The old Dodge “Door” is in full view though.
Missouri has many of these “Blink-and-it’s-gone” communities. Pettis County, my residence, is no exception. I grew up less than a mile from one. (future doorscursion) They remain for the most part unchanged except for the weathering of the wood and metal adornments.
From Wikipedia:
“Bahner is an unincorporated community in Pettis County, Missouri, United States. It is located at 38°34′10″N 93°7′43″W(38.5694640, -93.1285358), and its altitude is 886 feet (270 m).[2]
A post office called Bahner was established in 1882, and remained in operation until 1907.[3] Edward Bahner, an early postmaster, most likely gave the community his name.[4]“

I love that old gas pump too – nice one 🙂
Thank you. My eldest had senior photos taken at a similar place and it looks so cool!
Terrific photo. Love the variety of reds in building, pump, and truck.

Thank you so much!
Good photos, true, but I know what you mean about feeling heartsick. So many small towns are disappearing or going downhill.

I had such a wonderful childhood growing up in the country. Wouldn’t trade it for the world and yes it’s hard to see it disappearing. Thanks for stopping by!
Live near several spots like this in Missouri. One is Myrtle Missouri.
We Love rural Missouri 💕
Me also. I love to drive around see all the small towns.
