There were lots of children around in Dwight. Like many small Kansas towns, it had some really cute houses and others in varying states of decay. We saw:
- An old church that had been converted into a home
- Many old stores boarded up downtown
- Historic school building
- United Methodist Church
- City building
- Community center
- Bank
- Railroad (a Union Pacific train came through town while we were there)
- Grain silos
- Closed bar
- Closed cafe
- Library
- "Trading Post" for sharing pantry goods
Myrick noticed that the City Office has a two-story facade, while the building itself is only one story tall. He promptly called them "A bunch of cheaters!"
Overall, Dwight seemed like a really resourceful community of folks who are working hard and adapting to keep their town alive.
