Finding yourself driving down East college avenue and South market street it's hard not to see the evident dilapidated state this town finds itself in. Both Mississippi state government and more local government can be blamed for this derelict state of this once college centric booming town. From the now defunct Mississippi Industrial College, to the empty storefronts, and the continual lack of funds for basic utilities have all led to this new condition Holly Springs finds itself in. As you will come to find out however, Holly Springs does not quit.
At first glance this looks like a great ecample of how Holly Springs has been developing. A beutiful entrance with a clean exterior. Looking ar the picture more the unkempt weeds growing on the floor can be seen, and then the closed until further notice signs on eithers side of the door.
Another entrance of Holly Springs we can see the neglect of the paint around the door and the overall terrible state of this storefront.
Right next to some of these dismal facades of the main square stands this great represntation of what Holly Springs can and wants to be.
Right across from the towns mural stands a part of the square thats both successful and charming.
Another great example of not only how the people of Holly Springs still show up and go to their square, but also the genuine ability for this town to grow into its beitiful potential.
