  Most visitors bureau's are on the outskirts of town on a main road.
  Ours you have to make your way downtown then down a side street and maybe
find a place to park.
  I think most people would just give up on the place and either not/or
quit looking for it.

  These were wasting away long before that started.
  They were cosmetically restored (i.e. some fresh paint was slapped on
them) over 50 years ago and nothing done since.
