Sometime in May a Barack Obama poster appeared on one of the boarded up windows of the old Vermont American plant on East Main Street. The slightly skewed angle gave the poster a dynamic edge. The Kentucky primary came and went, Obama lost, and his poster began to slowly disappear. In early June the poster had been clawed, ripped, and partially torn away. All that remained was a heroes smile and a giant “O”. By late June the poster was gone. The only clue to its existence the glue stain left on the boarded up window.
