“On the sleepin’ city sidewalks,” Clewiston 2012

Known as “America’s Sweetest Town,” the City of Clewiston on the southwestern edge of Lake Okeechobee is the home of US Sugar. Sugar, citrus, vegetables, and fabulous bass fishing are still keeping this small, rural community alive. On one particular Sunday morning, I think everyone in the company town was in church except me and this fisherman. The canal he’s fishing is connected to the Lake in the background, and watching him from the sidewalk on a US 27 bridge, I couldn’t help but hum: “There’s nothin’ short of dyin’, Half as lonesome as the sound, On the sleepin’ city sidewalks: Sunday mornin’ comin’ down.
