I found this closed business, with its broken windows covered in Anti-Obama slogans, in the small town of Hicksville, Ohio. It is on the east side of High Street (State Route 49 and State Route 2), across from Hicksville Grain.

The biggest of the slogans, "One Big Ass Mistake America," is a common one, often seen on bumper stickers. The initials spell "O.B.A.M.A." The window also has a bumper sticker on it that says, "Obama: Impeach Him."

One of the messages on the window is hard to read because of the broken part of the window obscuring part of it, but it appears to say "Get a handgun permit."

The "Support Arizona" line refers to the efforts of some elected officials in Arizona's state government to 'prove' that President Obama was not really born in the United States.

Update: In February, 2020, I discovered that the front part of this building has been demolished.

Purchase Prints
by Christopher Crawford

All of my prints are available framed or unframed. I use black metal Neilsen & Bainbridge frames with white cotton unbuffered museum board for the mat and backing board for maximum archival protection. Photographs are printed on an Epson pigment printer using Epson's archival ultrachrome inset for long life.

Credit card payment is handled through Paypal. You do not have to have a Paypal account. When you checkout, you will be taken to Paypal's site. If you have a Paypal account, sign in and approve the payment.

If you do not have a Paypal account, and do not want to sign up for one, there is a link on the Paypal page that says "Don't have a Paypal Account?" Click it to pay without signing up. It will accept your credit card like a normal credit card payment.

Unframed prints usually ship within 7 days. This allows time for me to make your print and to allow it to cure for several days before I package it to ship. Framed prints usually take about two weeks, because my framer usually requires about a week to complete his work.

Please Note: In late 2024, I was forced to dramatically increase the prices for framed prints. This reflects the actual cost of framing them. I make no profit from the additional charge for framing; I charge you what the framer charges me, and every framer that I know has had to ramp up prices due to inflation in recent years. I earn my living selling my photographs, and offer the framing at cost because many people prefer to buy a print that is framed and ready to display.

Thank you for supporting my work.
