点评:Downtown Mena is a nifty place with some pretty unique storefronts, and this building is a big part of the scene. I'm really glad this gem was preserved and repurposed rather than being razed as has happened to so many small-town stations!
To me, the seems much bigger than it is. I think that's a result of the prominence it enjoys in the center of a divided downtown.
The interior is packed with relics and exhibits of both local history and of the Kansas City Southern Railroad. Depending on your focus, you might spend 10 minutes scanning their collection, or a couple of hours sorting through articles, correspondence, and visual pieces. It's all up to you!
If nothing else, it's a great place to pick up info about the area, stretch your legs a bit, and enjoy the ambiance of another time. Across the past 40 years I've stopped here several times, and have enjoyed each visit. Perhaps you will, too!
翻译:梅纳市中心是一个漂亮的地方,有一些非常独特的店面,这座建筑是场景的重要组成部分。我真的很高兴这颗宝石被保存下来并重新利用,而不是像许多小镇车站那样被夷为平地!
对我来说,它看起来比实际要大得多。我认为这是它在分裂的市中心享有突出地位的结果。
内部充满了当地历史和堪萨斯城南部铁路的文物和展品。根据您的关注重点,您可能会花 10 分钟浏览他们的收藏,或者花几个小时对文章、信件和视觉作品进行分类。全取决于你!
如果不出意外的话,这里是获取有关该地区的信息、伸展一下双腿并享受另一个时光氛围的好地方。在过去的 40 年里,我曾多次在此停留,每次访问都很愉快。也许你也会!
