Welcome to Hooverville...

Hooverville, USA (click to enlarge) |
Hoovervilles (there were many) cropped up across the nation as American's could no longer afford their homes and farms after Herbert Hoover, Republican President, allowed the nation to slip into the Great Depression as a direct result of his inactivity. People lived in shanties and shacks on abandoned or open land. They begged for aid but their cries of despair fell on deaf ears.
From the depths of Hooverville, we now have Walkerville.
