Picture Window Films Give Dying SWOK Downtowns A Facelift

All across Southwest Oklahoma, there are countless small towns that have seen better days. Once thriving downtown areas have given way to modern trends. Merchants have to compete with bigger stores, new generations are moving away from family businesses, and old buildings are falling apart in the lack of prideful ownership. The strip of city limit highway that runs through these small towns are becoming less charming, more eye-sore, until now...

In the last few years, a new trend has started to catch on around the country. Tint-like window films that have photo-realistic prints on them.

So instead of driving though town looking at a mess like this...

These films can show onlookers a glimpse into a buildings prime like this...

It's insanely cool, and looks great backlit at night. Lets hope this catches on, and run down, decrepit downtowns across this state finally start finding some affordable pride again.
