It's pretty much a one street town where the majority of the stores are closed or boarded up, but at one end of the main st there were a couple of gems. An old hole in the wall gas station and a Dairy King inside another old gas station. Despite its small stature, Commerce has a couple of claims to fame. Firstly it was the home town of the famous baseball player Mickey Mantle and secondly, Bonnie and Clyde killed one of Commerce's police officers in 1934.
This place is classic small town America and I loved it...
