The Hidden Things In Downtown Lubbock

We always find something we have not seen before.




Wires and walls and windows and poles and doors and ladders...







 Sometimes you find something really mysterious.


What the heck does THIS mean?? Weird stuff in downtown Lubbock. Strange things beneath the surface.




More of this next time.

Finishing The Fair, Looking Downtown Again

Last of this year's fair. Same old same old.









We feel obligated to do the fair each year, even though it is the same old same old. And this year is was disappointing because of the lack of food. The volunteers who do the food booths need to get on the ball.
Now we scrounge around downtown Lubbock, looking for more secrets to reveal.

This cat seemed well fed and cared for-- not a mere alley cat.






More of this to come! More wires and more bricks.

The Annual South Plains Fair

But first, dead roses in the sink-- I just wanted to try something different.




And NOW the Southplains Fair. We didn't find the food booths open on the first day of the event. Only a few were in business, even as late as noon. Seems to us that it was a missed opportunity for revenue. The volunteer organizations are probably hurting for volunteers.




The rest of it was what we have come to expect.




It was a nice enough day for it.




We don't do rides.




The carnies call this stuff "slum". It's what they give away.




We will finish the fair next time, and move on to more of Lubbock's alleys.
