Columbia/Willy McCool Memorial

Willy MCool attended a local high school, Estacado, I believe. And the Columbia, disintegrating, passed over Lubbock. So it makes sense to have a memorial here. I remember that day well. 




In the background, above, is the veteran's memorial. The playa lake near these sites is almost dry. Will it rain? Or won't it?


 And here we have some views of a water system construction project on 82nd street. This was Pump Station 10. It was a disaster from day one. It cracked and it crumbled and it flooded more than once. It was constructed on the site of an old landfill. That might have had something to do with the structural problems. It is being revised in some manner. 
 Above, another ruin. And below, fun with telephoto. I got this from the backyard.
I was not using the best camera, so it is not too distinct.
