Lubbock Skyline From Interstate 27

This is what you see:

 On the left, the continuing eye-sore, the OMNI BUILDING. The city would like it to be demolished.

Fair Park Coliseum-- Elvis Presley played there, back in the day.

 "The Federal Building" dominates this view.

 This structure has something to do with the cotton seed oil industry, I think.

 "The Federal Building" is right in the middle of this pic. If you serve on a Federal jury, this is where you go. Also Bankruptcy Court and related things. Impressive antennas on top!

 Lubbock's only hi-rise apartment complex is part of the skyline: Park Tower.

 I-27 is not in such great shape anymore.

On I-27

Last weekend my wife and I headed north on I-27, toward the airport. She took photos along the way. I left these photos in their natural state, to reveal the natural drabness of the landscape. This installment begins another little photo series:

 Here, we are just about to get ON I-27.

 And now we are on the "on ramp"...

 Heading north...

 Hotels and Motels...

 Parched vegetation...

 Nice bricks! They tried to make this stretch of highway look decent and they did OK.

 Downtown Lubbock skyline coming up on the left...

And So, This Photo Series Comes To An End

There will be another one, soon, another "on the road" type series.

 

More Pics From Idalou Road

All of this stuff was taken at two locations, not very far from each other.

 

Sights Along The Road To Idalou

Someday all of Lubbock will look much like this:

Ruins in a desert.
