terminates at the airport, at the north end, and just to the east, and south of Regis Street, you have a little housing area. We photographed a few things in the vicinity of Regis and MLK.
There ARE some nice houses in that area, but that's not what I like to photograph.
It might be interesting to live in this area, off the beaten path.
Next time around, I'll be doing some more pics of Lubbock in the deteriorating downtown area, and then we'll be moving off to Slaton.
... near the airport, and near the Water Treatment Plant:
That's a seed pod, below...
Parting views of the Water Treatment Plant...
I thought I remembered it well, but after about a dozen years, it is getting kind of hazy. I was there for many years, and I held many different positions.
The Treatment Plant now looks rather forbidding, like a maximum security prison.
Cotton!
So much to see!
Isn't crap like this, an abandoned building like this, so close to the airport, a security risk?
It probably is a security risk but if some Good Old Boy owns it, it'll stay there forever and nothing will be done. Let's move on to Lubbock's Water Treatment Plant. I used to work there!
They've got a lot of security these days. When I was there, anybody could walk in at any time, but I guess that had to change.
Just some more pics of the tumble-down, rundown, ramshackle buildings you find in that area:
This junk probably belongs to a close friend of somebody on the city council, and that's why it remains unmolested. Maybe this crap belongs to the mayor. Who knows?
If you want to prosper in Lubbock, you'd better be connected. And, if you are connected, zoning laws don't affect you. You can get away with a lot.
