Lubbock has expanded so much to the southwest, this downtown area might as well be abandoned.
Next, we are going to Slaton and I will show you an old, abandoned, golf course there, and views of a canyon near there, and many pics taken while driving back to Lubbock.
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.
