Now Back To Wilson





We've completed the interior of the Wilson Mercantile Store, and we are outside again...




Looking at all the different angles...




Tomorrow we should be done with Wilson.

Lubbock, Wilson. Wilson, Lubbock.

We have been looking at Wilson a lot. Let's flash back to Lubbock for a moment and make a quick comparison.

Wilson! Wilson!

I took a lot of photos there. We might never return.

 Here is the old soda fountain!


This town is a little off the beaten path.

Getting Deeper Into Wilson Mercantile

We were shown something I didn't expect at the very back of the building.
 A great old tin ceiling, but also a meat locker.



If you slaughtered a heifer, you could take it here and have it hung in back. Then you could visit for other groceries and also get a few cuts of meat to take home. Makes sense. We were invited to step into this meat locker. I guess I've read too much Stephen King-- I politely refused and stayed outside to take the pics. I'm sure Helen and Jenna would not have slammed and locked the door on us, but, like I say, my imagination is a little over-active.




Besides, this meat locker was just not a very inviting place...

Wilson Mercantile

We continue to examine the various items on display inside.




Were it not for the generosity of Helen and Jenna, I would not be able to show these things.




We are not done with Wilson!
