A Little Lubbock, And Then Anton

Yep, a little bit of Lubbock, and then a long photo series spotlighting, Anton, Texas. We found Anton to be as depressing as Ropesville. Downtown on a Sunday afternoon was deserted. It was full of ruins, abandoned buildings and businesses that had failed. It was sad.




 Lubbock has ruins, too. But now, on to ANTON!

Pics From The Labor Day Weekend Flea Market

It was kind of a bust, since the Red Raiders were playing their first game, right at home. We bought only one item and we did not stay very long.











We've got a few more Lubbock pics, then Anton, and I want to detail a change I made to my VM Jaguar guitar-- I made the switch to a Mustang bridge, after reading many opinions. It worked out great but I want to describe what I had to do to make it work.

Thunderbirds In Brownfield!

These cars were an unexpected find!




It must have been a club out for a spin, but I don't know whether it is based in Brownfield or not. 





Coming up, some views of a local Flea Market, taken during a Labor Day sell-a-thon. And after that, a look at ANTON, a town we have not visited before. We took a lot of photos in ANTON!

Moving Along With Brownfield

For those who like classic cars, there's a treat at the end of my Brownfield survey.




There's still a lot of these ruins, too.




It seems that a Thunderbird Club was having a meeting in Brownfield, and so I photographed their cars in the parking lot of a Subway. Next blog entry will be nothing but old Thunderbirds.

Brownfield-- More

More Brownfield, examined closely...




There's a weed problem in Brownfield, but also in every other town we've visited. Lubbock can't keep up with the weeds, either.




We saw plenty of abandoned buildings and not much new construction.
