Time To Look At O'Donnell

We found another small town in decline, except for the schools. The school system is thriving and there is a big construction project.

Before We Visit O'Donnell

Yes, after Tahoka, we visited O'Donnell and we took a lot of photos there. This was the home of Dan Blocker, and if you've ever watched Bonanza re-runs you know who he was. But first, let's take another look at Lubbock, downtown...

For me, the alleys hold the greatest interest...
