More O'Donnell

The schools here are getting students from Tahoka and Lamesa. It seems that many parents do not like the schools in Tahoka and Lamesa...

 O'Donnell has its share of tumble down houses...





 You can't forget that this is an area where cotton is still king.

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. 








Many more pics of O'Donnell are on the way.

 Downtown Lubbock is also full of ruins.

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...




Lubbock's downtown area is home to government offices, attorney's offices, and ruins, for the most part. There are a few residences, both poor and ritzy.




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

 I don't think that's blood, but I might be mistaken...
