Lubbock's Waste, Ruin, And Illegal Dumping

You see lots of waste, ruin, and illegal dumping in some parts of town.

You can also see a lot of inadvertent abstract expressionism.

Mattresses and couches are the things that are most often dumped in town. Hard to dispose of things like this.  It would not surprise me to learn that these dumping grounds sometimes conceal human remains. If that's the case, I think local law enforcement would just rather not know. In my opinion, city officials are as rotten as the moldering debris you see in these pics.

When I see things like this, I have the feeling that I'm looking into the very heart of the "whited sepulcher" that is Lubbock, Texas. That's not to say there aren't good people here; it's just that there aren't enough of them where it counts.

 

More Of The Lubbock Most People Never See

Some parts of this town are not thriving at all.

Most of Lubbock could not care less.

There's a lot of barren land and a lot dead businesses.

At least the prairie dogs are doing well. They are numerous out here, big and fat and happy. In that respect they are like the empty-headed fat cats who run this city.

 

Concluding New Braunfels

These pics conclude our close look at this town.

Next time, a close look at one of Lubbock's desolated "industrial" zones. In some parts of town it seems that code enforcement is non-existent. Large tracts of land within the city limits are being used for nothing. Virtually every house appears to be on the verge of collapse. Illegal dumping is rampant.
