There's always stuff to see in downtown Lubbock.
Where else can you find an old Packard starship?
Plenty of mysterious industrial "things".
Enigmatic objects.
Secrets hide behind barbed wire.
Portals in abundance.
Hoppers.
Windows into dark spaces.
Got meters?
Yes, I have been processing and preparing many new photos, most taken in obscure and until recently inaccessible regions of Lubbock's downtown. Every time we go downtown we see more to photograph!
Here we are, at Ave. L and 19th, heading toward downtown!
Downtown Lubbock is mostly old and decayed.
It is home to many law offices, bail bond offices, the county and city jails, the courthouse, and the Police Department. Also, now you find a fledgling "arts" community, luxury townhouses and condos and a few restaurants catering to the legal crowd. There are a few antique/boutique type shops, too. My wife bought me a nice beer mug in one of those shops. And I bought her a small cobalt glass vase.
But there are lots of old buildings in sorry states of repair.
There are surprises as well, like this old Packard...
I hope everybody has had their fill of old house. At least, of this particular old house.
In the same neighborhood we found a car with BIG WHEELS!!
It amazes me to think that somebody actually thinks this car is cool. In fact, it is stupid. It is an old car with over-sized wheels and it is a death trap. The handling must be terrible. It must be used to cruise slowly through the hood. It must be used to look BAD. It DOES look bad. It looks like crap.
Who is up for more old house? Of old house we have more here!
Do not push and do not shove, for we have enough old house for all!
This probably is not the doorway to your fondest dreams... oh no! It is more likely to be the door to somebody's nightmare. Don't go there!
Here in Lubbock, Indiana is a much-traveled street, and many of us have seen this place. We decided to take a closer look. It is abandoned, as far as we can tell. Its condition is very, very, bad.
