Still In Downtown Lubbock

Many meters!

Chutes and hoppers and loading docks abound.

Bricks, bars, pipes, drains.

Meters and more meters and mystery objects.


 

Downtown Downtown

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?

Many, Many, New Photos!

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...

 

Let's Finish That Old House

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.
