We go here and we go there, to bring the most interesting images to a global audience! It is a nice hobby, and it is informative as well!
There is one place on University that never lets us down. It is a bit hard to get to now, because of street widening, but we hope it never disappears behind a fence. We hope it will never be replaced by sterile residential crap.
Why, these things qualify as ARTIFACTS!
We'll see more of these things next time.
We found something sad, and a little strange...
Actually, several years ago this was a kind of thrift store and flea market and junkyard and it was run by an aged Vietnam vet and he probably lived on the grounds with what seemed to be his grandson, an early teen boy who was bright and eager to help his granddad? sell things. We take these buildings as evidence that he didn't make a go of it. They didn't make a go of it. Seemed strange at the time. Seems sad and strange now. You've got to wonder where they are today.
What happened? What was going on, then?
Abandoned, it seems. A lot of years ago this property housed an actual junkyard and an auto parts store.
About forty years ago, if memory serves, this was Johnny's Auto Parts.
Yes, we are just roaming through Lubbock, looking for things to photograph. We found a CHEVY SHOW in McKenzie Park, a local club gathering. Friendly folks, enjoying their rides. Nice rides!
We would not mind owning one of these...
This sharp '58 would have been our pick.
I like to do photo tricks with cars like these...
The paint! The PAINT!!
Next time, we'll still be roaming around Lubbock.
