Checking Out Lubbock County

Again, out in the boonies, and finding more ruins.

Here is an old fallen down liquor store. There are a LOT of these things around. Lubbock sure was DRY, wasn't it? Now, there is no need for such things out of the city limits, and they have become ruins.

Another one! It was the Imperial Package Store. Not much is left of it now.

People lived out here, once.

Where did they go? Why were they out here? Who were they?

And then, there's always the oil-related stuff.

 The agricultural stuff...

 And you always find old couches and mattresses out in the boonies. These things get dumped everywhere, and they never get removed. 

Back in the city limits, we found the ruins of an old "assisted living" facility, or maybe it was a nursing home. Now it is full of ghosts and bad things.

That was a big update! I have many, many, more pics. We found more interesting things out in Lubbock County, and we visited Lorenzo. All those things are yet to come.

More Of That Isolated Lubbock Neighborhood

Obscure, cut-off, one way in and the same way out, like a big cul-de-sac. And it is old.

And the lower reaches of Yellowhouse Canyon were fenced. This is as close as we could get.

And wouldn't you know it, this is yet another informal and illegal dumping ground.

But it seemed like a nice, quiet, area to live. The houses were modest. Most were in fairly good shape and some were very nice. A few were wrecks. 

Whoever owns that fenced in piece of Yellowhouse Canyon keeps horses there. We saw these on the way out. Next, we'll visit more abandoned liquor stores and see more sights in East Lubbock County, out in the boonies, where you can do just about anything.
