Back To South Overton

Old neighborhoods, and the older parts of Lubbock are interesting. The new stuff is sterile.

Interrupting Photo Series

Overton South is being replaced, temporarily, by some new photos taken this past weekend with my cellphone.

Goodbye, 18th and K Building. My wife and I have good memories of this place.

This was once an Episcopal Church. Then it became part of the YMCA. I used to play chess there, when the chess club met there on Saturday morning. It appears to be abandoned now. It has been in this state for a very long time.
