A Whole Lotta More Better Pics!

For some reason I can't use Internet Explorer to do this blog. Internet Explorer is slow as a glacier. No surprise, since it is crap from Microsoft. Let's look at some more of downtown Lubbock!

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...
