Ropes, Ropes, And More Ropes!

Got Ropes?

Yes, we got Ropes. Get your Ropes right here.

And I note here that any residential-looking structures we photographed appeared to be unoccupied, abandoned, or uninhabitable. 

As usual, we encourage you to go shopping in Ropes. You will be glad you did. Next time, we just might finish our examination of Ropesville.

 

More Ropes

We really photographed this place.

We really wanted to do up Ropes right.

There were a few things we did not photograph this time, like the cotton gin and high school, but we did those the last time.

Besides, this is mainly about shopping. We don't think you can go shopping at the cotton gin or high school. We tried to stick with the places where you might be able to go shopping. 

We were thinking of returning to Ropes around Christmas, for the specific purpose of shopping. And then we would describe our experiences here, and show you what we were able to buy.

Meanwhile, as always, we encourage folks to explore the many opportunities that exist in Ropesville, or Ropes, as the locals call it. And we are still not finished with Ropes. Nope, we are a long way from being done with Ropes.



 

Ropesville, Texas-- Continued

I wonder whether any other Texas town of this size has had such a prolonged and intense look. When I am done, Ropesville will have a real photo archive on the web, and we both hope that this community benefits from our efforts.

We know that at least one person in Ropes is afraid that no one will shop there, that folks might even avoid Ropes. Well, we hope our efforts will encourage shopping in Ropes, and tourism in Ropes, to fuel the local economy. Somebody might be interested in buying these old classic cars, for instance. I am not sure who owns them, or whether they are for sale, but at the moment they appear to be rusting away and doing nobody any good.

My wife and I like to see cars of this vintage restored. It breaks our hearts to see them rotting away like this. 

In a town like Ropes, it is easy to see the "nuts and bolts" of infrastructure, and that is an educational experience for the kids.

We assume this has something to do with the local water system. In larger towns they hide this sort of thing, or it just gets lost among the many commercial and residential buildings. But tax-payers have a right to see such things-- anyone who drinks the local water has a right to view this sort of infrastructure.

Ropes deserves a visit. You owe it to yourself, and to your family. Think about life in a small Texas town. See life in a small Texas town.

This series on Ropesville is not yet done. We have more to show you.
