McKenzie Park and Municipal Drive

Taking a very close look, as usual.




This stuff is associated with the golf course.





Below, is a glimpse of Municipal Drive. Remember, the Munici is your pal.



I'll never forget this particular part of Municipal Drive, but it would be too complicated to explain. Next time, we'll explore some residential areas that are outside the city limits. No codes! No zoning! Anarchy! Trash and pollution and filth and squalor. Freedom from government interference in other words.

July 4th In Lubbock

Yeah, I'm that far behind. We examined preparations for "Fourth On Broadway", which has been relocated thanks to snotty people in North Overton. It used to be fun but now it's a pain. We did not attend. But this is what things looked like the day before.




It was HOT and the plastic tents smelled toxic. This was in McKenzie Park.




Plastic tents are not a good idea.




These areas would be packed with people, next day.



 There I am, above, trying to imagine being entertained. I was not able to imagine being entertained. My bad.


We moved on, to other areas in the park.

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.
