Another reason to stop in Sudan
In the same town where I spotted a yard sale sign and a rundown storefront, and on the front of this building was this magnificent scene.
The front of this building is only a few feet from a busy highway (US 84, heading northwest to Muleshoe, Texas) so taking pictures required some degree of faith in the ability of drivers to stay on the road. But it was worth it to see the pile of plaster that fell from the ceiling, the oval water stains on the far wall, and the narrow slabs of light shining through the holes in the roof.

Thanks, Donna! I’d been through Sudan hundreds of times (literally) but this was the first time I’d stopped. It was worth stopping for!

Wonderful photo. A good reason to stop in small towns more often.

Thank you. These little towns have a lot to offer to someone like me, who likes to find buildings that are decades past their prime.

This reminds me of my dorm room after a night of partying.

It does have that partied-in look, doesn’t it?

Now I am pretty sure I would not have graduated had I been sharing a dorm with Ken. But, I do recall seeing after party scenes that were as daunting to clean up as this place.

The scene was missing linger fragrances of beer and other…uh…substances. But otherwise, I could certainly see Ken’s point, which brought back some of my own college memories.
