Of course you are aware that I have a bit of a thing about abandoned buildings, so it won’t surprise you to know that I pulled off the road for a few shots of this place.

This is just north of the thriving community of Cline’s Corners, New Mexico, which is famous for thousands of billboards letting travelers on the interstate know how fabulous Cline’s Corners is. (The only thing, to my knowledge, that is in Cline’s Corners is a 30,000 square foot “retail center” which sells the usual roadside-store stuff.)

The building I photographed used to be a roadside store, too, but wasn’t able to benefit from interstate traffic or billboards or tourists. But here’s the important difference: I didn’t make any photographs at Cline’s Corners.
