9 windows
My road trip took me to Hastings, Nebraska, where I got to see my pal Brett Erickson. I’ve known Brett for a few years now, and follow his blog. In all that time, and in all those images, I don’t recall that I’ve ever seen any photos of Hastings.
Maybe he didn’t want me to disclose this information, but I was able to find some old buildings while I was in town. Like this place, with those nine windows that caught my attention.
Oh, and just a word of advice here. If you are in Nebraska and it’s a football weekend and everyone from sales clerks to waiters to just random people on the street want to talk football, just go along with it. It’s a lot easier for everyone involved. Never mind how I figured that out.

Did you slide that door open and have a peek inside? Or are those concoidal fractures in the concrete from something large banging heavily on the inside, trying to get out? If so, best to leave the door closed.

The architect in the family tells me that the breaks in the concrete are from the rebar being too close to the surface of the concrete which causes the concrete to break away from the surface. Which sort of is the same thing as something trying to get out. Anyway, I did not find any open doorways to peer into.

I feel for rebar. It gets a brief moment in the light of day, then spends an eternity straining to get back to the light. It finds water and oxidation a very useful ally.

Yes, and it’s also extremely fond of the freeze/thaw cycle. In fact, at this time of the year, that cycle could start at any time. This could be the year it makes its big break!

“big break” indeed.

Yep. See what I did there?

If you have a bright red T-shirt with that phrase on it, you’d fit in perfectly!

That’s an ‘L’ of a picture, Melinda. Sorry, couldn’t resist that feeble comment on the shapes – but it’s true. There are echoes of similarity. And that little bit of grafitti catches my eye- no idea what it stands for but it just adds another little dimension to this.

Thanks, Andy. I like it that the graffiti includes quotation marks!
